No. 18 OF 50 COPIES ON JAPON from a total edition of 100. 222 x 140 mm. 8 3/4 x 5 1/2". 58 2 pp. <br/> VERY PRETTY CRIMSON MOROCCO GILT BY CHARLES MEUNIER stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with border of gilt and decorative rules and frame of branches entwined with a leafy vine raised bands spine compartments with floral bouquet at center enclosed by leafy branches and dotted rules gilt lettering turn-ins with gilt floral roll marbled endpapers top edge gilt other edges untrimmed. Original pictorial wrappers bound in. Illustrated with aquarelles by Grivaz engraved by Arent on every page. This copy with AN ADDITIONAL SUITE ON JAPON printed in bistre. With an ALS from the author tipped in at front. For the artist see: Benezit VI p. 703. Spine a little darkened faint browning at edges of leaves as no doubt in all copies because of paper stock chosen but A FINE COPY--clean and fresh internally in a lustrous binding with few signs of wear.<br/> <br/> Beautifully bound and with delicate vignettes that mingle with the text this "histoirette bourgeoise" is the story of an adulterous love affair told in verse. When Denise's husband scorns his wife for another woman she follows suit and takes up a romance of her own. Told from the point of view of Denise's lover the poem relates how his initial feelings of admiration and desire turn into passion obsession and ultimately disappointment when Denise decides to return to her husband. Her final message to the narrator hints at the possibility of an "enfant de l'adultaire" saying that if she goes back to her spouse any child produced by their illicit union would at least have a proper place in a respected household. The etchings appearing here in two states are based on watercolors by Swiss artist Eugene Grivaz 1852-1915 whose light airy style adds a fine sense of romanticism to this work. Legendary among French binders of the late 19th and early 20th centuries for his energy and imagination Charles Meunier 1865-1940 was apprenticed to Gustave Bénard at the age of 11 worked for a time in the atelier of Marius Michel and then set up his own studio when he was 20. According to Duncan & De Bartha he drew "on both traditional and modern techniques and forms of decoration mixing classical punches . . . with newly fashionable incised and modelled leather panels." This eclectic approach did not lead to the kind of popularity enjoyed by some of our binder's most distinguished competitors and partly as a protest in recognition of this "Meunier declined to participate in the 1900 Exposition as he felt that the Grand Prix would automatically be awarded to Marius Michel which it was. He staged his own show at his studio on the Boulevard Malesherbes and received as much magazine coverage as the participants at the Exposition." Our author Aurelien Scholl 1833-1902 was a journalist and writer who never backed down from a duel. The New York Times called him "a typical French militant journalist. His love of dignity and scrupulosity regarding the most insignificant points of honor caused him to reach a point where he could wield the sword or pen with equal facility." Scholl was particularly well known for the combative articles he contributed to such papers as Le Figaro and L'Éclair but as a novelist poet and dramatist he preferred to focus on Parisian bourgeois life love and scandals. The present copy contains an undated ALS from Scholl to an unknown gentleman noting that copies of his "Denise" are completely sold out. Ed. Rouveyre et G. Bond unknown

With etched frontispiece portrait of the author and 13 illustrations by Paul Avril most half-page all in a second state before letters. Faint foxing to half title otherwise AN IMMACULATE COPY the binding gleaming and the text untouched.<br/> <br/> Handsomely printed and illustrated this libertine tale of seduction and deception in Louis XV's France was lavishly bound in the Rococo style by the master Flety describes as "the apostle of emblematic bookbinding." Legendary among French binders of the late 19th and early 20th centuries for his energy and imagination Charles Meunier 1865-1940 was apprenticed to Gustave Bénard at the age of 11 worked for a time in the atelier of Marius Michel and then set up his own studio when he was 20. According to Duncan & De Bartha he drew "on both traditional and modern techniques and forms of decoration mixing classical punches . . . with newly fashionable incised and modelled leather panels." He was especially adept at creating bindings that were not merely apt for the contents of the book but that embodied in their design the themes of the work. His Rococo pattern here is extravagant even for that over-the-top style the decoration as unrestrained as the amoral aristocrats whose exploits Denon exposes here. First printed anonymously in 1777 "No Tomorrow" is narrated by a callow youth who falls under the spell of Madame de T a brilliant manipulator who uses his infatuation with her to draw her husband's attention away from her long-term affair with a marquis. Her plan is so successful that she succeeds in enjoying a dalliance with our narrator convinces both her husband and her lover that she is faithful to them and keeps all three men on good terms with each other. At the end of his adventure our hero searches for a moral to the story but finds none. Like the anti-heroine of his work our author diplomat courtier and polymath Dominique Vivant Baron Denon 1747-1825 had the wit and the talent to thrive during a tumultuous period in France managing to stay in the good graces successively of Louis XV Louis XVI Robespierre and Napoleon. He had met the last of these rulers at the salon of future empress Josephine de Beauharnais and was invited by Napoleon to join the Egypt expeditionary force as an arts and culture observer. Earning the moniker "Napoleon's Eye" he made sketches of the remarkable monuments--sometimes while under enemy fire--as well as of the ports the cities the inhabitants and the art particularly ancient hieroglyphics. When the illustrated account of his journey was published Russell tells us that Denon became "the first to present to Europe a true and honest image of ancient Egypt" after being "the first European traveller to spend months exploring the desert and recording the monuments he found there." He was "the primary force behind revealing Egypt's civilisation to an astonished Europe." The graceful etchings in the present volume are by the celebrated illustrator Paul Avril 1849-1928 who studied art in various Paris salons including the École des Beaux Arts. According to Ray Avril "was a witty and ingenious artist" and a prolific one as well illustrating a number of bibliophile's editions as well as classics of erotica. His illustrations here bring to mind work of the Rococo artists Watteau Boucher and Fragonard. Our edition benefits from the addition of a second work containing notes on the life of the author by prominent man of letters Anatole France 1844-1924 who would win the 1921 Nobel Prize for literature "in recognition of his brilliant literary achievements characterized as they are by a nobility of style a profound human sympathy grace and a true Gallic temperament." The beauty of our item was clearly treasured and protected by previous owners as it is virtually unchanged from the day it left Meunier's workshop. P. Rouquette unknown

