Binding signed Lavaux. A fine copy with wide margins attractively bound. Bookplate pasted to a flyleaf. The author's own copy profusely extra-illustrated of this magnificent Montmartre chronicle. Tipped in is an original ink portrait of Roland Dorgelès by Gus Bofa humorously captioned: ""Monsieur Roland Dorgelès dans son uniforme de rédacteur à la petite semaine"" Alongside two original photographs one depicting the famous Montmartre figure Francisque Poulbot in his Guignol theatre Agence Rol 1910 and the other a very rare photograph of the legendary Fête des Dernières Cartouches organised by Poulbot on 23 May 1913. We have located only one other known image of this event. The photograph shows the merry band of participants at Poulbots place on rue de lOrient dressed as soldiers from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. The celebration which created quite a stir is recounted by Dorgelès in this book: One day or rather one night the uproar reached its height: when Poulbot gave his famous Dernières Cartouches party. The idea came to him after a dispute with his landlord on rue de lOrient who had refused to renew his lease. Poulbot had only recently moved in and had built a studio in the garden at his own expense. Does he think Im going to give it to him as a gift he fumed. He can rot! Ill barricade myself inside and wait for eviction. Right away we all swore to join him in defying the police just like at Fort Chabrol. But our tall friend was already improving the plan: Even better! Well dress up as soldiers from 1870 and defend ourselves like the Last Cartridges! The Maison des Dernières Cartouches was an inn in Bazeilles where French soldiers had made a heroic last stand during the fall of Sedan. Their sacrifice inspired a famous history painting by Alphonse de Neuville. By firing from the windows! By blowing everything up! The operation was immediately planned. Orders were issued stamped with the imperial eagle and the recruits assembled their own equipment not from a costume hire that wouldve been too easy. Old relics were unearthed ragmen looted the flea market raided for red trousers: in less than two weeks the battalion was fully outfitted. Everything was period-accurate down to the Chassepot rifles of Gravelotte. Even the weapons were authentic. Not a single gaiter button was missing. As the evening began rifle butts rattled the doors. The police No reinforcements. The Montparnasse reservists arrived soaked to the bone having marched across Paris in fours bayonets fixed greeted along the way by bewildered officers. We drank we sang we roared. Then we set off on patrol brimming with spirit and the honest folk returning from the cinema were startled to see soldiers appearing on corners and aiming at them: Halt! Who goes there Some caught on others stammered in fright: Whats happening What You didnt know War has been declared. There are some things though one shouldnt joke about. When our martial energy waned we all poured into the Lapin Agile and started singing Le Père la Victoire in chorus. It wasnt period-accurate but never mind. At dawn as the sky began to pale we gathered on rue Lepic officers drew their sabres the bugle sounded the charge and we launched an assault o Albin Michel hardcover
