‎Masques et Bouffons Comedie Italienne Texte et Dessins Par Maurice Sand Gravures Par A. Manceau Preface Par George Sand 2 volumes‎

‎Paris: A. Levy Fils 1862. Quarter Morocco pebbled cloth boards. Very Good. Sand Maurice. 2 volumes 4to. 28 by 19 cm. viii 356 2 384 pp. 50 hand-colored plates featuring the stock characters of the improvisational Theatre Italienne such as Harlequino Arlechino Pulcinella Colombine Pagliaccio Pierrot Pantalon L'Apothicaire Le Notaire Scaramuccia Pasquariello etc. Nowadays these characters are most familiar to opera-goers thanks to the comical works of Donizetti Mascagni Busoni Mozart etc. Most of these characters grew out of the roaming theatrical troupes that originated in Italy of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The costume and basic personality of the character remained stable from one performance to the next but within those parameters the characters in a troupe usually following the broad contours of a story line would improvise bringing in buffonery perhaps relating to the events of the day the specific venue where they were appearing or whatever else might spring into their mind on the spur of the moment. In the eighteenth century the free form went into decline replaced by more scripted plays but its influence is very evident in the plays of Goldoni Moliere who worked well before the form vanished and besides the opera buffa early twentieth century Vaudeville ballet and more current comedy. Also the costume from the Theatre Italienne has never failed to excite enthusiasm and thus it is often celebrated in the decorative arts as perhaps most magnificently in porcelain beginning in the eighteenth century with Meissen Nymphenburg and many other makes. Today the style of Harlequin or Arlecchino continue to be emulated in clothes design with some regularity. This two volume celebration of the costume and characters of this theater was written by Maurice Sand who was the son of the novelist George Sand who wrote the preface. Maurice Sand 1823 -1889 was an accomplished illustrator and writer in his own right. Occasional soiling sometimes toning around perimeter outside of tissue guards which have survived remarkably well. Rubbing along joints and moderate wear of boards. Very handsome marbled painting of edges. <br/><br/> A. Levy Fils hardcover books‎

‎Loti Pierre pseudonym for Louis Marie Julien Viaud. Illustrations by Maurice de Becque. Reproductions the pochoir process by‎

‎Le Mariage de Loti‎

‎Paris: Librairie Lemercier 1927. Limited Edition. First Edition thus. Three Quarter Morocco. Marbled Boards. Near Fine. 1 of 12 copies to the limitation this being a presentation copy to Madame de Becque the wife of the illustrator. Beautiful 3/4 morocco binding by Saulnier. 4to. 28 by 22 cm. 208 pp. with 18 color plates and twelve vignettes and a second suite of all the illustrations in just outline form bound in at the end along with the spine to the wraps. The wrap cover serves as one of the three title pages. In its original title "Raharu" this is the novel that put Loti on the map in 1880 and it served as the inspiration for Leo Delibes' once popular opera "Lakmé" which premiered just three years later. Essentially Loti was the authorial counterpart to Gauguin in plunging whole into Tahitian society and his pen-name "Loti" followed from this novel. Without question one of Loti's greatest strengths as a writer was the color he brought to his descriptions and exotic subject matter and these pochoirs most definitely honor and capture that mastery. The bright plates and vignettes could be mistaken for actual painting and they are a feast to the eye. Apparently scarce with the only copy we could locate at the BNF -- no copies of this edition were found at all on OCLC or in commerce. A few tiny specks of discoloration on the spine and very light edgewear. Otherwise clean and pristine inside. <br /><br /> Librairie Lemercier hardcover books‎

‎Mrs. Maurice de Bunsen‎

‎ALS on British Legation Lisbon stationery from diplomant's wife Mrs. Maurice de Bunsen to Mrs. Anstruther‎

‎Lisbon 1905. First Edition. Letter. Very good. Dear Mrs. Anstruther I was charmed with your nice lines. Indeed it will be our own fault if we don't enjoy our tree top where there will always be a branch for you. You must really come and perch on it when you can. Your father has also written me a charming letter. We had some pleasant walks and talks together last summer. Alas! Cintra Sintra has no possible counterpart in Spain. Will you thank your husband very much for his letter to me I hope we may meet in London 'ere long. Very sincerely -- De Bunsen served as British Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at Lisbon in 1905 then in 1906 began as British Ambassador to Spain. The proximity of these wives of diplomats to pivotal moments is of interest. In de Bunsen's story taken from Wiki: On 16 July 1914 reporting on what he had been told the previous day at a lunch with Count Heinrich von Lützow who had learned of the planned aggression against Serbia and was trying to derail what he saw as a coming war de Bunsen told Sir Edward Grey that "a kind of indictment is being prepared against the Servian Government for alleged complicity in the conspiracy which led to the assassination of the Archduke" and that "the Servian Government will be required to adopt certain definite measures in restraint of nationalistic and anarchistic propaganda and that Austro-Hungarian Government are in no mood to parley with Servia but will insist on immediate unconditional compliance failing which force will be used. Germany is said to be in complete agreement with this procedure." An old hand at the diplomatic game Von Lutzow made a friend of Bunsen feeling obliged to disclose the truth. However he was a thorough diligent public servant and an efficient administrator who would prove an exemplary wartime record. Reserved modest and decorous Sir Maurice would later be forced to resign but he showed a shrewd alertness to the July crisis. So when he visited Berchtold at his country estate Buchlau on the 17th they shared a passion for horses. He cabled Sir Arthur Nicholson from Vienna warning him that it was a very grave situation; Austria intended to "compel" Serbia to yield. His wife recorded in her diary: A strong note with ultimatum Lutzow told M is to be sent in the next week probably not acceptable to Serbia. 4p. folded leaf two pages written. <br/><br/> unknown books‎
