An excellent copy of the édition de tête of Mr. Knife, Miss Fork with Max Ernst's frottage photograms.From the edition limited to 255 stamp-numbered copies, with this one of 50 large paper édition de tête copies on Hollande signed by Crevel on the half-title in blue ink and by Ernst on the frontispiece photogram in black and with the binding hand coloured by Ernst.The English translation of of the first chapter of René Crevel's 'Babylone', 'Monsieur Couteau, Mademoiselle Fourchette', first published by Editions Simon Kra in 1927.'Although it is usually said that Ernst collaborated with Man Ray to make 'photograms' of his frottages, it is more accurate to call them 'cliché-verres' ... Ernst's rubbings (from the embossed patterns on greetings cards, postcards, bookcovers, etc.) were done on very thin, translucent pieces of paper, which were then used as photographic negatives to make the prints. The white-on-black images do a fine job of representing the dark visions of death and desire that come to the girl in Crevel's story ... '.
