LOVELY INDIGO CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT BY DAVID stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with French fillet border raised bands spine compartments with intricate central fleuron and scrolling cornerpieces gilt lettering turn-ins with multiple decorative rolls marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Housed in a maroon buckram chemise in a matching morocco-backed slipcase. Engraved illustrated title page in each volume 110 engraved chapter headings and 205 ENGRAVED ILLUSTRATIONS BY GRAVELOT AND OTHERS 110 of these plates and 95 tailpiece vignettes. A Large Paper Copy. Cohen-de Ricci 160-61; Ray 15; Furstenberg 26. A couple of boards with trivial chafing isolated faint foxing occasional minor marginal smudges touching text on a couple of pages but A VERY FINE SET clean and fresh internally with spacious margins and in sparkling bindings with virtually no signs of wear. This is an elegantly bound and unusually well-preserved copy of one of the most famous and charming illustrated books of the 18th century a work frequently regarded as the supreme example of refined libertine illustration of the period. Owen Holloway calls it one of the four masterpieces of book illustration at the end of the Rococo period. Ray too is expansive in his praise calling the work simply "one of the masterpieces of the illustrated book." The publisher first released this work in Italian in 1757 with the present edition following later the same year. Although he had as collaborators on this work some of the outstanding French artists of the 18th century Gravelot born Hubert-François-Bourguignon 1699-1773 was chiefly responsible for its production designing 89 of its 111 plates and all 97 of its immensely delightful tailpieces. In this the most ambitious undertaking of his career Gravelot gave Boccaccio's narrative the settings and costumes of 18th century France and this transposition Ray tells us "made it possible for him to exercise his special talent for depicting the social world around him. For the most part his figures are young the women graceful and pretty the men lithe and handsome." But "all levels of life are presented from the peasant in his hovel to the king in his palace. Every variety of interior is there from boudoirs and bedrooms to dining rooms and salons. Animated street scenes alternate with glimpses of gardens and farms forests and river banks. The human condition has rarely been so attractively displayed." Our copy is particularly pleasing: it is in fine condition with wide generous margins and was bound in rich indigo morocco by David. Parisian binder Bernard David 1824-95 worked under Pfister Dompierre Lortic and Gruel before striking out on his own to establish a very high reputation in the trade. His bindery was taken over by his son Salvador in 1890. Prault] unknown

1930Best.-Nr. 101256New York 1930. 1930. Very good. - Over 30 words penned on the 8-1/4 inch high by 5-1/4 inch wide blank leaf excised from his book "Mr. Boccaccio of Broadway" the book is not here present. The author Kenneth MacAlpin likely a pseudonym presents a copy of his book to the American actress and speakeasy club owner "For Texas Guinan a grand gal - this second copy of the book! The first of course went to the grand-est gal - but you come next Tex!" Signed "Sincerely 'Kenneth MacAlpin' New York 1930" with the postscript "It's a lie!!". The left edge of the page is slightly chipped and there is a small chip out from the top edge of the page. Very good. The elusive American author of "Mr. Boccaccio of Broadway" Kenneth McAlpin was likely a pseudonym as he shared the name with the legendary first king of Scotland. His real identity remains shrouded in mystery. The book not here present whose half-title reads "The Pentameron of Mr. Boccaccio of Broadway" is a collection of 5 slightly racy & risque satirical stories with illustrations by Harold DeLay. Published by Ross Neu of the New Publishing Company MacAlpin dedicated the book to "Harry Stephen Keeler who strongly suspects my real identity". The American actress & singer "Texas" Guinan appeared on stage and screen eventually forming her own film production company. Yet she is most famous for the several New York City Prohibition era Speakeasy clubs she managed. Backed by mobsters and bootleggers her clubs catered to the rich and famous of New York society as well as politicians and featured jazz bands and chorus girls. Though she was once arrested during police raids of the clubs charges were dismissed. New York, 1930.
