Title: Chez Victor Hugo. Par un passant. Avec 12 eaux-fortes par M. Maxime Lalanne.
Description: Paris, Cadart et Luquet, 1864. Sewn. (4), 68 p. 1st edition/ édition originale. Spine damaged. Foxing. Copy with handwritten dedication by Paul Demeny on the first flyleaf: 'Mon cher Van Duyl,/ Acceptez ce joli livre;/ vous y vivrez quelques/ instants à Guernsey,/ dans la maison du/ poète que vous aimez/ tant./ Paris, 12 Octobre 1881/ votre ami/ Paul Demeny'. Although Paul Demeny (1844-1918) has been completely forgotten as a poet, he will always be remembered as the person to whom Rimbaud gave his Cahier de Douai, a handwritten cahier with 22 poems, in the autumn of 1870, and of course as the addressee of the Lettre du Voyant of May 15, 1871! The recipient of the book about Victor Hugo was George Fredrik van Duijl (1856-1907), a businessman from Amsterdam, an admirer and connoisseur of the work of Hugo, member of the Amsterdam literary society Flanor and, moreover, a man who corresponded with Tolstoy!
