Description
Contains addresses in Paris and Moscow, with different notes. Also contains small sketches and drawings on pages: 2, 11, 25, 37, 38, 100, 106, 118, 119, 172 and 173. The most interesting are two figures on page 118 and 119, with a caption 'Promethee porte flambeau' ('Prometheus holds a torch'). Most likely, it is an early sketch for 'Prometheus Strangling Vulture', but without any vulture, a more classical topic of Prometheus bearing a torch. There are also three loose notes inserted (numbered according to the in-between pages).
