s. l.: S. n. 1908. Fine. S. n. s. l. 28 juin 1908 31 x 19.50 cm une page Autograph letter signed by the dandy count 40 lines written in black ink on tracing paper addressed probably to his friend and bibliographer the critic Henri Lapauze. ""Neuilly Dear friend the impossibilities that deprived me of your twice precious presence have also deprived you of a moment which I dare believe was one of those that would have moved you. And no doubt all the more I do not say! in revealing to you you sense it well. but in making you better know a character of sentiment curiously associated with the character of verve that you received the other day. If you judge it appropriate and can do so without difficulty would you publish in full the enclosed note having it preceded by a few lines that your good grace and good taste will inspire you I did not think that mention would be made of this intimate ceremony. But since it was not so it pleases me that the names be known to the attendees that I wanted for it. Your friend RMontesquiou."" Creases inherent to folding for mailing. S. n. unknown

Lettre autographe signée adressée à Henri Lapauze évoquant leurs amitiés et inimitiés dans le monde des lettres et des arts : "". Si je n'ai pas lu votre critique de mon livre en revanche j'ai pris connaissance de celle que vous avez consacrée à l'aimable jeune homme qu'il s'agissait de punir pour avoir dit trois fois ; au cours d'un dîner : Marie Murat. peut-être aurait-il suffi de lui donner à copier septante fois sept fois.

Artagnan: S. n. 1908. Fine. S. n. Artagnan 1908 20.50 x 26.50 cm 7 feuillets recto Autograph letter signed by the dandy count 68 lines written in black ink on seven folios recto probably addressed to his friend and bibliographer the critic Henri Lapauze: ""Artagnan My dear friend the interesting review which I would very much like to know. has escaped me. Can you send it to me; or at least a date indication that would allow me to find it As for what you write to me about my ""social successes"" you don't think the first word of it fortunately for us! - otherwise you would start by ""not speaking to me"" as Favre used to say; and you would be quite right. Well! in all things one must consider not only the end but the true and the false the good and the bad the authentic and the counterfeit as I believed I could write even about snobbery! When it comes to letters - even more so to ladies of letters on no point does this difference stand out with such clarity. - who knows this better than you No once again we must not and this is very important let the mockeries of what we know how to do prevent us from manifesting ourselves. That would play too well into the hands of the monkeys who already have enough coconut trees as it is. For this reason I believed I should offer the noble Engadin larches the favor of hearing me. And their murmur did not reproach me for it. I am going to write to a certain Lady of letters in the good sense of the term to speak to her about her beautiful book. Your friend and hers Robert de M. Sept 08. Via Vic-Bigorre Hts Pyr. P.S.: urgent Only you can affirm to me with sufficient guarantee that Liem is still alive as I believe and wish to affirm in an article which being in press requires the information without delay. When you are reconciled with an etcher whom you do not like I will offer you for an engraving exhibition a portrait of me by him which at least you will love. If I have not read your critique of my book on the other hand I have taken note of the one you devoted to the amiable young man whom it was necessary to punish for having said three times during a dinner: Marie Murat. perhaps it would have been enough to make him copy seventy times seven times. In any case you will have been harsh. The crime deserved it. Perhaps also one day you will speak ill of me although that seems unlikely to me. But what I can affirm is that. it will not be for that! ."" Fold marks inherent to envelope mailing. S. n. unknown

