Avertissement aux locataires indésirables - Unique exemplaire conçu pour Claude Nardin

A unique copy entirely transcribed by hand by Michel Butor for Claude Nardin; the paper, handmade by Georges Duchêne at the Moulin de Larroque, is on antique 15; the wrapper, made of "grès de larroque" rag paper, is adorned with an impression by Ania Staritsky.

The work is illustrated with original colour engravings by Ania Staritsky, who also devised the original layout of the book with the collaboration of Claude Nardin.

A rare and very fine copy, complete with its brown full moiré cloth slipcase, slightly and marginally faded.

Manuscript pencil signatures of Michel Butor and Ania Staritsky at the colophon.

Our copy is enriched with two additional, distinct engravings and an original collage, all signed by Ania Staritsky.

At the head of the work, an autograph inscription signed by Michel Butor to Claude Nardin.

We also include an autograph note, dated and signed by Michel Butor, addressed to Ania Staritsky, concerning the work and its postal dispatch.

The note is written on the verso of a Côtes de Provence wine label.

Finally, our copy is enriched with a handwritten postcard, dated and signed by Michel Butor, addressed to Ania Staritsky, notably regarding the completion of this unique copy. The postcard features an original collage by Michel Butor.
