Note

"Il a été tiré de cette image, 10 exemplaires sur aluminium anodisé numérotés de I à X et 90 exemplaires sur papier mécanographique transparent numérotés de 1 à 90. Le tout constituant une édition originale"--Colophon. In addition there was a "catalogue" edition of 300 copies on opaque paper; cf. Galerie Michael Werner cat.
Cover title.
"Le modèle de cette image approximative est l'édition originale du poème 'Un coup de dés jamais n'abolira le hasard' de Stéphane Mallarmé, publié en 1914 par la librairie Gallimard"--Colophon.
The poem by Mallarmé is printed in typographically compressed format as "Préface," leaves [2-3]. The "image" on leaves [4-23] consists of bars representing the typography of the first separate edition of the poem, which was published in 1914 by Éditions de la Nouvelle revue française and subsequently reprinted by Gallimard.
Comprises 30 leaves of translucent paper. Includes 5 blank leaves, not counted in collation: 2 at beginning and one at end, and one preceding and one following "Préface." The bars representing the poem are printed on alternate pairs of opposite pages, but are visible in reverse on the intervening blank pages.
Issued in white paper covers, printed in black and red.
