He moved his workshop to 28 rue Ampère in 1902. Thirty-one of his bindings were sold at auction at Drouot Richelieu in Paris in 2008 Piasa Livres Anciens et Modernes December 2nd 2008.<br/> <br/>Antoine François Prévost d'Exiles 1697-1763 usually known simply as the Abbé Prévost was a French author and novelist.<br/><br/>The Story of the Chevalier des Grieux and Manon Lescaut Histoire du Chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut is a novel by Antoine François Prévost. Published in 1731 it is the seventh and final volume of Mémoires et aventures d'un homme de qualité Memoirs and Adventures of a Man of Quality. The story set in France and Louisiana in the early eighteenth century follows the hero the Chevalier des Grieux and his lover Manon Lescaut. Controversial in its time the work was banned in France upon publication. Despite this it became very popular and pirated editions were widely distributed. In a subsequent 1753 edition the Abbé Prévost toned down some scandalous details and injected more moralizing disclaimers.<br/><br/>Seventeen-year-old Des Grieux studying philosophy at Amiens comes from a noble and landed family but forfeits his hereditary wealth and incurs the disappointment of his father by running away with Manon on her way to a convent. In Paris the young lovers enjoy a blissful cohabitation while Des Grieux struggles to satisfy Manon's taste for luxury. He acquires money by borrowing from his unwaveringly loyal friend Tiberge and by cheating gamblers. On several occasions Des Grieux's wealth evaporates by theft in a house fire etc. prompting Manon to leave him for a richer man because she cannot stand the thought of living in penury.<br/><br/>The two lovers finally end up in New Orleans to which Manon has been deported as a prostitute where they pretend to be married and live in idyllic peace for a while. But when Des Grieux reveals their unmarried state to the Governor and asks to be wed with Manon the Governor's nephew sets his sights on winning Manon's hand. In despair Des Grieux challenges the Governor's nephew to a duel and knocks him unconscious. Thinking he had killed the man and fearing retribution the couple flee New Orleans and venture into the wilderness of Louisiana hoping to reach an English settlement. Manon dies of exposure and exhaustion the following morning and after burying his beloved Des Grieux is eventually taken back to France by Tiberge.<br/><br/>Maurice Leloir 1853-1940 was a French illustrator watercolourist draftsman printmaker writer and collector.

Paris: Chez Aubert Editeur des Cent-et-Un Robert-Macaire 1839-1840.<br/><br/>First edition. Three quarto volumes bound in one 10 x 7 5/8 in; 251 x 193 mm. 1 half-title 2 title 600 pp. With 150 numbered hand-colored lithographs heightened with gum arabic by Honoré Daumier forty-five Gavarni forty-two Frédéric Bouchot twenty-two Victor Adam ten Platier seven Benjamin i.e. Benjamin Roubaud four Bourdet three Pruche three Platel two Grandville two Edme-Jean Pigal two Alophe Menut two Charles Vernier two Charles-Joseph Traviès one and others.<br/><br/>Bound ca. 1886-1890 by James Screeton of Hull with label to rear pastedown half black pebbled morocco over gray-brown cloth. Elaborately gilt tooled compartments gilt-rolled raised bands. All edges gilt. Some foxing and toning throughout but still a very good copy.<br/><br/>"The house of Aubert was ingenious in marketing its products. Its lithographs.were published one by one in periodicals like Le charivari and together in suites by the same artist without letterpress. Still a third form of publication was in albums made up of lithographs by several artists with accompanying texts. These collections most commonly took the form of volumes with the generic title Paris comique which consisted of twenty colored lithographs accompanied by quite unrelated texts. Aubert remarked that the resulting hodgepodge had ‘a plan that is easy to follow for it consists in not having any' and in fact this was indeed a frugal procedure for reusing old texts and already published plates. The interest of the various volumes of Paris comique resides entirely in the lithographs they happen to contain. It can be considerable however since Daumier and Gavarni are the predominant artists. Le musée pour rire represents a more considerable effort on the part of Aubert. To accompany 150 lithographs including forty-five by Daumier among them twenty-seven from Croquis d'expressions and eight from La galerie physionomique and forty-two by Gavarni new commentaries were commissioned on each plate all except two by Alhoy and Huart. Daumier's lithographs were trimmed slightly and their captions were relettered. The designs of the other artists were provided with decorative frames. The whole was then published in three handsome volumes and in copies with expert contemporary coloring like this one Le musée pour rire is among the freshest and most attractive of romantic illustrated books" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book.<br/><br/>Le Musée pour Rire "contained 150 lithographs by Daumier Gavarni Bouchot Traviès etc. These are re-impressions some of them in mirror image which had previously already been used for publication in Le Charivari. Most prints of the series ‘Croquis d'expressions' are contained in the book. The name of the series is missing and the texts were printed in a different type than in the original Charivari version. We do not consider these prints original lithographies but rather prints ‘after Daumier'". <br/><br/>James Screeton was the son of bookbinder William Screeton of Hull. It appears that he was partner of binder William Wardell until opened his own shop in 1886. <br/><br/>Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book 164. Paris: Chez Aubert, 1839 unknown books

