V Shklovskij / V Sklovskij / Shklovskii / Viktor Borisovich Shklovsky (Russian: ??????? ?????????? ??????????; [Illustrated By T
Skazka O Tenyach / Tenjach
Moskva / Moscow Ussr: Ogiz "Molodaja Gvardija 1931. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Good. 12 Pp Including Covers. Illustrated Children's Book. Wear. Per Wikipedia It Appears That The Author Is The Distinguished Intellectual Polymath Viktor Borisovich Shklovsky Russian: 1893 - 1984 Known As A Russian And Soviet Literary Theorist Critic Writer And Pamphleteer. He Is One Of The Major Figures Associated With Russian Formalism. Shklovsky Himself Is Still Praised As "One Of The Most Important Literary And Cultural Theorists Of The Twentieth Century Modern Language Association Prize Committee; "One Of The Most Lively And Irreverent Minds Of The Last Century David Bellos; "One Of The Most Fascinating Figures Of Russian Cultural Life In The Twentieth Century". Shklovsky Was Born In St. Petersburg Russia. His Father Was A Lithuanian Jewish Mathematician With Ancestors From Shklov And His Mother Was Of German-Russian Origin. In 1916 He Founded Opoyaz Obshchestvo Izucheniya Poeticheskogo Yazyka-Society For The Study Of Poetic Language One Of The Two Groups With The Moscow Linguistic Circle That Developed The Critical Theories And Techniques Of Russian Formalism. Shklovsky Participated In The February Revolution Of 1917 But During The Civil War He Opposed Bolshevism Shklovsky Went Into Hiding Traveling In Russia And The Ukraine But Was Eventually Pardoned In 1919 Due To His Connections With Maxim Gorky And Decided To Abstain From Political Activity. His Two Brothers Were Executed By The Soviet Regime One In 1918 The Other In 1937 And His Sister Died From Hunger In St. Petersburg In 1919. Shklovsky Integrated Into Soviet Society And Even Took Part In The Russian Civil War Serving In The Red Army. In Berlin In 1923 He Published His Memoirs About The Period 1917-22 Under The Title A Sentimental Journey In The Same Year He Was Allowed To Return To The Soviet Union Not Least Because Of An Appeal To Soviet Authorities That He Included In The Last Pages Of His Epistolary Novel Zoo Or Letters Not About Love. In Addition To Literary Criticism And Biographies About Such Authors As Laurence Sterne Maxim Gorky Leo Tolstoy And Vladimir Mayakovsky He Wrote A Number Of Semi-Autobiographical Works Disguised As Fiction Which Also Served As Experiments In His Developing Theories Of Literature. Shklovsky Is Perhaps Best Known For Developing The Concept Of Ostranenie Or Defamiliarization Also Translated As "Estrangement" In Literature. Among Other Things Shklovsky Also Contributed The Plot/Story Distinction Syuzhet/Fabula Which Separates Out The Sequence Of Events The Work Relates The Story From The Sequence In Which Those Events Are Presented In The Work The Plot. Shklovsky's Work Pushes Russian Formalism Towards Understanding Literary Activity As Integral Parts Of Social Practice An Idea That Becomes Important In The Work Of Mikhail Bakhtin And Russian And Prague School Scholars Of Semiotics. Shklovsky's Thought Also Influenced Western Thinkers Partly Due To Tzvetan Todorov's Translations Of The Works Of Russian Formalists In The 1960S And 1970S Including Tzvetan Todorov Himself Gerard Genette And Hans Robert Jauss. Shklovsky Was One Of The Very Early Serious Writers On Film. A Collection Of His Essays And Articles On Film Was Published In 1923 Literature And Cinematography First English Edition 2008. He Was A Close Friend Of Director Sergei Eisenstein And Published An Extensive Critical Assessment Of His Life And Works Moscow 1976 No English Translation. Beginning In The 1920S And Well Into The 1970S Shklovsky Worked As A Screenwriter On Numerous Films. <br/> <br/> Ogiz "Molodaja Gvardija paperback

VA'AD HAKEHILA
1947 SIGNIFICANT ORIGINAL HEBREW MANUSCRIPT DIARY HAND WRITTEN BY A LOCAL COMMUNITY COUNCIL MEMBER DETAILING THE INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT AND VIOLENT MONTHS AND WEEKS IN JERUSALEM BEFORE THE NATION OF ISRAEL WAS REBORN
Jerusalem Israel British Mandated Palestine. Good. 1947. On offer is a unique historically significant journal handwritten during the final days of British Mandated Palestine most entries made immediately prior to the Declaration of Independence. This is a one-year page a day journal for the Jewish year of 5708 September 1947 to October 1948 has about 50 entries with most entries made between September 1947 and December 1947 and few brief records scattered over the next few months - the last one is dated June 7. It measures 7' by 5' the hardcover is slightly soiled but otherwise the journal is in very good condition. The text is in Hebrew the handwriting is mostly legible. Author's name is not identified but there is a note on the front page: "Vaad Hakehilla. Hanala Klalit" Local Community Council. General Management. It is clear from this note and from the context that the journal was kept by a member of the Hebrew Community Council in Jerusalem the body that was established