Comments: "Petits Nus Rossard (Les Amours de Cassandre)" was a book/portfolio which consisted of 18 etchings in total. A small separate printing of the set of eight vignettes were later published in this separate portfolio. Les Amours de Cassandre was a work by Cassandra Salivate (1530 - 1607) written in the time of the French King Francis I. Ronsard , evidently, was in love with a woman of a superior social rank. Unfortunately he was a tonsured monk and the lady later married another. In his writings she became a muse and the subject of admiration and Platonic love.
Provided with the portfolio is a certificate signed by Jean-Christophe Argillet dated 2nd May 2014. In this he states that these etchings were published by his father and are signed by Salvador Dali.
