Paris 14 juillet1888 13.50 x 21 cm trois feuillets Autograph song in octosyllables dated and signed by Maurice Mac-Nab entitled ""Le banquet des maires"" 58 lines in black ink on three leaves. Maurice Mac-Nab poet and hydropath songwriter he wrote a thesis on hangovers performed notably at the famous Montmartre cabaret Chat Noir where he recited ""advertising songs"". ""Le banquet des maires"" Enfant gâté de mon canton Depuis quartorze ans je suis maire Bien que je me flatte dit-on D'être un peu réactionnaire Un beau matin monsieur Floquet Me dépêche une circulaire : Il me convie au grand banquet Que nous offre le Ministère bis ""Je t'en prie Hector n'y va pas Me disait en pleurant ma femme Ils ont inventé ce repas Pour se faire de la réclame ! "" Mais je lui répondis : ""Tais-toi Joséphine c'est mon affaire. Je ne suis pas fâché ma foi De voir de près ce Ministère ! bis Je pars la veille du grand jour Suivi de toute la fanfare Les pompiers viennent à leur tour M'accompagner jusqu'à la gare. Mille gamins poussent des cris : Faut il que je sois populaire ! La voyage est à moitié prix : Un bon point pour le Ministère ! bis Nous étions quatre mille et plus Entassés dans la grande salle. Un vrai festin de Lucullus ! A sa place chacun s'installa Un grand laquais d'un air narquois Sans cesse me remplit mon verre : C'est du Bordeaux de premier choix Ne blaguons plus le Ministère ! bis ""Monsieur murmure près de moi Un maire habitant les montagnes Vraiment je ne sais pas pourquoi Ca va si mal dans nos campagnes ! . Oui m'écriai-je tout à coup ""En soupirant je lui réponds : phrase barrée ""Chez nous non plus ça ne va guère ! En attendant je bois un coup A la santé du Ministère ! bis On n'entendait plus plus d'autre bruit Que le craquement des mâchoires. Floquet n'avait pas d'appétit Mais il calculait ses victoires ! Nous sommes joliment traités On nous prend par la bonne chère. Passez moi les petits pâtés Vive à jamais le Ministère ! bis Neuf heures ! Il faut s'en aller Tant pis car la cuisine est bonne. Je sens mes jambes flageoler A mes voisins je me cramponne. Cahin caha chacun portait Trébuchant et roulant par terre : Braves gens mumurait Floquet. Ils soutiendront le Ministère ! bis. Maurice Mac-Nab. Au dos du troisième feuillet Maurice Mac-Nab a inscrit la date du 14 juillet 1888 ""Le banquet des maires"" Spoiled child of my canton For fourteen years I have been mayor Although I flatter myself they say Of being somewhat reactionary One fine morning Monsieur Floquet Sends me a circular: He invites me to the grand banquet That the Ministry offers us repeat ""I beg you Hector don't go there My wife said to me weeping They invented this meal To advertise themselves!"" But I replied: ""Be quiet Josephine it's my business. I'm not displeased my word To see this Ministry up close! repeat I leave the day before the great day Followed by the entire brass band The firemen come in their turn To accompany me to the station. A thousand children shout: How popular I must be! The journey is half price: A good point for the Ministry! repeat We were four thousand and more Crammed into the great hall. A true feast of Lucullus! Everyone settled in their place A tall lackey with a mocking air Constantly refills my glass: It's first-choice Bordeaux Let's not mock the Ministry anymore! repeat ""Sir murmurs near me A mayor living in the mountains Truly I don't know why Things are going so badly in our countryside!. Yes I cried out suddenly ""Sighing I reply to him: crossed-out sentence ""At our place it's not going well either! Meanwhile I'll drink a toast To the health of the Ministry! repeat No other sound could be heard Than the cracking of jaws. Floquet had no appetite But he was calculating his victories! We are nicely treated They win us over with good food. Pass me the little pâtés Long live the Ministry forever! repeat Nine o'clock! We must leave S. n. unknown

Lettre autographe datée et signée à propos de l'Enfant et les Sortilèges et les Mélodies grecques
