Colette (Sidonie-Gabrielle) "Colette". L'Entrave, first edition, presentation copy, Paris, Librairie des Lettres, 1913.
Hammer Price: £700
Description
[Colette (Sidonie-Gabrielle)] "Colette". L'Entrave, first edition, presentation copy signed by the author on half-title, some marginal water-staining, especially towards beginning, uncut in original printed wrappers, modern cloth slip-case, 8vo, Paris, Librairie des Lettres, 1913.
⁂ Excellent copy with a good inscription: "A Georges Abric en témoignage d'une grande sympathie, Colette de Jouvenel." Abric was a friend of Colette's second husband, Henry de Jouvenel, and was also a witness ("témoin") at their wedding on 19 December 1912. It is therefore easy to conjecture that this book was given by the newly-married Colette on or very near her wedding day.
