‎Oscar LAZAR‎

‎Université de Genève‎

‎1941. Fine. 1941 24.50 x 33 cm relié Collection assembled by the artist of 82 lithographs created between 1939 and 1940 after his drawings. All are portraits of the teaching staff of the University of Geneva in black or lithographic crayon and bear as caption the name of the model and the author's signature as well as a date. We may distinguish the portrait of Jean Piaget which was widely used as an image of the psychologist. The paper usually employed is that used for drawing and the qualities of the lithography suggest that these are original drawings; it is thought that the author possessed his own press and made his lithographs. Contemporary full marbled citron sheep binding. Smooth spine silver title. On the cover in silver letters: Université de Genève with the arms below and at bottom right: Oscar Lazar 1941. Rubbing and some surface wear. The artist would have his collections of original drawings similarly bound this binding serving as a personalized binding for Lazar's works. Inscription: Dédié à Monsieur Albert Lagier. Chêne-Bougerie le 20.IV. 1942. Lazar. ""Dedicated to Monsieur Albert Lagier. Chêne-Bougerie 20.IV. 1942. Lazar."" Albert Lagier was then rector of the Academy of Geneva. Draughtsman and portraitist of Hungarian origin Oscar Lazar settled in Geneva in 1924. He published several works on Genevan Swiss and international personalities after his drawings Rotary Saint-Moritz Zurich League of Nations. The Geneva library possesses original drawings. unknown‎

Webber p. 102: "This exact and authoritative catalogue of the Library collected by Sir William Osler largely arranged and annotated prior to his death was bequeathed by him to McGill University… Although Osler worked steadily for years on this catalogue he was unable to complete it and after his death the task was carried on and the entire work edited by W. W. Francis Librarian of the Osler Library; R. H. Hill of the Bodleian Library… and Archibald Mallock Librarian of the New York Academy of Medicine… Not the least valuable section is the copious index which is a guide to the vast number of bibliographical notes descriptive of the 7778 titles that are included."
