AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Autograph poem by Jean Cocteau titled "Le chien Japonais" from Le Prince frivole, the second work by the author published in 1910.
Rédigée à l'encre noire sur un feuillet de papier vélin.

This text, entirely in Cocteau's handwriting, is the preparatory manuscript of a poem published in the collection Le Prince frivole, the second work by Jean Cocteau, published by Mercure de France in 1910. "Le chien Japonais" does not appear in the table of contents of the original printed edition: it is part of the six poems from the manuscript that the author did not retain for publication.

The present leaf comes from the original working manuscript that Jean Cocteau composed in Maisons-Laffitte during the summer of 1909, then in Arnaga (Basque Country) during his stay with Edmond Rostand.

Provenance :
Pierre Mortier (1882–1946), journalist and man of the press, collaborator of Comœdia, where several poems from this corpus were published, and director of the daily Gil Blas. He was the dedicatee of one of the poems in the collection.

This manuscript set, originally composed of 86 leaves numbered in pencil (this one no. 82), was reputed to be lost in its entirety, as the scientific editors note:
« Le manuscrit original de la main de Cocteau manque » (Œuvres poétiques complètes, Bibliothèque de la Pléiade, p. 1842).

Dimensions : 24,3 x 25 cm
État : Une correction autographe (un mot biffé), petit trait au crayon en marge gauche et papier légèrement jauni en marges sinon très bel état de conservation. Voir photos pour plus de détails.
Nombre de pages : 1 page

- Jean Cocteau, né le 5 juillet 1889 à Maisons-Laffitte et mort le 11 octobre 1963 dans sa maison à Milly-la-Forêt, est un poète, peintre, dessinateur, dramaturge et cinéaste français. Wikipédia

Envoi soigné dans un emballage rigide et étanche.
