Fine autograph inscription signed by André Salmon to his close friend the Provençal writer, caricaturist and filmmaker Carlo Rim who was notably the friend of Fernandel, Raimu and Marcel Pagnol but also of Max Jacob: "En souvenir du 4 octobre 1966 A toi Carlo Rim dont l'amitié active justifie l'éclat de cette célébration. A toi Alice qui voulut enregistrer les confidences de ton poète émérite. Littré, avec nous ! De tout mon coeur. André Salmon. La Hune dand un miraculeux été devant l'hiver. Cette apparente faribole peut-être sans doute mon plus sévère exercice de style. AS" ["In memory of October 4, 1966 To you Carlo Rim whose active friendship justifies the brilliance of this celebration. To you Alice who wished to record the confidences of your emeritus poet. Littré, with us! With all my heart. André Salmon. La Hune in a miraculous summer before winter. This apparent nonsense is perhaps undoubtedly my most severe exercise in style. AS"].
