Girodias Maurice editor & publisher
OLYMPIA A MONTHLY REVIEW FROM PARIS
Paris: The Olympia Press 1961. Whole number one of four published. Quarto. Pictorial wrappers. Illustrated. Minor rubbing to wrapper but a very good copy. Edited by Maurice Girodias and Iris Owens. The periodical arm of the Olympia Press intended to showcase the coterie of authors who hovered around the imprint in Paris during the early '60s including a column by Terry Southern contributions by Burroughs Donleavy Durrell Daimler/Owens and others. Hounded by the French censors for reasons more political than prudish Girodias was able only to manage four issues over two years of what was intended as a monthly and then was forced to discontinue publication entirely.

AUCTION CATALOGUE: HAUTERIVE Alexandre Maurice Blanc de la Nautte Comte d'
Catalogue des Estampes Livres Ouvrages a Figures Antiquités et Curiosités du Cabinet.Par Duchesne Aîné et Dubois. Dont la Vente se fera le Lundi 2 Avril 1832 et jours suivans.
viii 63 pp. 8vo attractive antique calf-backed paste-paper boards spine gilt red morocco lettering piece on spine. Paris: Dubois 1832. A rare sale catalogue of a varied and rich collection formed by one of Napoleon's trusted advisors. Hauterive 1754-1830 statesman and archivist fled from the Revolution to the United States where he served as French consul in New York. He was recalled to France by Talleyrand to a high post in the office of foreign affairs in 1798. The two collaborated on De L'État de la France à la fin de l'an VIII 1800 which justified Napoleon's coup d'état to the world. D'Hauterive entered Napoleon's inner circle and significantly shaped the foreign policy of Napoleonic France. He was essential in the drafting of the Concordat of 1801 and his influence shines through in the final document. A disagreement with Talleyrand led to d'Hauterive's reassignment to the archives of the foreign ministry where he distinguished himself and was elected a member of the Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres in 1820. 627 lots. At the beginning of the catalogue the experts of this sale Duchesne and Dubois highlight some of the finer pieces in the collection such as prints by Dürer Schongauer Lucas van Leyden Rembrandt Hollar Poussin Rubens etc.; the famous books of Piranesi no. 167 Buffon no. 348 and Le Vaillant no. 350; and artifacts from Greece Italy Egypt as well as Hawaii California and Alaska. One section lists "Objets fabriqués par des peuples sauvages." D'Hauterive also possessed an impressive library of illustrated books which is described herein including books on architecture natural history costumes emblems voyages and a handful of manuscripts. Nice copy we find none in North America. As in most cases the present copy lacks the supplement of 13 pages. ❧ Lugt 12936. N.B.G. Vol. 23 cols. 587-92. hardcover books
