24 x 19cm, unpaginated (approx 32pp) Original wrappers. The scarce auction catalogue which displays the works collected by Peret. There are 156 items listed here from books, tracts and lithographs to paintings. Peret died in near poverty having had only one source of income as paid employment his entire life - as a proof-reader for Liberation. Here his collection of works were sold - and while there are some significant works most of his library were not so precious indicating a less successful life of finance alone were to be considered. Fine condition.
