Terre sur Terre
TZARA, Tristan
Terre sur Terre
Geneva and Paris: Trois Collines, 1946
8vo., publisher’s cream card wraps, with integrated lined dustwrapper printed in black; pp. [ix], 12-65, [v]; with ten full-page illustrations by André Masson; some very minor creasing and scratching to covers; unglued at the backstrip showing the quires but with no loose pages; a couple of very light spots to the first few pages but otherwise clean and bright; a very smart copy, apparently unread, with many pages unopened.
First edition, limited to 3000 copies on vergé crème paper, of which this is copy 782.
A wonderful copy of Tzara’s poems, affectionately inscribed to Mathilde ‘Tilly’ Visser, wife of the Yugoslav Surrealist Zdenko Reich in 1957. The couple were long-standing friends of Tzara’s (another book inscribed to them by Tzara is in the Morgan library and dated 1939), and the inscription on the half title, which includes a drawing of a small flower, reads: “en souvenir de beaucoup de souvenirs | avec l’affection toute St Tropezienne et de bien d’autres endroits | Tristan Tzara | St Tropez le 29 Septembre 57.’
