HERBE A LA LUNE. 1936. PREFACE BY PAUL ELUARD. POET’S FIRST BOOK.

Paris: G.L.M., 1936

19 x 14,5cm, 72pp. Printed wrappers. First edition of this Surrealist poet and artist’s first book. One of just a few hors commerce examples (hand marked H. C.) on vellum issued (there were 300 additional copies to complete the edition).

Eluard’s preface is fortuitous, as to Penrose’s later on site explorations of Eastern philosophies. A fine example. Scarce.