in 1917 and coordinated and represented different groups of Jerusalem Jews during the British Mandate. Vaad Hakehila was responsible for different aspects of Jewish life in the city including economic and social assistance to the residents. It had a social services department and a society of assistance to kindergartens issues related to them are mentioned in the journal several times. Most entries are the minutes of the Council meetings. Some entries deal with organizational and financial matters taxes elections complaints dispute settlement work of social services purchase of fire engines but most meetings reflect increasingly tense situation in the city and concern food and fuel supply food rationing security and organizing Mishmar ha'am National Guard - unit of volunteers established in September 1947 in Jerusalem for maintenance of public order. The Council was constantly in contact with the state authorities political and religious leaders various Jewish organizations trying to solve various problems facing Jewish community in the city. Among the names mentioned in the journal are Yitzhak Ben-Zvi David-Zvi Pinkas a Zionist activist politician a signatory of the Declaration of independence and a future minister Mordechai Shatner a signatory of the Declaration activist and politician one of the founders of Yad Va-Shem who then was a member of the Jewish National Council Ben-Zion Meir Hai Uziel the Sephardi chief rabbi of Mandatory Palestine who appeared before the Mandatory government as representatives of the Jewish community and on missions on its behalf Itzhak HaLevi Herzog the first Chief Rabbi of Ireland and then the Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Mandatory Palestine and of Israel Menashe Elassar a noted Jerusalem businessman and many other. The first entry is dated September 15 and mentions a meeting with Mr. Ben-Zvi who had been the President and a member of the Vaad Haleumi the National Council a post in which he served as the chief representative of the Jewish community vis-a-vis the mandatory authorities. His name is mentioned several times throughout the journal in relation to various matters. A council meeting on September 17 dealt with several issues including social work and house confiscation order of the Babayoff family: "Military Commander refused a request to postpone confiscation order for the Babayoff's House till after the holidays
. Chief Rabbi Uziel was asked to speak with the commissioner about postponement of the confiscation order. Rabbi Herzog was also asked to speak with the Military Commander regarding the same matter". Many entries mention searches conducted by the British Army in Jewish neighbourhoods one of such searches on Yom Kippur Eve finished with desecration of a synagogue: "Search in Nachlat Zvi Jerusalem neighbourhood. After we received information regarding the desecration of the synagogue by the army during their search R' Nattan and I went to check if the information was correct. We reached the location after the search had finished and the army left the place. All the synagogue benches the tables chairs and pillows were upside down. All of the study books Mishnayot Zohar Gemaras were scattered on the floor. The holy ark was open and the Torah scrolls were open ." Some of the entries refer to property damage caused by bombings that the council members were assessing: "After the two nights that passed in Jerusalem Shabbat night and Motzei Shabbat when tens of thousands of bullets were shot towards the all the Jewish areas of the city I got up early . to visit the places that were the primary targets of the bullets of the police and soldiers. The primary target was again the homes near the police dormitory in the hospital of the English Mission. The view of the horrifying sight of the destruction caused to these homes and the miracle that nobody's life was taken . testimonies were collected from dozens of people."Nov. 16. One of the constant subjects was ensuring food and fuel supply in the city: "Meeting of the supply committee with bakery owners to ensure sufficient flour supply in case of emergency" ".To bring all wholesalers and demand from them to increase supplies in Jerusalem." they meet with members of the Jewish National Council JNC and devote many meetings to this matter. As part of their activity they meet with mukhtars heads of Arabic neighbourhoods. Va'ad had limited means to cope with the worsening situation and in December the Jerusalem Emergency Committee was set up that took upon itself civil administration of Jewish Jerusalem which explains why there are almost no entries after November. Though it includes only about 50 entries of varying length the journal provides a lot of details from the months preceding the Declaration of Independence and contains names of many people who played an important role in creation of the Israeli State. Overall it's a fascinating document of the life of Jewish community in Jerusalem during the last months of the British Mandate and activity of the Jewish