Autographed Letter Signed in French while in exile
Guernsey 1857. unbound. 4 pages front and back with each two-page spread measuring 8.25 x 10.5 inches Guernsey British Channel Islands Hauteville House March 22 1857 in French but roughly translated to Martin Besnard sending warm thanks to Besnard for coming to the defense of the Hugo name -- a story he heard through their mutual friend Dulac who managed to escape from the Bonapartiste police. Hugo enthusiastically expresses his appreciation and describes himself as "only of the newest laborers in the struggle.of which his correspondent is a glorious veteran." In closing he would like to believe that France has made some lead ways as far as intellectual progress and human liberty are concerned.and hopes that they will meet "and it will be a joy to personally shake your intrepid and noble hand." This letter grades very good to fine condition. The iron gall ink has caused six letters in various words to appear as if they were cut out of the letter. This is a normal phenomenon and does not detract from the letter.<br/><br/> French author best known for "Les Miserables" who spent over 19 years of his life in political exile.<br/><br/> unknown books

Hugo Victor; Haynes Jessie Translator; Lang Andrew Introduction; Masereel Frans Artist
Notre-Dame de Paris The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Paris: The Limited Editions Club Printed by R. Coulouma 1930. Limited Edition. Wraps. Near fine. Masereel Frans. No. 714 of 1500 copies quarto size 724 pp. signed by Franz Masereel two volumes complete with original chemise and slipcase. Victor Marie Hugo 1802-1885 remains a household name today; he was a prolific author who published many popular works including this one also known as "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and "Les Miserables". "Notre-Dame de Paris" was "the first work of fiction to encompass the whole of life from the King of France to Paris sewer rats" n.b. quote from Wiki and was translated into English two years after publication; both the story and the characters have stamped themselves upon our cultural consciousness and have often been turned into films plays and even the opera and ballet. <br/><br/>Frans Masereel 1889-1972 is considered one of the most famous Flemish woodcut artists of his time and can be counted as one of the fathers of the modern graphic novel. The 1920s saw a revival of the medieval woodcut tradition with Masereel cited as "the undisputed king" of this revival. He is perhaps best remembered today for his "wordless novels" particularly Mon Livre d'Heures Passionate Journey.<br/><br/>With an introduction by Andrew Lang 1844-1912 a prodigious author in his own right and literary critic; his "fairy tale" series remains highly sought after today. <br/><br/>This set with the attractive Ex-Libris plates on the front free endpaper of both volumes of Charles Vetter the plate designed by M.D. Carr and dated 1945. Mr. Vetter was apparently a pilot for American Airlines with a stylized version of their early logo placed upon a stack of books on the lower right; he apparently also loved sports with a set of ski poles and a tennis racquet with balls also incorporated into the design.<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Bound in pink Ingres paper wrappers small illustration on the front wraps of the Cathedral of Notre Dame prior owner bookplates in both volumes as set forth above frontispiece in Volume One a Masereel woodcut of Quasimodo additional illustrations both full-page and in-text throughout the text; set in monotype Bodoni Arches paper quarto size 10.25" by 7.75" pagination: Volume One i-iv being the preliminary leaves i-xxx 1-309; Volume Two i-iv 1-376 377 colophon; limited edition of 1500 copies this no. 714 signed by Frans Masereel. The paper wraps still in their original glassine wrappers housed in a chemise and slipcase both of grey and tan mottled paper the chemise with the original cream laid paper spine label with black lettering.<br/><br/>___CONDITION: The volumes could almost be deemed fine; if read it was gently as the corners are straight the text blocks strong the hinges solid the wraps and interiors both clean and bright and other than the Ex-Libris plate of Charles Vetter free of prior owner markings; both text blocks slightly cocked and a hint of rubbing to the head and tails of the spines else fine. The glassine wraps also near fine with only the same hint of rubbing to the head and tails of the spine. The chemise strong and clean with sunning to the spine and the original paper spine label the paper covering the joints beginning to crack; the slipcase very good plus strong and sturdy some of the paper covering has flaked off revealing the cloth lining beneath the seams at the openings just beginning to separate one seam to about two inches the other three only about a quarter-inch. Overall a near fine set with all of the original pieces with powerful images by one of the greatest 20th-century illustrators by one of the 19th-century's great authors.<br/><br/>___CITATION: LEC Bibliography no. 13.<br/><br/>___POSTAGE: Please note that the set is unusally heavy and additional postage may apply please inquire for details.<br/><br/>___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

He is considered one of the greatest and best known French writers. In France Hugo's literary fame comes first from his poetry but also rests upon his novels and his dramatic achievements. <br/><br/>The Toilers of the Sea Les Travailleurs de la Mer is a novel by Victor Hugo that was first published in 1866. The book is dedicated to the island of Guernsey where Hugo spent 19 years in exile. Hugo uses the setting of a small island community to transmute seemingly mundane events into drama of the highest calibre. The Toilers of the Sea is set just after the Napoleonic Wars and deals with the impact of the Industrial Revolution upon the island. The story concerns a Guernseyman named Gilliatt a social outcast who falls in love with Deruchette the niece of a local shipowner Mess Lethierry. When Lethierry's ship is wrecked on the Roches Douvres a perilous reef Deruchette promises to marry whoever can salvage the ship's steam engine. Gilliatt eagerly volunteers and the story follows his physical trials and tribulations which include a battle with an octopus as well as the undeserved disapproval and criticism of his neighbors.<br/><br/>Limited Editions Club Bibliography 314.

Hugo Victor; Middleton Drew Introduction; Colby Reginald Epilogue; Detaille Edouard Illustrations
The Battle of Waterloo
Westport Connecticut: The Limited Editions Club printed at the Harbor Press 1977. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Detaille Edouard. No. 351 of 1600 copies quarto size 110 pp. with LEC Monthly Letter signed by Drew Middleton. Victor Hugo's 1802-1885 rendition of the Battle of Waterloo taken straight from the pages of his novel "Les Misérables" first published in 1862. Hugo was a passionate patriot so impassioned of France's glory that at times he set aside facts for feeling: his "Battle of Waterloo" sways the reader to believe it was Napoleon rather than Wellington that came out ahead. To round out Hugo's text the Limited Editions Club invited "New York Times" Military Correspondent Drew Middleton to write a historically authoritative introduction a balance the Club claimed "absolves us from a charge of Gallic chauvinism." The illustrations by French military painter Jean-Baptiste Edouard Detaille 1848-1912 were chosen for "accuracy and authenticity" characteristics for which Detaille's work was known. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Original quarter olive-green calf and French marbled paper covered boards backstrip lettered in gilt top-edge gilt olive-green endpapers title-page in black and red fifteen illustrations reproduced from engravings sheets printed french fold; Janson type Mohawk Superfine paper quarto size 10 7/8" by 8 1/2" pagination: i-x 1-99 1 colophon limited edition this number 351 of 1600 copies with LEC Monthly Letter slipped in signed by Drew Middleton at the colophon.
