Paris: Eugene Figuiere, 1913. 4° (231 x 180mm). 45 black and white photographic reproductions [not 46 as wrongly stated on the title]. (Text leaves lightly browned in the margins.)

Doctor Vuichon assisted Laurencin's mother when she was taken ill; one of Apollinaire's letters discusses the illness, and the other accepts an invitation to dinner, Apollinaire noting that Vuichon's 'thoughts on the Cubists are very judicious'.

The front wrapper and title show a possibly-fictitious printed statement that this copy is from the seventh edition.
