Saint-Saëns') and dated, 6 January 1865, of the song 'Clair de Lune', printer's markings manuscript, 3 pages, 4to , on a bifolium (heavy browning to upper and lower margins of first and blank last page; spotting); in a 20th-century black calf slip case. An atmospheric setting of a lyric by Catulle Mendès, evoking the poet in a dream-forest caught between the weak light of the moon and the 'frèle image' of the lost loved one.