Community Council in Jerusalem.; Manuscript; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF 20TH CENTURY 1940s POST-WW2 ERA MIDDLE EAST ISRAEL JERUSALEM JEWISH QUARTER CREATION OF ISRAEL JEWS OF JERUSALEM BRITISH MANDATE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE MANDATORY PALESTINE BATTLE OF JERUSALEM 1947 BOMBINGS IN JERUSALEM JEWISH SELF-GOVERNING BODIES IN MANDATORY PALESTINE MISHMAR HA'AM NATIONAL GUARD IN JERUSALEM LOCAL COMMUNITY COUNCIL IN JERUSALEM VA'AD HAKEHILA VAAD HAKEHILA JERUSALEM LOCAL AUTHORITIES LEADERS OF JEWISH COMMUNITY OLD CITY PARTITION BRITISH ARMY IN MANDATORY PALESTINE SOCIAL SERVICES DURING THE BRITISH MANDATE ISRAEL BEFORE INDEPENDENCE SELF-GOVERNMENT OF JEWS IN JERUSALEM JEWISH COOPERATION WITH BRITISH ADMINISTRATION IN PALESTINE YITZHAK BEN-ZVI DAVID-ZVI PINKAS MORDECHAI SHATNER END OF THE BRITISH MANDATE FOOD RATIONING IN JERUSALEM FOOD SUPPLY TO JERUSALEM ZIONISM ZIONIST ACTIVISTS JEWISH NATIONAL COUNCIL JNC VAAD HALEUMI 1947 JERUSALEM RIOTS JERUSALEM RELIGIOUS LEADERS HEBRAICA JEWISH HISTORY HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . hardcover

Vachell, Horace A
The Hill: a Romance of Friendship
New York: Dodd Mead & Company 1937. The Hill was first published in 1905. One of more than 50 novels written by its author it depicts the friendship between two boys who attend Harrow. Harrow School founded in 1572 is a highly prestigious boys boarding school in London still going strong today. 8vo size green cloth cover with navy blue titles on spine and navy blue titles and decorations on front cover. The cover appears to be an incomplete printing of the design that appeared on other books: Darker colored cloth books of the earlier 1900s dark blue or black had a illustration on the front cover of a hilly skyline with a tall building spire - which depicts the campus of Harrow School. This silhouette is made from the color of the clothbound book. The illustration on top of that is completed by two different colors on ink in green and white. In this book a later edition the cloth binding appears to be a shade of green represented by the color of the ink in the earlier version. You can see the very light embossing of the hillside and spire and you can see the void as the spire rises between the bands of navy blue ink that make up the design on front cover. These navy blue design elements are part of the sky background. Earlier editions would have used white ink to fill the voids between the navy blue ink and the embossed design of the hillside. It appears that there is a significant publishing error the the front cover design where an layer of white ink is missing. If one didn't know the design of earlier editions you might just take the cover for an abstract design. There is an embossed illustration on the spine of books on a shelf which also would have been filled in with green ink on the earlier edition and which is devoid of ink in this copy. The printing error has produced a unique cover. The book has 325 deckle edged pages with a unique toning or foxing that resembles a wood grain pattern please see our photos. This pattern appears throughout the book with varying degrees of darkness. Horace Vachell 1861 - 1955 was a prolific English author publishing novels 22 plays short stories essays and autobiographical works. Much of his writing features an idealized prosperous English way of life. Please see our photograph of the notation from a previous reader of this book - it is her recommendation. The book has a bumped and worn head and heel of spine sunned spine penciled name on fep which is creased at bottom corner note on half title page and some small white spots on front cover. Thanks for shopping with us. 100% of your purchase benefits charity and supports literacy and life-long learning. . Cloth. Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Dodd Mead & Company Hardcover

Paris: A. Lahure Imprimeur-Éditeur 1898. Paperback. Good. 4 172 6 p.: 24 leaves of tissue-guarded collotype plates many in-text drawings; 34 cm. Original brown paper covers with "Detaille" printed in black on the front cover. Colophon states: "Achevé d'imprimer le 30 Novembre 1897." Title page printed in red and black. A study of the work of French artist Edouard Detaille 1848-1912 who was the official painter of the battles of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871 and became famous for his paintings of soldiers military life and manoeuvres and uniforms. This type of c. 1900 French publisher's insubstantial binding was meant to be replaced when the purchaser took the book to a bookbinder. It was not made to last for over a century and this one shows the expected signs of wear most significantly the loss of most of the paper over the spine and the resulting separation of the sections of the book. The volume is complete however with all 24 leaves of plates. In Good Condition with the binding as described: cover is soiled; fore-edges of some leaves slightly soiled and in a few cases slightly chipped; otherwise clean and bright. A.

