Blin (stamp-signed), gilt-lettered spine, original wrappers preserved. Cocteau claimed that Radiguet (1903-1923), his one-time lover, could not have possibly written these verses (originally discovered in manuscript after Radiguet's death) celebrating the sexuality of teen-age girls, but after Cocteau's death Radiguet's family confirmned that Ren�, indeed, wrote them. Renowned for his stylish verve, French Art Deco illustrator, designer, costumer, set decorator, graphic artist, and painter Ren� Ranson (1891-1977) was a prolific book illustrator; he was celebrated and highly productive in all the arts he worked in. Included is a facsimile of Radiguet's poem, Fianc�s de Treize Ans.Wrappers and title mod.-hvy. toned, a few leaves lightly so, otherwise an attactive, Very Good copy indeed of a book scarce in all editions. Pia 1385-86; Dutel III, 2594; Monod 9452.
