Description

UNIQUE EDITION of 100 numbered copies reserved for friends of the author.
Frontispiece portrait of Yturri.

These Twelve Stations of Friendship were published by the author two years after the death of Gabriel de Yturri, his love of 20 years.
"Le beau ver s de Victor Hugo : I have a flower in my soul that no one can pluckThis does not only apply to love. That uniquely sensitive form of affection, Friendship, also provides a favourable seedbed for the blossoming of mental flowers. It was more than twenty years ago that it was born in my heart. It survives the disappearance of the One who traced unforgettable memories on its leaves and petals. It is these memories that I want to capture in these pages."

Copy in its original booklet. Part of the edition was bound by Charles Meunier at the author's request for his close friends.
