G.B. OU UN AMI PRESOMPTUEUX. 1969.

paul robertson — Sun, 07 Nov 2021 21:50:13 +0000

Paris: Le Soleil Noir, 1969

18 x 13cm, 92pp. Pictorial wrappers designed by Isabelle Waldberg. First trade edition. A decidedly odd portrait of Georges Bataille, which highlights in extremis his role as overseer of the meetings of the 'College de Sociologie' (herein characterized as a secret society). There were also 150 'du tete' examples. A fine copy.

OBJET DE LA REUNION: LES 200 FAMILIES. 1936.

paul robertson — Thu, 07 Oct 2021 23:01:46 +0000

Paris: Contre-Attaque, 1936
11 x 12.5cm, 1pp political leaflet with an illustration of a cow's head on a platter which ostensibly celebrated the anniversary of the execution of Louis XVI and condemned the supposed contemporary '200 families' who controlled France's financial sector; the hint being a similar fate as that befalling the aristocracy would be welcomed for the latter capitalists.
The leaflet announced that the main speakers at the rally would be Georges Bataille, Andre Breton and Maurice Heine. Fine. Very rare.
