Description:
Presentation copy to Rene Magritte. First edition. 187x120mm. pp. [9], 10-89, [7]. Inscribed on the half-title "Au grand peintre René Magritte, ce petit livre illustré de curieuses gravures "rosicruciennes", Serge Hutin. le 7 juin 1957".
Original illustrated wrappers, corners slightly bumped and edges a little creased but otherwise in very good condition throughout. With six illustrated plates all taken from Rosicrucian texts in the British Museum. Text in French. Serge Hutin was one of the most prolific twentieth century writers on the occult known especially for his work on UFOs. This excellent copy of his short work on Rosicrucianism is lent additional esoteric, surrealist heft by its having been presented to Magritte.