L'Ephémère des Artistes de La Vie Parisienne - le Numero de 23 Mars 1918 Art Deco-Art Nouveau Illustrations by Chéri Hérouard Georges Léonnec Suzanne Meunier Carlegle others uncredited.
Paris: La Vie Parisienne 1918. First Edition . Illustrated Wraps. Very Good. 13.75" x 10.5. Chéri Hérouard Georges Léonnec Suzanne Meunier Carlegle others uncredited. . Paris: La Vie Parisienne 1918. Illustrations - ephemera from an unassembled issue of March 23 1918 of La Vie Parisienne from its Golden Age by some of the forty or fifty great illustration artists who gained famed in large part for their work in that famed Society magazine. 8 pages remaining here from a partly stapled but not fully assembled original copy of the issue; one seam is even unopened. The included art is by Chéri Hérouard Georges Léonnec Suzanne Meunier Carlegle and others uncredited. Text in French. Illustrated wraps in the very large folio size 13.75" x 10.5" 8 glossy pages here of an original 19. As remaining ephemera these pages are in Very Good condition and more than suitable for framing or other applications; a touch of crinkle some tiny seam chips and short closed edge cuts none of which show up well in the scans which see. The two-page spreads - of a folio size publication - are too large to be completely included on even a large-format scanner but you will get the idea. The conceits of Art Nouveau and Art Deco evolving one to the other at the time as those could be manifested through depiction of the wonders of French women may never have been more stunning than they were through the remarkable sensibilities of the coterie of artists who regularly contributed to La Vie Parisienne. These pages are from an unassembled original - and of course first and only edition - example of that unique publication. As such extraordinarily hard to replace whether in full issues or as surviving frame-able ephemera as here. l-eph2 <br/> <br/> La Vie Parisienne paperback

LOT X 4 ORIGINAL Chautauqua NY Literary and Scientific Circle 1880's Yearly Reports; EARLY WOMEN'S RIGHTS INTEREST
New York: Chautauqua Press 1883. First Edition. Original wraps. Very Good. 3 1/4 X 5 Inches. "The most American thing in America." - President Theodore Roosevelt on Chautauquas<br /> <br /> Four early course offering and yearly updates from the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle of Chautauqua Lake New York. The original Chautauqua meetings were the brainchild of John Heyl Vincent a Methodist minister and Lewis Miller a businessman who imagined a place where women and men could come to exchange ideas and learn of cultural advancements around the world. Founded in 1878 these four early course offerings date from 1883 to 1889. The 1885 issue is accompanied by an original illustrated postcard from the organization. <br /> <br /> The Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle was an important step in the advancement of women in American society. Although only a baby step the courses offered and the idea behind the movement was in part to open up education to women especially rural women in America. With a correspondence learning platform Chautauqua's brought education into the home which we know is the domain of the woman. I believe the University of Phoenix and the TED Talks owe a royalty to the CLSC! NOTE: 2 of these have are unrepresented on OCLC and a population of only SIX of the other two - see notes on reverse. VERY SCARCE IN COMMERCE.<br /> <br /> Some light wear to spines and edges. Chautauqua Press unknown

THE ABRIDGEMENT OF THE GARDENERS DICTIONARY
London: Printed for the Author; And Sold by John and Francis Rivington et al 1771. Sixth Edition. 270 x 200 mm. 10 1/2 x 8". 464 leaves. <br/> Early half calf over marbled boards skillfully rebacked in the 19th century with sheep raised bands spine with blind-tooled flowers gilt lettering hinges neatly reinforced. With 13 total illustrations including the engraved frontispiece and 12 folding plates depicting plants and agricultural structures. Spine with faint remnants of labels in top and bottom panels occasional marginal notations in pencil in a neat 19th century hand. Henrey 1123; ESTC T59414. Light general wear to the binding but everything sound and agreeable externally. A few spots of no consequence internally with the text generally clean and pleasing and the plates quite fresh. A pleasing copy.<br/> <br/> This is an influential work by the author DNB calls "the most distinguished and influential British gardener of the eighteenth century." A contemporary of Linnaeus and Sir Hans Sloane Philip Miller 1691-1771 was a gardener horticulturalist and Fellow of the Royal Society. Following the immense success of his "Gardeners Dictionary" in 1732 Miller released an abridged version three years later. The abridgment proved to be as popular as the original version. Swedish naturalist Pehr Kalm wrote in 1753 that "I have asked several of the greatest and best horticulturists both in England and America what author and what book they had found and believed to be the best in horticulture. . . . They have all answered with one mouth that Miller’s 'Gardener’s Dictionary' either in folio or the abstract in 8vo. i.e. the abridgment was the best of all and that when one has it no other book is afterwards required." Our sixth edition "enlarged" from the version discussed by Kalm was the final edition published during Miller’s lifetime.
