Petersburg Press in association with Waddington Galleries. London, 1973. Edition B. A collection of poems by the French poet Jules Laforgue accompanied by twenty-two screenprints by British Pop artist Patrick Caulfield. Caulfield was a longtime admirer of Laforgue's poetry and when he was asked to make a set of screenprints for a book in the late 60s, he immediately knew he wanted to use her poems as inspiration. On the subject of creating the screenprints, Caulfield said "The images I produced are complementary images, not illustrations. Some of the connections are a bit tenuous, others are obvious. I
tried to image what Laforgue might have been looking at when he thought of the poems, knowing, of
course, that certain of the images are totally of another period to Laforgue's lifetime: poetic licence with poetic license". (p.9, 'Patrick Caulfield, The Poems of Jules Laforgue', Arts Council Collection, 1995). This book is limited to a total of 200 copies, the complete portfolio comprises of all twenty-two screenprints bound within the volume, and a separate suite of six prints on Neobond synthetic wove, each signed and numbered. Housed within the original grey leatherette slipcase
