Alcools - Manuscript of History


Original Reproduction

Hand numbered from 1 to 1,000


Paris, April 1913

When Alcools was published by the Mercure de France, with a frontispiece by Picasso, no-one could have predicted that it would become one of the most admired collections of French poetry of the twentieth century.


Apollinaire selected his texts from more than 250 poems, which he composed between 1898 and 1913.



Alcools, the manuscript

Whether for prose or verse, Guillaume Apollinaire always scribbled, took notes, often inspired by love or by travel.  



The manuscripts and the corrected proofs

This edition is composed of manuscripts assembled around a set of corrected proofs. Together, the pages offer a total immersion into the genealogy of his writing, into the lively chaos and the heterogeneity of Apollinaire.








Alcools, published in 1913 by Mercure de France, is the result of fifteen years of work and growth. Apollinaire carefully selected these texts from a pool of about 250 poems written between 1898 and 1913.


This edition shows Apollinaire correcting his work up until the last minute, changing the title (initially Eau-de-Vie) and the order, adding "Zone" and "Chantre" and deleting his punctuation. 








In 1913,  Apollinaire was already well known. He had been published in literary reviews, participated in conferences, and worked as an art critic. He had also published Onze Mille Verges (1907) and L’Hérésiarque & Cie (1910).
