Round about Midnight (Signed Deluxe Edition with Four Prints)
- SIGNED
- Alès, France: PAB, 1961
Alès, France: PAB, 1961. Text (12 pp.) and prints housed in white portfolio with titles; very minor rubbing to covers, else fine. Original glassine. Scarce, with only a single OCLC record located (Yale).. Deluxe Edition. Octavo. Another elegant publication from the atelier of Pierre André Benoit, featuring a sparse poem from the French-Algerian writer and anti-colonial activist Henri Kréa. Illustrated by a jazz-inspired engraving from Gianni Bertini, presumably riffing-off the Miles Davis resonance of Kréa's title. This deluxe copy, SIGNED by both Bertini and Benoit to colophon (as II of X), features an additional three loose prints from Bertini, each of them SIGNED, which don't appear in the trade edition of 40 copies.
