Precious copy enriched with two autograph letters signed by Raoul Ponchon (recipient unknown) :

- “My dear friend. It has been a long time since I had the pleasure of seeing you in Paris (. . .) the little favor that I ask of you: could you not tell me about a small wine (red) of a very relaxing table, not too expensive, of course (. . .) You would make me very happy. . . "

- “My dear & brave friend, I received with joy the “pig woman” that you are kind enough to give me (. . .) But tell me, how are you? . . . "

First edition opening with a pretty etched frontispiece signed Siméon.

Copy of the print on large paper, one of 170 on pure rag vellum from the Lafuma paper mills, after the first 25 on vat vellum and the following 30 on Hollande. (No. 26) .