Montfort l'Amaury 1926. Fine. ""Pas le temps de bien entendre les mélodies grecques qu'il interprétera aussi bien sans mes indications d'ailleurs"" ""No time to properly hear the Greek melodies which he will interpret just as well without my indications anyway"" Montfort l'Amaury 9 novembre 1926 13.50 x 10.40 cm une page Autograph letter dated and signed by Maurice Ravel 2 pages on a cardboard note with letterhead bearing his monogram and his address ""Le Belvédère Montfort l'Amaury S.& O."" The composer preparing to leave for Switzerland puts his affairs in order and addresses various directives to his correspondent. The year 1926 had seen the birth in Paris of l'Enfant et les Sortilèges his celebrated lyrical fantasy on a text by Colette. Ravel receives ""une lettre de Bochie"" ""a letter from Bochie"" - patriotism never being far away! - and recommends one of the airs from his work: ""Je sais qu'on m'y demande des mélodies pour une Koloratur soprano l'air du Feu s'impose"" ""I know that they are asking me for melodies for a Koloratur soprano the Fire's aria is essential"" . ""S'il y faut de la dédicace on la remettra à mon retour"" ""If a dedication is needed it will be done upon my return"". He peppers his note with some humorous touches: ""2 reçus que j'ai oublié de laisser hier au bureau car je n'y étais pas passé uniquement pour l'apéro"" ""2 receipts that I forgot to leave yesterday at the office since I hadn't gone there solely for the aperitif""; ""une lettre du Courrier Musical : s'il n'y avaient pas ajouté un timbre je ne vous aurais même pas prié de leur répondre"" ""a letter from Courrier Musical: if they hadn't added a stamp I wouldn't even have asked you to reply to them"". His final lines are about the tenor Warnery who performed the Clock and the Cat at the creation of l'Enfant et les Sortilèges in Monte-Carlo a year earlier: ""Je crois que Warnery vient en novembre au bureau et vous prierai de lui demander à lui aussi s'il est utile que j'envoie les directeurs de Genève. Priez-le de m'excuser c'est effrayant ce que j'ai à faire avant mon départ. Pas le temps de bien entendre les mélodies grecques qu'il interprétera aussi bien sans mes indications d'ailleurs"" ""I believe that Warnery is coming to the office in November and I will ask you to ask him too whether it is useful for me to send to the directors in Geneva. Please ask him to excuse me it's frightening what I have to do before my departure. No time to properly hear the Greek melodies which he will interpret just as well without my indications anyway"". Charming and aesthetic letter from the composer featuring important compositions for voice and orchestra. unknown

Superb letter from Ravel with contrasted and incisive handwriting in which he hastily postpones a concert appointment. ""Chère Madame Mille excuses pour le malentendu qui est de ma faute sans doute. Je ne me souvenais pas du tout que vous n'étiez pas libre ce soir. Si vous l'êtes demain samedi j'en serais heureux. J'ai couru à Châtelet et suis parvenu à faire changer le jour pour mes places. Voulez-vous avoir l'amabilité de me prévenir soit par un télégramme soit par un message téléphonique. Les pneumatiques ne parviennent pas à Levallois. Une fois de plus pardonnez-moi et à demain soir j'espère. Respectueuses amitiés de votre dévoué"" Dear Madam A thousand apologies for the misunderstanding which is undoubtedly my fault. I did not remember at all that you were not free this evening. If you are free tomorrow Saturday I would be delighted. I ran to Châtelet and managed to have the day changed for my seats. Would you be so kind as to let me know either by telegram or by telephone message. Pneumatic messages do not reach Levallois. Once more forgive me and until tomorrow evening I hope. Respectful regards from your devoted unknown

"Corinne"" - Lithographie originale sur Japon - L'Estampe Moderne
Paris: Imprimerie Champenoispour CH. MassonH. Piazza 1897. Fine. Imprimerie Champenois pour CH. Masson H. Piazza Paris Mai 1897 33 x 23 cm une feuille Rare original color lithograph executed by Maurice Réalier-Dumas for L'Estampe Moderne series number 1 published in May 1897. One of 50 deluxe proofs printed on Japan paper with wide margins artist's signature and date in the plate publisher's dry stamp representing a child's profile in the lower margin numbered stamp of the deluxe printing on the verso. Magnificent French monthly publication edited between May 1897 and April 1899 L'Estampe moderne consists of previously unpublished chromolithographs which unlike other magazines such as Les Maîtres de l'Affiche and as stipulated on the tissue guards were created specially by each artist for the magazine. Thus 100 prints appeared