CÉLINE (Louis-Ferdinand). Voyage au bout de la nuit. Paris, Denoël, 1942. In-8, paperback. First edition with illustrations by Gen Paul. It includes 15 pen-and-ink compositions, 14 of which are reproduced full-page, and a vignette in red on the cover. Céline had quickly conceived the project of publishing an illustrated edition of Le Voyage, initially envisaging the collaboration of the painter Henri Mahé, before entrusting the task to Gen Paul. But this edition was delayed for a long time: announced prematurely in March 1935 as featuring lithographs by Gen Paul, it was not published until March 1942 with reproduced drawings. One of 200 copies on vellum. Creases to spine.
