The Staircase of Flora. Alès, PAB, 1958. In-folio, in sheets, filled cover with a "window" cut on the first plate on which three red and three black threads cross forming a saltire. First edition decorated with 2 original engravings on celluloid by Pablo Picasso, the first one full page in two colors, the second one in black, signed in red pencil by the artist. The cover was designed by PAB and perfected by Picasso. Edition at 40 copies on auvergne "à la main", this one numbered 36/36 and signed by PAB. "The large two-color etching of the Escalier de Flore is the most surprising, well created from nothing, with almost nothing." (PAB). Copy enriched with an additional state of the first full-page etching.
