Typically for a Ricci book, those editions now sell for excessive sums so we’re left to scour the web for his pictures. Considering their age and Surrealist connections its surprising that there isn’t a decent online collection anywhere. A number of prints can be found on those auction sites which blight the pictures they don’t own with watermarks. Better to look at the examples on this blog<\/a> or this page<\/a> at the Andr\u00e9 Breton site where the copies are small but include quotes from the Ricci volume.<\/p>\n Elsewhere on { feuilleton } Previously on { feuilleton } Le ca\u00efman (1849).
