Liberté, j'écris ton nom [Freedom, I write your name]
Imprimerie Union Édition pour le compte de Pierre Seghers | Paris 22 octobre1953 | 31 x 127 cm | one folding leaf
 

The rare first edition of this famous poem-object composed in the form of a booklet folded eight times, illustrated by Fernand Léger with the text of the poem “Liberté” by his friend Paul Éluard.
Colour pochoir by Albert Jon after an original design by Fernand Léger under the direction of Pierre Seghers, printed in 212 numbered copies, this one of 200 copies on Auvergne paper from the Richard de Bas paper mills.
This copy has been skilfully restored.
This is the handsomest edition of this poem, which initially appeared clandestinely in 1942 in Poésie et Vérité, which was translated into ten languages and dropped by aeroplane for the underground resistance, to sustain their hopes of victory. Léger made this poem-object in homage to Paul Éluard, who died in 1952.
The most famous printed version of this hymn to the Resistance.
