Notes handwritten in pen and with a pencil drawing front and back, by André Breton, circa 1940.
On the front, a drawing; on the back, some notes commenting on the monogram 1713, here read as a date, but which for Breton is above all the sign formed by his initials (AB). Diderot and Saunderson refer to blindness. The Unigenitus Papal Bull and the Peace of Utrecht are linked to a history considered as much in its religious as in its military aspect. Through the chance mediation of these signs, there is indeed a way of questioning one's destiny, of reading it between the lines of books and histories already written.

- 2 pages in-18. The first page in ink relates to 1713, the date of Diderot's birth, but more importantly, these numbers form the monogram of André Breton. An original black pencil drawing by Breton on the second page, entitled ‘La Cadière 4 ans’. [Sale Catalogue, 2003]
