Unpublished autograph manuscript of a short story by Gisèle Prassinos : it is decorated with five original drawings, two of them on glued paper and one gouache on the cover. An autograph manuscript in black and blue pencil entitled: "Message nº 2, confidential element for Fé Fé 8-8" is inserted in the notebook. The last four pages are filled with poems: The Madman and various essays, with deletions and additions: I lost my children when I passed through the woods [...] In the old currant bush [sic] Two white noses that weep [sic] Search in the quills for My familiar smell. A very precocious poet, Gisèle Prassinos was only 14 years old when her brother addressed the surrealist group his first attempts through Henri Parisot.

André Breton kept several of his autograph manuscripts.