Lettre autographe signée adressée à un critique littéraire à qui il reproche de ne pas vouloir évoquer son dernier livre par trop réactionnaire et aristocratique : "" L'aristocratie ce n'est tout de même pas madame Moore madame Porgès et Mam ""zell"" Gutman ; pas plus que la littérature n'est Mam ""zell"" Vacaresco et Monsieur de Pomairols. A un borgne bien intentionné qui me disait : ""vous attaquez le monde ! "". j'ai répondu : ""Pardon ! je range le salon de ma grand-mère""
s. l.: S. n. 1911. Fine. S. n. s. l. 1911 27 x 21 cm 6 feuillets recto Signed autograph letter from the dandy count 68 lines written in black ink on six recto leaves probably addressed to his friend and bibliographer the critic Henri Lapauze to whom he almost orders him to review his latest work in one of his upcoming chronicles. The proud Robert de Montesquiou also evokes with complete immodesty his intellectual height and depth qualities cruelly lacking in some of his contemporaries: ""Cher ami avec plaisir je consens à faire partie de votre comité avec d'autant plus de plaisir que sans le vouloir ou peut-être intentionnellement je préfère le croire vous donnez raison à mon dernier livre. Voir page 143 : ""nulle ne serait mieux qualifiée pour ce titre de Présidente. On n'en saurait trouver de plus affable"". Oui cher ami j'en profite pour vous le redire sans plaisanterie - aussi bien que sans amertume vous vous êtes trop de fois montré efficacement sympathique pour que j'en perde si vite ni même jamais le souvenir. - vraiment je ne suis pas du tout de votre avis sur l'impossibilité de parler de mon dernier livre dans votre chronique. Je suis même de l'avis entièrement contraire. D'abord je ne voudrais pas si j'étais critique littéraire qu'il fût dit un jour qu'un tel livre a paru vous savez que je ne suis pas modeste sans que j'en ai fait mention d'une manière ou de l'autre. En outre c'est trop lui donner raison que d'en agir ainsi. Vous voyez que si je suis modeste je ne suis pas moins juste. Oui à votre place j'aurais fait la part de l'auteur et celle du lecteur même récalcitrant comme l'ont fait Robin dans le Herald et Glaser dans le Figaro comme l'ont fait et le feront d'autres. - Quant au bel article de Lucien Daudet dans le Gil Blas je pense que vous l'avez lu. Des personnes d'esprit et d'art comme vous deux ne peuvent se méprendre sur le côté réactionnaire et aristocratique d'un tel écrit dans la bonne acception de ces deux qualificatifs. L'aristocratie ce n'est tout de même pas madame Moore madame Porgès et Mam ""zell"" Gutman ; pas plus que la littérature n'est Mam ""zell"" Vacaresco et Monsieur de Pomairols. A un borgne bien intentionné qui me disait : ""vous attaquez le monde ! "". j'ai répondu : ""Pardon ! je range le salon de ma grand-mère"" Aussi quand je lis dans quelque de vos jolis commentaires trop incertains à certains à propos de je ne sais quel plus ou moins vague bouquin que ""l'auteur"" manie supérieurement l'ironie je m'écris furieusement : ""Eh bien ! et moi ! ."" Alors pour me dédommager et un peu me venger je relis votre carte du 10 octobre : ""Envoyez moi tout de suite cher ami votre insupportable héroïne"". Henry et moi nous voulons la connaître l'aimer la faire aimer. A quoi pensez vous de nous mettre ""l'eau à la bouche pour retirer ensuite ce fruit. que nous espérons défendu."" De ce moment-là je me sens mieux. Et pour vous le prouvre cher ami et que je suis sincère je vous annonce mon intention de publier à l'occasion de votre exposition un nouvel essai sur Ingres lequel vous sera dédié si tel est votre bon plaisir comme il est le mien. Si vous connaissez un coin de revue qui s'accommode de ça faites-le moi savoir et recevez mes amitiés bien dessinées. Robert de Montesquiou Janv. 911."" ""Dear friend with pleasure I consent to be part of your committee with all the more pleasure since without wanting to or perhaps intentionally I prefer to believe so you vindicate my latest book. See page 143: 'none would be better qualified for this title of President. One could not find a more affable one.' Yes dear friend I take this opportunity to tell you again without jest - as well as without bitterness you have shown yourself efficiently sympathetic too many times for me to lose the memory of it so quickly or even ever. - truly I am not at all of your opinion on the impossibility of speaking about my latest book in your chronicle.

Quelques lignes un alinéa en première page rappelant à vos lecteurs son apparition avec un bout de commentaire que vous tracerez je le sais obligeamment et savamment seront pour dédommager et peut-être récompenser le poète qui s'entête à chanter en ces époques troublée. Un compte-rendu de M.

""14 avenue Bosquet Dear sir and friend I have the pleasure of sending you my book which I hope you will like enough to grant it the gracious favor I ask of you. A few lines a paragraph on the first page reminding your readers of its appearance with a bit of commentary that you will write I know obligingly and learnedly will compensate and perhaps reward the poet who persists in singing in these troubled times. A review by M. Perret has been promised to me but it will come in its time which politics may delay; and your benevolent and incisive reminder would act at this hour most elegantly and eloquently on travelers upon arrival and on Parisians departing.

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 printing of very high luxury: 50 copies on Japan paper with wide margins and 50 in black on China paper at the considerable price of 30F. This print of beautiful format is superbly printed on one of the most prestigious papers: China paper. ""Despite all its qualities China paper too inconsistent owes its reputation not to its own beauty but indeed to its particular affinities with printing ink. Its texture smooth and soft at once 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 amplified at the beginning of the 1890s. Octave Uzanne to qualify this fever invented the term ""poster mania"". The poster originally popular and posted in 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 illustrated deluxe 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. Fine example in the style of the Deutscher Werkbund the equivalent of Art Nouveau in Germany.

Les tragedies de Robert Garnier
à Paris: Par Jean Fuzy 1607. Fine. Par Jean Fuzy à Paris 1607 In-12 relié New collective edition rare of the author's eight plays after the first complete collective edition in 1585. Printed in italics. Contemporary full brown sheep binding. Decorated raised spine. Red morocco title label. Corners and headcaps skillfully restored by a professional. Foxing. Paper yellowed. Upper joint finely cracked. Good copy. Garnier 1545-1590 is undoubtedly the first great French tragedian. Most of his subjects are drawn from Antiquity but his last two plays are on one hand a Christian tragedy and on the other a tragedy inspired by Ariosto. Friend of the Pléiade poets who openly celebrated him the tragedies contain in their preliminary pieces poems by Ronsard and Belleau Baïf or even poetry signed by all three he was less appreciated by the court. His sense of tragedy is inherited from Seneca and Euripides where the tragic sense depends less on action than on sovereign speech. On the upper cover in gilt letters: ""Club des Arcades.""
