ACCLAMATION EN L’HONNEUR DE SA MAGNIFICENCE LE VICE CURATEUR-BARON. 1959 (vulg.) ONE OF ONLY 13

Charleville: College de ‘Pataphysique, 1959

21.7 x 16cm, 8pp plus original blue card covers. Internally mimeographed musical notation by the authors (based on music by Mendelssohn in honour of the  acclamation of the Vice-Curateur-Baron (that is Jean Mollet). The pages are impressed with two ‘pataphysical rubber stampings in green.

This is an exceptionally rare document from the private ceremony and such invitations were only offered internally to the higher status participants in the College’s life as can be seen by the back cover which notes the publication as being “hors commerce” and reserved for the members of the college alone. The colophon indicated that this is one of ONLY 13 copies with blue covers aside from the 555 copies reserved for the lower orders.

A fine example.
