21.5 x 13cm, 8pp self wraps. Announcement brochure for the avant garde journal supported by Andre Salmon, Gino Severini, Jean Cocteau, James Joyce, Rachilde and others mostly of the right wing /patriotic persuasion (an extensive list of supporters is reproduced here). The brochure is mostly notable for a reproduced 3pp text of a speech given by Gabriel Boissy in honour and in the presence of the Futurist Marinetti. Elsewhere there is an announcement of a fundraising ball (as the Friends were losing 500 francs a week according to the notice) and also a salon in honour of Alexandre Guinle with the participation of Paul Valery amongst others and a short festival of Czech cinema. Very good and partially uncut if previously horizontally folded.

65 x 24cm. The published double-sided broadside programme for one of a series of annual Russian avant garde balls. This copy printed black on pink and contains one costume design by Gontcharova (the final garb intended to be made out of paper) and a vignette by Barth of Apollo (to whom the ball was consecrated). Artists credited for the decoration within the hall include Braque, Burliuk, Chagall, Delaunay, Dufy, Foujita, Galanis, Gontcharova, Gris, Leger, Larionov, Laurencin, Matisse, Man Ray, Marinetti, Mayakovski, Picasso, Picabia and Zadkine.

The programme notes that Tzara was to contribute a "spectacle sur l'Echeelle" with 2 actresses, one actor and the author. Foukita offers a dance. Part of a short musical score by Tailleferre is also reproduced. The event was a massive undertaking and the general public were invited.

One of an annual series of such avante garde spectaculars. Good condition despite some creasing and some short tears around the fold. Very scarce fragile item.

29 x 23cm, 4pp. Quarto single sheet folded to comprise 4pp. The French language issue (simultaneously with the French) of this single number from the primary Futurist journal with a reprinting of the Futuriste manifesto on speed (with later additions when compared with the first publication in 1916). "La vitesse, qui a pour essence la synthese intuitive de toutes les forces en mouvement, est naturellement pure. La lenteur, qui a pou essence.... analyse rationelle de toutes les fatigues est naturellement immonde. Apres la destruction du Bien antique et du Mal antique, nous craons un nouveau Bien: la vitesse; un nouveau Mal: la lenteur".

Some typical browning, paper slightly fragile, and some slight edge wear and tiny amounts of paper loss along fold - otherwise a very good example of this very important document.
