On y retrouve les discours et les toasts prononcés par Lemerre lui-même, par José-Maria de Heredia et d’autres. La plaquette est imprimée avec un grand soin, dans l’esprit de la maison Lemerre, reconnue pour ses éditions des poètes parnassiens et des auteurs de la Pléiade. Quelque temps plus tard, paraît le Banquet offert à M. Le 24 janvier 1902, des dizaines de poètes assistent à un banquet donné au Palais d’Orsay en l’honneur de l’éditeur Alphonse Lemerre, officier de la Légion d’honneur. Above all, the article will show how the Banquet highlights the ambivalence at the heart of Lemerre’s posture as an artistic, honest and paternal publisher of poets. The analysis of the discourse proffered by Lemerre in his speech, as well as that of his guests, will help us to understand his role as publisher, which, under pressure by the opposition of symbolic and material values, became more and more contradictory as the century wore on. In addition, it reproduces the speeches and toasts given by Lemerre and his guests José-Maria de Heredia, André Theuriet and other poets. The document is printed with great care in order to display the taste and the art of the publishing house of Lemerre, known for its editions of contemporary poets (above all, the Parnassians), as well as the poets of the Pléiade. Alphonse Lemerre is a document associated with an event which took place at the Palais d’Orsay on the 24 January 1902 in order to celebrate the promotion of the publisher Lemerre to the rank of Officier in the Légion d’honneur.
