Description:
[PEILLET (Emmanuel)]. ORAISON FUNÈBRE DE MÉLANIE LE PLUMET. Prononcée par sa Magnificence Le Vice-Curateur-Fondateur du Collège de Pataphysique le 4 gueules LXXVI. Collège de 'Pataphysique, 26 gueules LXXVI [1949]. 14 × 11 cm.First edition of Collège de 'Pataphysique's first publication. It is, as such, significant in the history of French post-war intellectual and artistic avant-garde. Printed at only 20 copies according to the colophon (probably slightly more in reality, but not much); this one is numbered 2.
Scarce and sought-after. Beautiful typography, in golden letters on black paper. Covers faded—which seems inevitable.