in total covering the major artistic movements of the late 19th century: Symbolism Art Nouveau Pre-Raphaelites Orientalists and Belle Epoque. Each delivery of four prints was issued in 2000 copies sold for 3.50F and 100 on Japan paper offered at 10F. Henri Piazza also planned a confidential deluxe printing: 50 copies on Japan paper with wide margins and 50 in black on China paper at the considerable price of 30F. This print of handsome format is superbly printed in colors on the most prestigious of papers: Japan paper. Thick silky satined and pearlescent it contributes to making each page a complete work in itself. Its quality of ink absorption and its affinity with colors also make it the ideal support for these very beautiful lithographs. The interest of French collectors in artistic posters grew at the beginning of the 1890s. Octave Uzanne to qualify this fever invented the term ""affichomanie."" The poster originally popular and pasted on the streets of the capital then became an art object and its ephemeral medium became precious and destined for preservation. Piazza decided to remove the poster from its advertising vocation and elevate it to the rank of a complete work of art on the same level as the deluxe illustrated book. He thus composed a prestigious collection of entirely original works by the most prominent European artists of the moment: Georges de Feure Eugène Grasset Henri Detouche Emile Berchmans Louis Rhead Gaston de Latenay Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer Gustave-Max Stevens Charles Doudelet Hans Christiansen Henri Fantin-Latour Steinlen Ibels Engels Willette Henri Meunier Evenepoël Bellery-Desfontaines Charles Léandre etc. Handsome copy in the artist's Art Nouveau style.

Piazza Paris Mai 1897 33 x 23 cm une feuille Rare original lithograph executed by Maurice Réalier-Dumas for L'Estampe Moderne series number 1 published in May 1897. One of 50 deluxe proofs printed on China paper with wide margins artist's signature in the plate publisher's dry stamp representing a child's profile in the lower margin mounted on a sheet of laid paper with the numbered stamp of the deluxe printing on the verso some foxing. Magnificent French monthly publication edited between May 1897 and April 1899 L'Estampe moderne consists of previously unpublished chromolithographs which unlike other magazines such as Les Maîtres de l'Affiche and as stipulated on the tissue guards were created specially by each artist for the magazine. Thus 100 prints appeared in total covering the major artistic movements of the late 19th century: Symbolism Art Nouveau Pre-Raphaelites Orientalists and Belle Epoque. Each delivery of four prints was issued in 2000 copies sold for 3.50F and 100 on Japan paper offered at 10F. Henri Piazza also planned a confidential deluxe printing: 50 copies on Japan paper with wide margins and 50 in black on China paper at the considerable price of 30F. This print of handsome format is superbly printed on one of the most prestigious papers: China paper. ""Despite all its qualities China paper too insubstantial owes its reputation not to its own beauty but rather to its particular affinities with printing ink. Its texture smooth and soft together is more apt than any other to receive a beautiful printing. This property makes China paper sought after for printing engravings."" Anatole France. The interest of French collectors in artistic posters grew at the beginning of the 1890s. Octave Uzanne to qualify this fever invented the term ""affichomanie."" The poster originally popular and pasted on the streets of the capital then became an art object and its ephemeral medium became precious and destined for preservation. Piazza decided to remove the poster from its advertising vocation and elevate it to the rank of a complete work of art on the same level as the deluxe illustrated book. He thus composed a prestigious collection of entirely original works by the most prominent European artists of the moment: Georges de Feure Eugène Grasset Henri Detouche Emile Berchmans Louis Rhead Gaston de Latenay Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer Gustave-Max Stevens Charles Doudelet Hans Christiansen Henri Fantin-Latour Steinlen Ibels Engels Willette Henri Meunier Evenepoël Bellery-Desfontaines Charles Léandre etc. Handsome copy in the artist's Art Nouveau style.
