Original publisher's printed white glossy wrappers reproduction of a Man Ray photograph to front cover of each issue with titles and contributors in red against a white background taking the form of a lighthouse with revolving light later cream morocco-backed black card board chemise with title in red to spine and matching slipcase. 4 vols. in 3.

Printed text in French with reproductions of monochrome photographs throughout nos. 1 & 2 with printed 'Bulletin d'Abonnement' sheets on orange paper tipped-in issue with advertisements on various coloured stock see below. An excellent complete set of Lise Deharme's very scarce 'Le Phare de Neuilly' with the final number in the even scarcer large paper édition de tête format.The third number i.e. 'Numéro 3 - 4' is a large paper copy one of 20 nominatif examples issued on papier couché mat spécial printed for 'Monsieur et Madame Raoul Fernandez'; only the third volume was issued in this format.Although each title page of 'Le Phare de Neuilly' suggests that ten issues were to be published 'Dix numéros par an' only these four were achieved. A mixture of the literary and artistic the illustration is of monochrome photographs throughout with Lee Miller contributing to each issue; Man Ray's work also features - the covers are his work - as well as Nadar Dora Maar Brassaï Pierre Keffer Eli Lotar Lloyd Sloane and others.The literary contributors - all listed on the covers of each issue - are extremely varied and include Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes who also wrote the record reviews in the first two numbers Robert Desnos two poems in no. 1 Céline Arnauld Jacques Baron Hans Arp as a poet translated from the German by Georges Hugnet Paul Dermée Lise Hertz i.e. Lise Deharme Nathalie Barney Stendhal the unpublished 'Le lac de Genève' writen under Stendhal's pseudonym 'Henri Martineau' James Joyce see below Thérèse Aubray Jacques Lacan the poem 'Hiatus Irrationalis' Marcel Jouhandeau Ilarie Voronca the poem 'Foules' translated from the Romanian by M. de Boully D. H. Lawrence a translation of 'The Man Who Died' Claire Goll Eugène Jolas 'Gyroscope' Raymond Queneau 'Fragments d'un Roman' and many others.Of particular note in terms of content not to mention innovation are the following: - Alejo Carpentier's 'Images et Prières Nègres' illustrated with a series of photographs - the negatives were burnt in the presence of the Cuban sorceror 'Taita José' - of ritualistic objects shrines and saints; - Le Phare de Neuilly's presumably Deharme herself writing under the eponymous psudonym 'Manifeste du Désarmement Psychique'; - James Joyce's poem 'Ecce Puer' written on the birth of his grandson Stephen in 1932 translated into French by Yvan Goll and printed on the right of a sheet of transparent crystal paper; beneath on a sheet of glossy paper is a photographic reproduction of Joyce's manuscript for the poem and at left is a portrait of both Joyce and his grandson by Robert H. Davis; - Lloyd Sloane's extraordinary 'Monsieur Sépulcre Agent d'Assurances Présente . ' a Surrealist photographic collage novella; - no. 1 with the advertisements at the front of the issue printed in black on monochrome sheets of burgundy blue and pink paper that on pink with text reproducing Deharme's manuscript those at rear on cream newsprint paper advertising Jose Corti''s publishing house 'Corti / 6 Rue de Clichy' and announcing Deharme's own 'Cahier de Curieuse Personne / Poèmes / par / Lise Hirtz' to be published by Corti as appearing 'dans trois mois' this advertisement also reproducing Deharme's manuscript and Roger Vitrac's 'Le Coup de Trafalgar'.Lise Deharme the editor of 'Le Phare de Neuilly' published in the Paris suburb of Neuilly was a salonnière a prolific poetess and a novelist. A muse and patron to the Surrealists - she encountered them as a group in the 1920s - her first published work was 'Images dans le Dos de Cocher' of 1922 although her collaboration with Miró 'Il était une petite pie' of 1928 is cited more usually as her first publication both were issued under her maiden name Ilse Hirtz. Deharme was immortalised by Breton in Nadja as 'la dame au gant' and she can be regarded in many ways as being 'Le Phare de Neuilly' herself.'Page de couverture identique pour les trois fascicules : photographie de Man Ray contient de nombreuses reproductions photographiques de Man Ray Lee Miller Nadar Brassaï Pierre Keffer Dora Maar'.

Illustrated with 20 photographs including 7 photographs by Man Ray 4 by Brassaï one each by Dora Maar Henri Cartier-Bresson and Rogi André as well as artworks by Max Ernst and the statue of a female character by Giacometti in which the writer saw the very emanation of the desire to love and to be loved in search of its real human object in its painful ignorance. André Breton offers a meditation on love at first sight and passion drawn from his fateful first encounter in 1934 with his future wife Jacqueline Lamba this woman was scandalously beautiful. Recalling the beginnings of their romantic relationship he reflects on chance and embarks on a rereading of their love story detecting all sorts of phantasmagoric signs analysing his experiences and feelings. He concludes with an open letter to their daughter Aube born in December 1935 which ends with these words: I want you to be madly loved. A masterpiece of Surrealist literature both an extension and opposite of Nadja which was published nine years earlier also considered an objectbook in the classic surrealist style interleaved with photographs by Cartier-Bresson Brassaï and Man Ray . It proves its own startling kind of existence in the real world being not just a book not just the record of an extraordinary love that between André Breton and the artist with whom he shared his life but an object inserted madly and really now in our world Mary Ann Caws Translators note Mad Love University of Nebraska Press 1987.

While in Paris he met and became a close friend of Brassai who he quickly sensed was a kindred spirit and thus was born a life-long friendship that Brassai here documents from unpublished letters recollected conversations and references to Miller's writings. This is Brassai's intimate account of Miller's self-discovery and coming of age as a writer and thinker.</p> Arcade Publishing, hardcover
