Lump On Testicle Or In

Ernest La Jeunesse, 22 original drawings. Francis


Found a copy on Saturday rather exceptional in the first edition of Les Nuits , trouble and souls of our most notable contemporary (Perrin, 1896 ) to Ernest La Jeunesse .

There is, in sending a handwritten poem signed and dated 1904:
To Louis Bernieres

If I had words to offer Bernières
This book sprang from me for a long time I should
words so sweet and touching
that they wait and lions in their dens

is that there is no need of myrrh or incense.
These are early days, of passions and fleeting
safe, effort and pride revolts
Who We stand at the time or distant or recent.

We fight, we fought, we will fight again!
biases are there, the enemy also
The bourgeois, dignity, united with the blockhead!

we let ourselves be overcome? Or do we overcome? Oh so
Victory never belonged to the courage
It is ours to me, the fool, you, the wise!

Ernest La Jeunesse
January 1904
And in the margins of the book of original drawings in pen by the author in all twenty-two portraits, caricatures of writers.

In 1913, the reissue of Nights, trouble and souls of our most notable contemporary will be increased sixty sketches that do not always overlap the drawings of our copy, meanwhile, in 1899, to give Youth Talentiers, Ballads free by King Lear [Andre Ibels] (Library Art Criticism ), numerous portraits of writers in the same spirit. On 3 October 1901, he illustrated, always-portraits caricatures, a number of Butter Plate ( "The reading you gave me!" You did not watch? ).

See the summary of No. 8 of the journal Stories Literary , article of Eric Walbecq , Ernest La Jeunesse, some portraits on a copy on Japan, with margins in a hundred drawings of the same invoice.
