Handwritten signed poem by Paul Fort: 13 lines in black ink, three tercets entitled “Chant de la paix – La ronde autour du monde”.
 
 “If all the girls of the world wanted to hold hands, all around the sea they could make a circle / If all the guys of the world wanted to be sailors, with their boats they would make a nice bridge on the water: Then we could make a circle around the world, if all the guys of the world wanted to hold hands.”
Handwritten inscription dated and signed by Paul Fort to Carlo Rim in green pencil beneath the poem: “Pour Carlo Rim, Très amical souvenir de la kermesse aux [a drawing of a star].
A superb manuscript, in Paul Fort's elegant calligraphy, of one of the most famous hymns to peace, taken up in songs, films, expressions and ritornellos throughout the 20th century, until it became a real popular “meme” whose origin has been lost in the collective unconscious.
