Autograph manuscripts signed "Louise Lalanne", one of Apollinaire's pseudonyms, of the chronicles and poems published by Apollinaire under this name in the journal Les Marges, from January to October 1909. 41 pages in-8, of which 28 are on the reverse side of "Ordres de Bourse" of the Société Générale de Banque, 3 on green paper and 10 on various papers, including a letterhead "Hôtel München", and 2 pages lined with red margins of a schoolboy notebook and pasted on afterwards a copy of the review "Les Marges" in which Louise Lalanne's women's literature and various documents relating to Apollinaire's deception are published. ... "There are so many women at the moment who write better than I could ever do, and above all I will never make myself into the kind of person I know they are" ... ... "For Renée Vivien I hope to have to speak of her soon in connection with a new book. Her verses and prose are of an ideal purity, a sensibility that makes me think of the lily whose perfume is so violent" ... Elegant binding by Paul Bonet covering the handwritten texts of Guillaume Apollinaire published under the pseudonym of Louis Lalanne.