VAGNE
Imagerie Nouvelle n°82 : Jeu des Jockeys on peut jouer de 2 à 8 joueurs
Pont-à-Mousson: Vagné 1890. Fine. Vagné Pont-à-Mousson s. d. circa 1850 49 x 39 cm Image d'Épinal color lithograph large format printed on heavy paper. Small tears with lacks to margins not touching the plate otherwise fine condition colors very well preserved. These plates are cardboard constructions or models on which a pattern was printed. This pattern must be cut out then assembled to construct various objects or life scenes. The Épinal imagery published several series of cut-out models including the ""Grandes Constructions"" in 39 x 49 cm format the ""Moyennes Constructions"" and the ""Petites Constructions"". From 1880 to 1908 constructions were published featuring architecture costumes ships and various vehicles. During this same period paper theaters or ""théâtre chez soi"" also enjoyed great success. This toy model developed and endured until the Second World War. Once sold by peddlers the images d'Épinal owe their name to Jean-Charles Pellerin who was the first printer to publish this type of image in series and who lived in the town of Épinal Vosges. The subjects are very varied but generally revolve around religion history French Revolution battles military uniforms or drawn from successful novels. Épinal imagery has its origins in imagery a popular art born in the 15th century intended primarily for the illiterate rural public. Originally the image is engraved on a wooden plate and printing is carried out using a hand press. It is then colored by means of stencils. In the 19th century lead castings were made from the engraved wood: stereotypes which allowed production to be increased. In 1820 lithography was adopted which induced a radical change in style with finer drawings. In 1900 coloring was still done by stencil thanks to a machine that could color 300 images per hour the Aquatype. Vagné unknown

VAL GREENFIELD
1947 ORIGINAL POST WORLD WAR II MANUSCRIPT DIARY OF A CHARMING AND BRILLIANT BROOKLYN NEW YORK TEENAGE JEWISH GIRL
BROOKLYN NEW YORK NYC USA. Very Good. 1947. On offer is a charming original 1947 manuscript diary handwritten by Miss 'Val Greenfield Age 14-15' an active hardworking student sister and daughter who details her life and that of her brother Stuart and her parents in Brooklyn New York just after World War II. Val is a very dedicated diarist using her page-a-day diary daily save for a break from late April through late June and again the last week in August through the first week of September. Her life is a never ending carousel of work: at school she is an 'A' student rarely getting any marks below 90 in French Latin and a host of other subjects - at one point she receives what she feels is a terrible mark of 80 in a subject. At home she and her brother work helping the parents from washing floors cleaning the bathroom etc. Her slightly older brother who she obviously adores suffers physically and has Grand Mal seizures but together they study and even work shovelling snow for extra money. Endearingly they write out business contracts and pledges for working together or sharing. She writes of going shopping and buying sugar which is 'terribly scarce.' She also writes about school and her social life attending Dodgers games going to the movies etc. One night when she and mom go to a show they leave "the house lights as 10 gangsters escaped from Bklyn jail." She is a brilliant student with high marks all around: 100% in biology 100 in Physics 95% in French her description of pledging with a fraternity is wonderful running out of oil in the winter and much much more detailing a good but tough life in post War New York. Her folks are not without resources as Dad does inspections of some sort on fences trucks tires knitting machines etc. with 4 men working for him and some out of state so we can safely assume it is more technical and substantive than her basic observations. This girl is in many ways a typical Jewish-American girl but her ambition in school and her love of her family makes this diary a true testament to a spirited but level headed bright young woman. Researchers and historians of the era will find the sum and soul of this intriguing young lady in a simple quote from the diary: "We all got up late but dad who is as constant as the North Star." The 6 x 3½ inch diary is VG.; 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF BROOKLYN JEWISH TEENAGER ALL AMERICAN