La France nouvelle n°48
Paris: Kugelmann 1871. Fine. Kugelmann Paris mardi 24 janvier 1871 38 x 52 cm 2 pages recto-verso Editor-in-chief: Alphonse Pagès. Daily news: Scenes of 'activist' violence in Paris on January 22 two newspapers banned ""Le Réveil"" and ""le Combat""; Order of the day from General Vinoy placed at the head of the government of national defense; Proclamation from the government and Paris mayor Jules Ferry demanding ""severe repression of this audacious attack""; Press review; Official report of the bombardment from the 20th to 21st; Victims of the bombardment; A Balloon Journey continued; Correspondence; Miscellaneous news. A tear at head with slight damage to text otherwise good condition. Adding to existing titles more than 70 newspapers were created during the 70 days of the Commune. But press freedom was restricted from April 18 and on May 18 the Committee of Public Safety banned newspapers favorable to the Thiers government. The most influential newspapers at the time were 'Le Cri du Peuple' by Jules Vallès 'Le Mot d'ordre' by Henri Rochefort 'L'Affranchi' by Paschal Grousset 'Le Père Duchesne' by Versmersch 'La Sociale' with madame André Léo 'Le vengeur' by Félix Pyat 'La Commune'. It was especially in May that the fight against the pro-Versailles press gained vigor: thus between May 5 and 18 21 newspapers were suppressed. It is quite evident that the pro-Communard Parisian press could not be distributed in the provinces due to the vigilance of the Thiers government. Kugelmann unknown

Marc TRIVIER - (Andy WARHOL)
Portrait d'Andy Warhol. Photographie Originale tirée par l'artiste. Portrait of Andy Warhol. Original photograph printed by the artist
s. l.: Par l'auteur 1981. Fine. Par l'auteur s. l. 1981-1982 22 x 22 cm une planche photographique Portrait of Andy Warhol. Original photograph printed by the artist Marc Trivier 1981-1982 22 x 22 cm on Ilford paper 30 x 40 cm Large original photograph portrait in black and white made and printed by Marc Trivier. Unsigned silver print as most of Trivier's works. Unique print from the artist. Small stain on the upper margin. Artists madmen abattoirs trees Marc Trivier photographed each of his subjects with the same interrogative intensity. All his photographs are in the same square format simple and confined with no retouching or alteration of the framing and seem less to show off a subject famous or unknown in or out of power dead or alive than to seek out a presence. Thirty-five years of photographic practice obsessions this is maybe what remains; a singular recording mode of light burning from one picture to the other in a series of proposals looking alike though each one as singular as the fraction of time it refers to Marc Trivier. Marc Trivier takes facial photographs of figures from the eighties. The subject looks right into the lens. These are not portrait star photographs but they are the result of a will of desacralisation: Instead of being a writer's or artists' portraitist among many others he marginalises himself with his device: under the pretext of settings he keeps his models waiting he makes them pose several minutes which gives them a worn look. Maybe he expects a more natural attitude. Here is Francis Bacon in a delicate balance Samuel Beckett Jean Dubuffet or even Michel Foucault more or less sagged back in their chairs. Intimate pictures. Picture of tiredness at Marc Trivier's S. Rousselle-Tellier in Marges 2004. Most of the time photographed in their personal space the subjects loosen up no longer mastering their image. The resulting unbalance reveals these figures' frailties and allows Trivier to render the unity of the intimate body and the public artworks. I was reading Genet; to me Genet was letters in a book. And then one day I saw his portrait and there was like a rupture. How could it be possible that these signs were also somebody Making a portrait is reuniting the name and the face Marc Trivier. Many items seem to oppose Warhol and Trivier. Andy Warhol is the artist of the multiple. His art was born from the metamorphosis of the consumerist artificial and mocks the proliferation of the identical. Marc Trivier is an adept of rarity and each one of his photographs comes down to some rare prints all differing in time and the artist's prints. Andy Warhol knows the importance of image which even ends up replacing the individual. He knows people play roles and this is the image he captures. His various series on Elvis Presley Marilyn Monroe or Mao show the transition to the icon status which makes these human beings immortal and destroys their humanity to change them into pieces of art. On the other hand Trivier's photographs strengthen the presence of an unwieldy body the artist cannot get rid of an obstacle to sacralisation. Warhol's known photographic clichés faithful to his spirit represent him either as a rock star proudly wearing his perfecto and sunglasses as his protégé Lou Reed or as an eccentric artist with his tousled hair or simulating a boxing match against Basquiat. Each one of his photographs is a clever exposure of his character pushed to excess image of his own image which the modern icon master fully controls. Warhol's photography made by Marc Trivier shows a complete different person. Unbalanced by a slight low-angle view projected on a black canvas behind him cutting out the scene in a triptych Andy Warhol's body seems to emerge from this dark background whereas his legs and heavy boots slightly oversized by the shooting take pride of place in the foreground. Surprised by the lengthy wait Trivier imposes to his models Andy Warhol Par l'auteur unknown

