Victor Pavie, poet and disciple of Victor Hugo, took over the family printshop in Angers. With David d’Angers and Sainte-Beuve, he saved Gaspard de la Nuit from oblivion by being the first to publish it. This article describes the vagaries of the project and the circumstances behind the poor sales. By including two unpublished letters by Eusèbe Pavie, son of Victor, it corrects some judgments concerning Stéphane Mallarmé’s proposal to republish the work and clarifies the cataloging of the different distributed and unsold copies.
