Cahier de Curieuse Personne
Dali. Deharme, Lise
Paris. Editions des Cahiers Libres. 1933
Salvador and Gala Dali's copy with a presentation from Lise Deharme.
From the first edition limited to 310 copies, with this unopened copy one of 300 on 'Ingres rose' paper and with a presentation in purple ink from Deharme to Salvador and Gala Dalí on front free endpaper: 'Pour le seul peintre / Dalí / Avec: l'admiration profonde / de son amie / Lise / Pour Gala tendrement'.
Lise Deharme, who published her first book 'Images dans le Dos du Cocher' in 1921 (her second book 'Il Etait une Petite Pie' with illustrations by Joan Miró is often - erroneously - described as her first) under her maiden name Lise Hertz, was a muse to the Surrealists and editor of Le Phare de Neuilly, a periodical published in the Paris suburb of Neuilly. Immortalised by Breton in 'Nadja' as 'la dame au gant', Deharme was a prolific poetess and novelist. 'Cahier d'une Curieuse Personne' was her third published book.