GIRL JUDAISM JEWISH STUDIES JEWISH LIFE IN AMERICA NEW YORK POST WAR ERA POST WORLD WAR II GENDER STUDIES WOMEN'S STUDIES SOCIAL STUDIES AMERICANA EPILEPSY JUDAICA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH DIARY JOURNAL LOG KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS PHOTO ALBUM PHOTOGRAPHIC ALBUM HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS HANDSCHRIFT HANDGESCHRIEBEN MANUSKRIPT SÜTTERLIN VON HAND GESCHRIEBEN HANDSCHRIFTLICH UNIKAT EINZELSTÜCK DOKUMENT SCHRIFTSTÜCK KURRENT KURRENTSCHRIFT DEUTSCHE SCHREIBSCHRIFT OSTPREUßEN KALININGRAD ADEL DIARIES JOURNALS LOGS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY antiquité contrat vélin document manuscrit papier Antike Brief Pergament Dokument Manuskript Papier oggetto d'antiquariato atto velina documento manoscritto carta antigüedad hecho vitela documento manuscrito Papel . unknown

VALCKENAER,LC L C
Ludovici Caspari Valckenaer Oratio de sacra Novi Foederis critice a literatoribus quos vocant non exercenda. Habita Kalendis Iuniis 1745 quum abiret Magistratu Academico.
Franeker Franequerae Excudit Gulielmus Coulon Illust. Frisiae Ordd. atque Eorumd. Academ. Typogr. Ord. 1745. 4to. II60X p. Plain modern cloth 26 cm Ref: STCN ppn 151528659; Gerretzen p. 208/09 Details: Woodcut of the coat of arms of the province Frisia Friesland on the title. At the end a long laudatory poem of Johannes Daniel van Lennep a student of Valckenaer in Greek and by Ernst Willem Higt who studied theology in Franeker in Dutch Condition: The lower margin of last pages slightly stained. Lower margin of last leaf frayed. Last leaf soiled Note: The Frisian scholar Lodewijk Caspar Valckenaer 1715-1785 was a pupil of his fellow Frisian Tiberius Hemsterhuis and after him the greatest Dutch classical scholar of the 18th century. Hemsterhuis 1685-1766 advised his students in Franeker and later in Leiden to use especially the lexica of the ancient lexicographers. These works could be of great use for the understanding of textual problems and for the amending of texts of classical authors and they were of great help to gain a profound knowledge of the Greek language and its vocabulary. For his first fruits Valckenaer chose an unpublished work of the Greek grammarian Ammonius who lived probably in the first or second century A.D. This edition the 'editio princeps' of 'De adfinium vocabulorum differentia' made his name. It resulted in his appointment as professor of Greek at the University of Franeker in 1741 succeeding his teacher Tiberius Hemsterhuis who made a career move to the university of Leiden. Gerretzen Schola Hemsterhusiana 1940 p. 205/6 § Hemsterhuis was professor of Greek at the University of Franeker from 1717 till 1740 and from 1740 till 1765 at the University of Leiden. He was the founder of a Dutch school of criticism the so-called 'Schola Hemsterhusiana' which had in Valckenaer its best known disciple. In 1765 Valckenaer left for Leiden once again as successor of his beloved teacher Hemsterhuis. Both created a golden age of Greek studies in the Netherlands. In Franeker Valckenaer produced a revised and augmented edition of Fulvio Orsini's 'Virgilius illustratus' Leeuwarden 1747. This title is important for the history of scholarship for its inclusion of the text of the 22nd book of the Iliad of Homer accompanied by an introduction 'variae lectiones' and the 'editio princeps' of scholia of Porphyrius and other hellenistic and byzantine scholars. In 1755 Valckenaer published his edition of Euripides' play 'Phoenissae' with his rich commentary. Among his best works are two other Euripides editions 'Diatribe in Euripidis perditorum dramatum reliquias' Leiden 1767 and 'Euripidis tragoedia Hippolytus' Leiden 1768. Valckenaer also produced editions of the Idylls of Theocritus Leiden 1773 and an edition with the complete works of the bucolic poets Theocritus Bion and Moschus Leiden & Kampen 1779. His Callimachus was published posthumously by J. Luzac 'Callimachi elegiarum fragmenta' Leiden 1799. § In his first speech as Rector of the University a masterpiece of ironic rhetoric Valckenaer made a stand against the literalists in the ongoing theological conflict between the orthodox and liberal ministers of the protestant church in the Netherlands. He will speak about the things a critic or a man of letters should avoid in order to live peacefully i.e. 'corrigere Novum Testamentum'. Critics and freethinkers will have to wait for better times he concludes when textual criticism and theology may combine forces solving biblical text problems in a fearless study of the New Testament. Valckenaer knew what he was talking about. From 1625 to 1815 it was one of the tasks of a professor Greek 'to teach New Testament Greek for undergraduates of the Faculty of Divinity.' H.J. de Jonge 'Jeremias Hoelzlin: editor of the 'Textus Receptus' printed by the Elzeviers Leiden 1633' in 'Miscellanea Neotestamentica' Volume I Leiden 1978 p. 112 Collation: pi1; A-H4; I4 minus blank leaf I4 Photographs on request hardcover

