Autographs – Paul Valery – League of Nations The Palace of the League of Nations by Louis Cheronnet Paris: L’Illustration 1938. Folio. 72 pages. First edition. An illustrated book on the Palace of the League of Nations in Geneva. Sections of the large beaux art building were designed by many different architects emblematic of the good and bad points of the League itself. Included are several proposed designs which were not used. Illustrated in colour and black and white. This was a souvenir presentation to Miss K J Stafford who served the League of Nations from 1919-1939 and inside the front cover is tipped in six folio leaves bearing a considerable number of signatures of the League’s Secretariat. Included is an autograph sentiment by the French writer and philosopher Paul Valery who was a French Representative at the League. This volume thus provides a unique compilation of signatures of the people who were operating the League at its very end. Formed in 1919 as an attempt to ensure that the world never again fell into a World War the League became defunct in December 1939 after the activities of Hitler and Mussolini rendered its high ideals totally irrelevant. Its failure however led to the eventual establishment of the United Nations.
