Crêpes, tambours, poussière... Manuscrit autographe signé

A report on the state funeral of Anatole France, which appeared in ‘le Journal' on the 19th October 1924.
Henri Béraud once more demonstrates his powers of polemic and his rich sense of irony on the occasion of the funeral; this superb text echoes those published at the same time by the Surrealists in their famous text ‘Un cadavre'.
