Pablo Picasso was a profound admirer of Char and of the work which collected all of Char's poems published after 1927 and submitted an etching for the second edition - printed in a very similar format to this edition - published again by José Corti's Editions Surréalistes in 1945. A third illustrated edition was also published illustrated by Joan Miró in 1976. This first edition and in this issue of 20 copies with Kandinsky's etching is the rarest of the editions; Picasso's etching for the édition de tête was issued in 25 copies while the version with Miró's etchings was an edition of 215 copies 50 with an additional suite.'Le Marteaus sans Maître' includes 'Abondance Viendra' 'Poèmes Militants' it appeared here for the first time 'Arsenal' corrected and with four new poems 'Artine' and 'L'Action de la Justice est Eteinte'. In the present copy the poems 'Sosie' and 'Détachement' feature corrections by Char in green ink. He has amended the last line of 'Sosie' to read: 'Je ne vais pas au bout de ta pauvreté' for 'tes misères' a change reflected in the subsequent editions. The first line of 'Détachement' 'La fleur du pissenlit a perdu son identité' is crossed through and Char has drawn an arrow to it from a note beneath: 'Ce vers ricanait qu'il meurs / comme tant ce fin ricane. / R. C.' 'Détachement' was renamed 'Dentelée' for subsequent editions but was altered considerably by Char and the first line crossed through here was removed entirely.'Des trois éditions illustrées du 'Marteau sans Maître' celle-ci la première est la plus rare . Dans une lettre à Char du 28.11.1933 Kandinsky accepte la demande de fournir une gravure pour son livre bien qu'il ne connaisse pas l'auteur.