Paris: Imprimerie Impériale 1809. Fine. Imprimerie Impériale Paris 1809-1829 71 x 53.50 cm une feuille Original unshaved full-page etching from the Imperial edition of the Description de l'Égypte or Recueil des observations et recherches faites en Égypte pendant l'expédition française publié par les ordres de Sa Majesté l'Empereur Napoléon le Grand A Collection of the observations and research carried out in Egypt during the French expedition published on the orders of his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon the Great'.Produced between February 1802 and 1830 on the orders of Naopleon Bonaparte and published between 1809 and 1828 1000 copies were printed and distributed to institutions on vergé paper with an 'Égypte ancienne et moderne' watermark visible when held up to the light. Light marginal spotting not touching image otherwise in very fresh fine condition. An engraving from the Description de l'Egypte one of the masterpieces of French printing and the birth of a new field: Egyptology. A gigantic survey of Egypt at the time of Bonaparte's conquests in 1798 and 1799 the work is divided into 13 volumes of engravings making up 892 plates of which 72 colored as well as presenting the splendors of the Egypt of the Pharaohs in 9 volumes. The other volumes discuss natural history and present a fascinating portrait of Coptic and Islamic Egypt as it was seen by Bonaparte's Eastern Armies. The Egyptian campaign' militarily a disaster demonstrates through the engravings of the Description d'Egypte the scientific success it nonetheless became thanks to the 167 expert members of the Commission of the Sciences and Arts of the Institut d'Egypte Egyptian Institute who followed Napoleon's army. The Institut gathered together in Egypt the mathematician Monge the chemist Berthollet the naturalist Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire as well as numerous artists engineers architects and doctors. They were tasked with re-discovering modern and ancient Egypt and displaying its natural treasures as well as the know-how of its inhabitants.This edition the so-called Imperial edition of the plates for the Description de l'Egypte was printed in four large formats two of which were specially created for it and christened Moyen-Egypte and Grand-Egypte. A special press was built to print it the process extending over 20 years from 1809 to 1829. The Imperial edition proved so popular that a second edition this time in black and white and without the Egypte ancienne et moderne watermark known as the Royal Edition was published during the Restoration by the printing house of C.-L.-F. Panckoucke Paris.The engravings of the Description d'Egypte owe a great deal to Baron Dominique-Vivant Denon illustrator diplomat collector and later Director of the Musée Napoléon the Louvre. His exploration of the South of Egypt gave Bonaparte the idea of sending the experts of the Institut there thus creating a faithful and complete portrait of the area. This was the research gathered together from 1802 in the mammoth Description de L'Egypte.Denon embarked on this story of archeological exploration at the age of 51 reaching first Alexandria and then Cairo before exploring Upper Egypt. Along with the members of the Institut d'Egypte the Natural History Museum's painter H.J. Redouté brother of Pierre-Joseph Redouté author of Roses the mineralogist Dolomiue and the draughtsman Joly Denon then explored the Nile Delta and Lower Egypt. When however he joined the 21st Light Infantry Regiment as it marched across Upper Egypt in pursuit of the retreating Mameluks in November 1798 he found himself the only civilian. In the very midst of the battle itself he reeled off sketches of the works of art that peppered his path right up to the threshold of the Sudan. He said that he had crossed a country that is apart from its name entirely unknown to Europeans and therefore everything was worth describing Voyages dans la Basse et la Haute Egypte pendant les campagnes Imprimerie Impériale unknown