Flying the banner "Castigat ridendo mores" this is a slyly humorous take on the "civilité puérile" genre of juvenile manner books inspired by Erasmus; it opens by encouraging children to be grateful for parents who keep them clean and well-cared-for in contrast to tragic neglected little ones running about with disheveled hair and dirty faces. Originally published in 1887 the work appears here with advertisements at the back featuring the illustrator's Jeanne d'Arc which was first published in 1896.<br>Â Â Â Â The => full-page color-printed illustrations were wood-engraved by Petit after watercolors by eminent children's illustrator Boutet de Monvel 18501913. They include such scenes as Paul wiping his nose on both his shirt and the curtains "touche-à-tout" Berthe breaking a tray's worth of fine china and André unclear on which visitors should be embraced kissing the surprised delivery man along with other misadventures involving piano lessons an untimely chair removal a bread-stealing dog etc.<br>Â Â Â Â => Searches of WorldCat find no U.S. copies of this jeu d'esprit and an uncertain number in France.<br>Â Â Â Â Binding: Publisher's gilt papercovered boards front cover with black-stamped title and color-stamped raised vignette.

Maeterlinck Maurice
Sinilind L'oiseau bleu. Translated by Marie Under
Tartu: Odamees 1918. Octavo 18 Ã 14.2 cm. Original pictorial wrappers by Ado Vabbe; 213 pp. Good or better; wrappers lightly creased; spine extremities torn. First Estonian translation of Maeterlinck's 1908 play "The Blue Bird" "L'oiseau bleu" and one of the earliest appearances of the Belgian Symbolist writer in Estonian. Translated by Marie Under 1883-1980 the Estonian writer and literary organizer who established the "Siuru" group a gathering of Bohemian spirits whose work emphasized sensual experience and joyous optimism. The group played a key role in Estonian modernist literary life; it took its name from the mythological fire bird "Siuru" of the Estonian national epic "Kalevipoeg". The wrappers were illustrated by Ado Vabbe 1892-1961 one of the most significant Estonian painters and graphic designers. Vabbe helped introduce modernist tendencies into Estonian art and was one of the founders of the "Pallas" union of artists as well as the art school by the same name which helped train a new generation of Estonian artists in the 1920s. Prior to returning to Tartu he studied in Munich where he came in contact with members of the Blaue Reiter Group such as Wassily Kandinsky visited important Western art collections and met representatives of both Italian and Russian Futurism. Curiously the publication still features a censorship approval note printed below the publisher on the title page: "Zur Verbreitung und zur Ausfuhr zugelassen. Presse-Abteilung A. O. K. 8." Rare; Not located in KVK OCLC. unknown books
