The first original edition of André Breton's legendary "Surrealist Manifesto" from 1924, the publication of which is considered to be the beginning of the Surrealist movement. This original edition also includes Breton's collection of 31 poems "The Soluble Fish", which, in later editions, was printed separately.

More info:
Prior to the publication in October 1924 of Breton’s manifesto, many skirmishes and quarrels had taken place around the use and meaning of the word “surrealism.” Various factions had laid claim to the word and definition of the movement. Several weeks earlier Yvan Goll had published his own “manifeste du surréalisme” in the single issue of his journal Surréalisme. But ultimately it was Breton’s that became the definitive statement. Originally conceived of as a theoretical introduction to his collection of automatic writings Poisson Soluble, the manifesto “quickly acquired the status of an independent text, delineating the goals and challenges of surrealism, even if its insistence on the supremacy of the poetic image was due to its originally intended application.”
