COCTEAU JEAN: (1889-1963) French poet, playwright, novelist, artist, filmmaker and critic. A.L.S., Cocteau, one page, oblong 4to, n.p., n.d. (June 1916), to [Gaston de] Pawlowski, in French. Cocteau writes a brief, upbeat letter, in full, 'J'ai hate de vous voir - Plus de Coxyde. Si j'avais eu comoedia pour parade!' (Translation: 'I can't wait to see you - No more Koksijde. If I had had Comoedia for parade!'). Some very light, extremely minor age wear, VG Gaston de Pawlowski (1874-1933) French writer of the prophetic novel of science fiction Voyage to the Land of the Fourth Dimension (1911), first published in Comoedia, of which Pawlowski was editor-in-chief. Comoedia was a French literary and artistic journal founded in 1907 and to which Cocteau was a regular contributor. The monthly publication provides one of the most complete sources of cultural history in France just prior to World War I. From late December 1915 until late June 1916 Cocteau served with the Red Cross as an ambulance driver at the Belgian town of Koksijde, taking leave between 1st and 10th June (at which time the present letter was most likely penned).
