Provenance: inscribed by Laurencin to "Alfred" on the limitation page Limited issue, hors commerce copy on Japon vellum in addition to 5 numbered copies so printed, of a total edition of 110. Hatzfeld, an exponent of German Expressionism, was a contemporary of Rainer Maria Rilke, Thomas Mann, and Ernst Toller. Blinded during a suicide attempt in 1913 his poems are remarkable visually sensual. Therefore they are perfect match for these beautiful illustrations by Laurencin: "French painter, stage designer and illustrator. After studying porcelain painting at the Sèvres factory (1901) and drawing in Paris under the French flower painter Madelaine Lemaire (1845-1928), in 1903-4 she studied at the Académie Humbert in Paris, where she met Georges Braque and Francis Picabia. In 1907 she first exhibited paintings at the Salon des Indépendants, met Picasso at Clovis Sagot's gallery and through Picasso was introduced to the poet Guillaume Apollinaire. Laurencin and Apollinaire were soon on intimate terms, their relationship lasting until 1912. Laurencin became a regular associate of the painters and poets associated with the Bateau-Lavoir, who included Picasso, Braque, Gris, Max Jacob and André Salmon. She was present at the banquet given by Picasso in honour of Henri Rousseau in 1908 and produced the first version of 'Apollinaire and his Friends' (1908; Baltimore, MD, Mus. A.) in a highly simplified style, in which she pictured herself and the poet with Picasso and his companion Fernande Olivier. Both this and a larger version with additional figures (1909; Paris, Pompidou) show the influence of proto-Cubist works by Picasso and Braque, with their flat areas of colour, shallow space and references to 'primitive' art. Despite Apollinaire's claim that Laurencin was a Cubist, it is only to these very early Cubist experiments that her work bears any similarity Laurencin's painting style remained constant throughout the 1930s and, apart from a number of flower pieces and occasional landscapes, she continued to paint portrait and figure works, such as 'The Rehearsal' (1936; Paris, Pompidou)" (Grove Art online)"
