Opens Thursday March 5th through Saturday March 7th |
Je vous salue, ma France [I Salute You, My France] Louis Aragon (Clandestine FTPF Resistance Imprint) (S.l. [Paris]), Éditions F.T.P.F., 1944, Original wrappers Copy No. 1 of only 25 numbered copies on Papier Alfa. Composed during the German occupation, Aragon's poem is a harrowing and defiant invocation of national identity, notable for its early and direct naming of the deportations and Auschwitz. Published by the Éditions F.T.P.F.—an imprint of the armed Resistance—this pamphlet was produced under the semi-clandestine conditions of the Liberation era.
The title typography is executed in a distinctive tactile relief, reflecting the urgent and irregular printing constraints of wartime France. |