Valentine J HUGO - (Camille ROGER)
La Jeune Locrienne. Chapeau de Camille Roger pl.9 La Gazette du Bon ton 1922 n°2
Paris: Lucien Vogel éditeur 1922. Fine. Lucien Vogel éditeur Paris 1922 18 x 24 cm une feuille Original color print printed on vergé paper signed in the plate. An original print used to illustrate the Gazette du bon ton one of the most attractive and influential 20th century fashion magazines featuring the talents of French artists and other contributors from the burgeoning Art Deco movement. A celebrated fashion magazine established in 1912 by Lucien Vogel La Gazette du bon ton appeared until 1925 with a hiatus from 1915 to 1920 due to the war the editor-in-chief having been called up for service. It consisted of 69 issues printed in only 2000 copies each and notably illustrated with 573 color plates and 148 sketches of the models of the great designers. Right from the start this sumptuous publication was aimed at bibliophiles and fashionable society Françoise Tétart-Vittu La Gazette du bon ton in Dictionnaire de la mode 2016 and was printed on fine vergé paper using a type cut specially for the magazine by Georges Peignot known as Cochin later used in 1946 by Christian Dior. The prints were made using stencils heightened in colors some highlighted in gold or palladium. The story began in 1912 when Lucien Vogel a man of the world involved in fashion he had already been part of the fashion magazine Femina decided with his wife Cosette de Brunhoff the sister of Jean creator of Babar to set up the Gazette du bon ton subtitled at the time: Art fashion frivolities. Georges Charensol noted the reasoning of the editor-in-chief: In 1910 he observed there was no really artistic fashion magazine nothing representative of the spirit of the time. My dream was therefore to make a luxury magazine with truly modern artists
I was assured of success because when it comes to fashion no country on earth can compete with France. Un grand éditeur dart. Lucien Vogel in Les Nouvelles littéraires no. 133 May 1925. The magazine was immediately successful not only in France but also in the United States and Latin America. At first Vogel put together a team of seven artists: André-Édouard Marty and Pierre Brissaud followed by Georges Lepape and Dammicourt as well as eventually his friends from school and the School of Fine Arts like George Barbier Bernard Boutet de Monvel and Charles Martin. Other talented people soon came flocking to join the team: Guy Arnoux Léon Bakst Benito Boutet de Monvel Umberto Brunelleschi Chas Laborde Jean-Gabriel Domergue Raoul Dufy Édouard Halouze Alexandre Iacovleff Jean Émile Laboureur Charles Loupot Chalres Martin Maggie Salcedo. These artist mostly unknown when Lucien Vogel sought them out later became emblematic and sought-after artistic figures. It was also they who worked on the advertising drawings for the Gazette. The plates put the spotlight on and celebrate dresses by seven designers of the age: Lanvin Doeuillet Paquin Poiret Worth Vionnet and Doucet. The designers provided exclusive models for each issue. Nonetheless some of the illustrations are not based on real models but simply on the illustrators conception of the fashion of the day. The Gazette du bon ton was an important step in the history of fashion. Combining aesthetic demands with the physical whole it brought together for the first time the great talents of the artistic literary and fashion worlds; and imposed through this alchemy a completely new image of women: slender independent and daring which was shared by the new generation of designers including Coco Chanel Jean Patou Marcel Rochas and so on
Taken over in 1920 by Condé Montrose Nast the Gazette du bon ton was an important influence on the new layout and aesthetics of that little dying paper that Nast had bought a few years earlier: Vogue. Lucien Vogel éditeur unknown
