Paris: Shakespeare & Co.,/Adrienne Monnier,/J.-O. Fourcade,, 1926-1937. 6 small pamphlets. All preserved in excellent condition. This small ephemera collection includes three pamphlets (one 10-page, two 4-page) from 1929 advertising the first French translation of Joyce's Ulysses (published 1929 by Maison des Amis des Livres, translated by Auguste Morel and assisted by Stuart-Gilbert, reviewed by Valery Larbaud with the collaboration of Joyce himself), one of which bears a striking amateur photograph of Joyce. Also included is an 8-page pamphlet (published 1937) noting the proceedings of "Les Amis de Shakespeare and Company" in the year 1936, with a 2-page piece by Jean Schlumberger, and the following minutes (including a list of Les Amis) written by Adrienne Monnier. "A Catalogue of a Collection Containing Manuscript & Rare Editions of James Joyce, a Few Manuscript of Walt Whitman, and two Drawings by William Blake" is also included (16-pages, undated but post-1927), these all belonging to Sylvia Beach and offered for sale at Shakespeare and Company, representing the first major sale of Joyce material. The catalogue is illustrated with four black and white reproductions, one of a corrected Joyce proof, one Whitman manuscript, and two (superb) Blake drawings. The final piece is a 12-page catalogue for Sylvia Beach's Walt Whitman exhibition, held at Shakespeare and Company 20 April - 20 June 1926, which includes, laid in, an invitation card from Beach to the private Opening of the exhibition on 19th April.
