VERLAINE Paul (1844-1896).
ÉPREUVES corrigées, Louise Leclercq (Asnières, Imprimerie
Louis Boyer et Cie, [1886])| in-12 of 216 pp., [1] f. (table), contemporary bradel cardboard covered with navy blue silk with vertical stripes of flowers, entirely untrimmed.
A complete copy of the proofs of the book, corrected by Verlaine.
Louis Leclercq was published by Léon Vanier in 1886. The contract for this book was signed on March 4, 1886, and it will be published in November by Léon Vanier.
There are about 225 autograph retouchings on these proofs, consisting of erasures, deletions, additions, changed sentences or words...
Attached is a L.A.S. "P.V." to Léon Vanier (1 p. in-8, one edge a little frayed).
"I read in Victor Hugo this line: "This august and colossal bibliopole" [L'Âne, verse 289]. Bibliopole is taken here in the sense of City of Books.
So it will be prudent to delete the "Bibliopole Vanier" from the end of the book to avoid being made to feel like crap. He complains that Louise Leclercq's printer has taken it easy with the second corrected proofs: "All the mistakes are scrupulously maintained. He will therefore meticulously correct them as well as the first part of
Memoirs [of a widower]. "I will also have some verses to give you, I think.
