COCTEAU Jean
The Knights of the Round Table. A play in three acts (Paris, Gallimard, 1937); in-8, paperback. Original edition printed at 225 copies, one of the 9 copies on Imperial Japan, this one justified out of trade (B), after 6 copies on China. Precious copy sent to Jean Marais with two original drawings by Jean Cocteau, in charcoal on a full page. The first drawing, on the false title, represents the face of Galaad or Blancharmure, which Jean MARAIS embodied, with the sending: "Souvenir d'amour du travail à Jean - Jean". The second drawing, on the last double page of the book, represents a crying face in profile, spitting fire; it continues on the finished printing sheet, on which Cocteau has written: "Endless End".
