This suite is an 'ad personam' Foret Divine Comedy edition from an edition of 10 examples, this one specialy for Mr. Jean Subrenat, owner of restaurant La Méditerranée in Paris. (A few years afterward it was signed and dedicated by Dali to Mr. Subrenat, probably during a diner in Mr. Subrenat's restaurant that was popular with artists who stayed in Paris) There is an additional suite on japon nacré that was part of the 'Jean Subrenat' suite, but this did not have a box with it, so we offer it as a separate suite aside from the suite with text.
