Condition: Poor
A manuscript repertoire of songs and monologues, containing numerous pieces of handwritten and sheet music with colorful borders, poetry, and monologs, along with several brightly colored original drawings.
This particular manuscript was written and illustrated by Gustave Le Gloanec, a Soldier at the 118th Line 8e Cie, originally started May 10, 1908.
There are 17 drawings of various figures and size, along with three extravagant border illustrations. Personal favorites would be one incredibly unique interpretation of Joan of Arc, a winged figure of the stars, and a topless performer brandishing a tambourine.
