Provenance : Erich Steinthal (woodcut bookplate on front free endpaper). LIMITED TO 1,370 COPIES, THIS NUMBER CCLVII OF 25 ON PAPIER MADAGASCAR WITH AN ADDITIONAL SUITE OF THE FRONTISPIECE ON PAPIER CHINE , from the library of the publisher Erich Steinthal. Radiguet's first collection of poetry was published under the title Les Joues en feu (Paris, 1920). In the autumn of 1923, following the publication of his celebrated novel Le Diable au corps , Radiguet -- 'saisi d'un besoin d'ordre mystérieux' (editor's preface, p.[5]) -- prepared the poems for a second, enlarged edition and wrote a preface to introduce them. The work was finally published, with Max Jacob's prefatory poem 'Esprit de Raymond Radiguet', in 1925. The frontispiece was taken from a portrait of Radiguet drawn onto lithographic transfer paper by Picasso on 17 December 1920, and described by Radiguet as an 'admirable dessin' in a postcard to Picasso of 9 July 1921. However, the drawing was not transferred onto stone, and was therefore reproduced in collotype. This copy is from the library of the German bookseller and publisher of artist-illustrated books, Erich Steinthal. Amongst the works he issued were G. Hauptmann's Die Weber (Frankfurt, 1917, illustrated by Käthe Kollwitz , R. Dehmel's Aber die Liebe (Berlin, 1921, illustrated by Willy Jaeckel , and J.W. von Goethe's Geschichte Gottfriedens von Berlichingen mit der eisernen Hand (Berlin, 1922, illustrated by Louis Corinth).

Odouard Les Années folles de Raymond Radiguet (Paris, 1973), p.304.
