‎Contes chinois ou les avantures merveilleuses du Mandarin Fum-Hoam • Chinese Tales or the Marvelous Adventures of the Mandarin Fum-Hoam‎

‎à Utrecht: Chez Etienne Neaulme 1733. Fine. Chez Etienne Neaulme à Utrecht 1733 7 x 13 cm 3 volumes reliés New edition rare after the original Parisian edition of 1723 and illustrated with 8 unsigned figures 4 for each volume. Title pages in red and black. At the end Catalogue des livres qui se trouvent chez Jean Neaulme 32 p. Contemporary full marbled brown calf bindings. Raised band spines with ornament. Red morocco title labels tan morocco volume labels. Tail of volume II partly torn away. Lower joint of volume I split at head. Two lacks to upper board of volume II. Upper joint of volume I cracked at head. Missing one endleaf before title. A good copy. The title ""Oriental Tales"" would truly be more accurate to describe this bewildering collection where the stories are embedded within one another taking us from one country to another. Thus we find numerous tales about Persia some about India others about the kingdom of Canaan Cochinchina Laos. Everything begins with the king of Canaan's desire to send a harem as an offering to the king of China. The reader finds himself in Persia with the ambassador of the king of Canaan and two dervishes one of whom turns out to be a girl and the other the king of Georgia. The essential narration is handled by the mandarin Fum-Hoam but the tales and stories concern Persia and neighboring countries more. The marvelous is not absent from these tales of unbridled invention: one can notably see Fum-Hoam transformed into a flea. Gueullette made a specialty of writing oriental tales and produced several quite important collections that all had lasting success not only in France but also in England Germany and even Russia. One cannot distinguish what in Gueullette stems from compilation borrowing or even plagiarism and what comes from the author's pen. One thing is certain reading the Arabian Nights translated by Galland whose first collection appeared in 1704 profoundly marked him and he holds an important place alongside 18th-century tales by Crébillon Hamilton and others for whom the Orient was an inexhaustible source of inventions and moral transgressions.

‎Paris: S. n. 1913. Fine. S. n. Paris 1913 14 x 22.50 cm une feuille original print in color printed on laid paper signed lower right of the board. One of the first French fashion magazines published a few days before the famous Gazette fashionable and bringing together the greatest French artists of the Art Deco movement. The Journal ladies and modes is a trimensuelle illustrated French fashion magazine created in 1797. Its publication was stopped in 1839 before being taken in June 1912 under the leadership of Tommaso Antongini secretary friend and biographer of Gabriele 'Annunzio. It will disappear in August 1914 on the eve of the First World War. The review was drawn in 1279 copies making it for the time a relatively confidential publication. The 186 plates with great finesse are engraved on strong paper and colored stencil. They represent the majority of the time women but also men and children. The models are not unlike those of the Gazette fashionable whose publication will be launched a few months later those renowned couturiers but are the fruit of the imagination of the illustrators themselves. The stencils are mostly executed by George Barbier but other artists collaborating on the magazine: Léon Bakst B. Berty Bernard Boutet de Monvel Roger Broders Jan van Brock Umberto Brunelleschi H. Robert Dammy Etienne Drian Abel Faivre Marie-Madeleine Franc-Nohain Xavier Gosé Paul Iribe Kriegck Victor Lhuer Pierre Legrain Charles Martin Fernand Simeon Ismael Smith Armand Vallee and Gerda Wegener. Many of these illustrators will also be involved in The Gazette fashionable. Their work emblematic of the Art Deco movement emphasize the influence of Orientalism and costumes of the Ballets Russes while registering in the daily activities of affluent French of the time. From the preface of the first issue of 1912 Anatole France said: ""After seventy-five years he is reborn. He is reborn through the efforts of a few ingenious minds and artists. He is reborn for the curious if there is that do not simply modes newspaper fired several thousand and illustrated by photography. And if publishers make us very exactly in its format with its paper printing its processes of etching and coloring the old classic patterns of the past is that they intend to continue the pleasantly and become charming classic fashion of today and tomorrow.