But press freedom was restricted from April 18 and on May 18 the Committee of Public Safety banned newspapers favorable to the Thiers government. The most influential newspapers then were 'Le Cri du Peuple' by Jules Vallès 'Le Mot d'ordre' by Henri Rochefort 'L'Affranchi' by Paschal Grousset 'Le Père Duchesne' by Versmersch 'La Sociale' with madame André Léo 'Le vengeur' by Félix Pyat 'La Commune'. It was especially in May that the struggle against the pro-Versailles press gained vigor: thus between May 5 and 18 21 newspapers were suppressed. It is quite evident that the pro-Communard Parisian press could not be distributed in the provinces due to the vigilance of the Thiers government. L. Toinon & Cie unknown

La Liberté 23 mai 1871
Saint-Germain-en-Laye: L. Toinon & Cie 1871. Fine. L. Toinon & Cie Saint-Germain-en-Laye mardi 23 mai 1871 28 x 43 cm 4 pages en feuilles Political managing director: Léonce Détroyat and Jehan Valter editorial secretary. News of the day: The Telegrams; The Unexpected Victory: troops enter Paris through Point-du-Jour; M. Trèves frigate captain; The Day of May 21: the entrance into Paris; Arrival of Rochefort in Versailles; The News of the day; Letters from an insurgent in spite of himself; Our correspondences; Latest hour: the tricolor flag flies over the Trocadéro and the Arc de Triomphe the National Guard general staff and the Quartermaster Corps depart for Paris. A marginal tear not touching text otherwise good condition. In addition to existing titles more than 70 newspapers were created during the 70 days of the Commune. But press freedom was restricted from April 18 and on May 18 the Committee of Public Safety banned newspapers favorable to the Thiers government. The most influential newspapers at the time were 'Le Cri du Peuple' by Jules Vallès 'Le Mot d'ordre' by Henri Rochefort 'L'Affranchi' by Paschal Grousset 'Le Père Duchesne' by Versmersch 'La Sociale' with Madame André Léo 'Le vengeur' by Félix Pyat 'La Commune'. It was particularly in May that the struggle against the pro-Versailles press gained vigor: thus between May 5 and 18 21 newspapers were suppressed. It is quite evident that the pro-Communard Parisian press could not be distributed in the provinces due to the vigilance of the Thiers government. L. Toinon & Cie unknown

Moyennes constructions : Le Savetier. Imagerie d'Épinal Pellerin n°1007.
Épinal: Pellerin & Cie 1890. Fine. Pellerin & Cie Épinal s. d. circa 1890 29.50 x 40.50 cm une feuille Épinal print color lithograph medium format printed on heavy paper. Very fine condition colors very well preserved. These sheets are constructions or cardboard models on which a pattern was printed. This pattern must be cut out and 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 boats and various vehicles. During this same period paper theaters or ""théâtre chez soi"" also enjoyed great success. This toy model developed and lasted until the Second World War. Once sold by peddlers Épinal prints 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 popular art imagery born in the 15th century mainly intended for the illiterate rural public. Originally the image is engraved on a wooden plate and printing is done using a hand press. It is then colored using stencils. In the 19th century lead castings were made from the engraved wood blocks: 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 with stencils thanks to a machine that could color 300 images per hour the Aquatype. Pellerin & Cie unknown

The Duke of Orléans Louis-Philippe D'Orléans was a great collector both of books antiquities and engraved stones; the latter provide useful information to archaeology and are even decisive for studies on Antiquity. Gathering engraved stones required long and patient research and much money and there were scarcely any but sovereigns who could assemble such a collection. That of the Duke of Orléans was in this respect remarkable. At the end of the work a letter from Daubenton on the accuracy of the representation of hippopotamuses.
