Precious and very beautiful autograph inscription signed by Maurice Fourre to (André) Rolland de Renéville: "... (Pour R. de R...) Sur le tapis de la laine usagée, le boa constrictor, de huit mètres de long, tout écaillé d'argent, ceinture intimement le lion chevelu de l'Atlas aux yeux songeurs..." ["... (For R. de R...) On the carpet of worn wool, the boa constrictor, eight meters long, all scaled in silver, intimately encircles the hairy lion of the Atlas with dreamy eyes..."]
Joints lightly rubbed with a repaired tear at foot, two light stains on the first endpaper, light traces of rubbing on the first cover.
Preface by André Breton.
