Description: First edition. Translated by Samuel Putnam. Royal octavo. 186 pages. Wrappers. 1000 copies printed by Darantière, Dijon. Publisher's note. "A Note on Kiki, St. Theresa and the Vulgate" by the translator. 20 full-page black and white reproductions of paintings by the author; 4 black-and-white photographs of the author by Man Ray; 1 black-and-white photograph (of her grannie) by the author; other black-and-white photographs; full-page black-and-white portraits of the author by Foujita, Kisling, Per Krohg, Hermine David, Mayo and Tono Salazar. Contains chapters on Man Ray, Kisling and Foujita.The original publisher's card slipcase is signed boldly in red crayon by both Hemingway and Kiki; in addition, Kiki has drawn crosses (kisses?) above her name and on the backstrip. Presumably the signatures date from the launch of the book. A later hand, but probably not much later as the ink is fading, and probably belonging to someone who was unaware of the significance of the signatures, has written the publication details of the book below Hemingway's name.Spine darkened. Very good. The original card slipcase is tanned, dusty, rubbed at the edges and a bit marked.
