Edition limited to 655 copies, this is one of the 600 numbered on Pur Fil Lafuma.
EXEMPLAR ENRICHED WITH 62 ORIGINAL DRAWINGS BY CHARLES MARTIN, including pencil sketches, inks, washes, gouache, watercolors... some as folding plates, all mounted on tabbed sheets, and each signed with the artist's monogram in pencil or signed with the name.
Unique copy.
Inventory of the original drawings:
* Comédies et proverbes 1: 9 drawings (4 drawings in pencil + 4 drawings in pencil and India ink + 1 brown ink wash and India ink)
* Comédies et proverbes 2: 5 drawings (3 drawings in pencil + 2 washes).
* Comédies et proverbes 3: 11 drawings (1 sepia ink + 2 India ink + 8 drawings in pencil).
* Premières poésies: 11 drawings (1 large original watercolor + 3 pencil drawings with India ink + 2 India ink + 4 brown ink washes + 1 pencil drawing).
* Nouvelles poésies: 11 drawings (1 large original watercolor + 4 India ink and pencil + 1 India ink + 2 brown ink washes + 1 pencil + 2 pencil drawings with wash).

Very beautiful copy, exceptional set illustrated with 137 plates + 62 original drawings.
Original drawings by Charles Martin are rare and sought after; here, in a well-made binding, interior fresh, with a small marginal damp-stain near the end of the poetry volume, not serious.
This series of Musset's works is indeed complete with its 10 volumes.
Only 2 volumes out of the 10 are not illustrated by Charles Martin: Mélanges de littérature et de critique (illustrated with engravings by Gavarni, Delacroix, Lami, etc...); and Correspondance (mainly illustrated with photographic portraits of Musset's correspondents, notably George Sand, Paul de Musset, Béranger, and many others...).
