Ex-libris and oval gilt morocco bookplate of Estelle Doheny on front pastedown. This is a deluxe issue of the famous monograph written and illustrated by Jules Adeline on the grotesque Gothic sculptures and gargoyles in the region of Rouen. Amply illustrated on fine papier de Chine it is numbered 2 in the first set of 20 and is initialed by Jules Adeline on the edition leaf. The deluxe edition of this monograph printing is quite rare. This was the tirage tout spécial destined for distribution between the author and printers circle. By Adelines initials we conclude this copy enjoyed that privileged circulation. Adeline was a fixture in his hometown of Rouen. His career began in architectural sketching where he developed a keen eye for depicting the monumental sculpture in his native French medieval city. Adeline also worked as a caricaturist and artistic columnist for several newspapers including the "Journal de Rouen" "Rouen Nouvelliste" and "Le Progrès de Rouen." In particular this publication dealt with the satirical and symbolic sculptures that he encountered on the winding avenues of Rouen. With contributions from Champfleury a trailblazer of Realism in painting and literature this work was celebrated for its conclusions in medieval art iconography mainly that hybrid characters embodied complex nuanced and understated ideas that often resist exact interpretation. The custom presentation binding of cuir-ciselé cut-leatherwork is most exceptional. Not only is it unusual in treatment but also it incorporates two relief panels from the Cathedral of Rouen in the form of characteristic medieval grotesques. Not much is known about the Parisian binder Quinet but he can be linked to other bindings of the late-nineteenth century many described as magnificently gilt. This artisanal binding is unparalleled in its distinctive medieval-revival leather craftsmanship; it is period to five years of the printing and would have circulated through Jules Adeline himself perhaps even by his commission.

1997réf. 209909Paris: Citadelles & Mazenod 1997. Hardcover. VG. Light touches of shelfwear. Quarto. Hardcover in illustrated slip. Grey cloth boards with stamped titles in illustrated jacket. 494 pages : illustrations some color cartes portraits ; 32 cm. Between scholarly works on the history of Paris and the many unoriginal publications for the general public there was a place for a book where the information was as solid as the iconography. To show and understand how over the centuries Paris was built transformed the social political literary and artistic framework and unfolded the destiny of a capital that became an international myth: such is the purpose of this work. Throughout the contents which unfolds chronologically the authors bring to life the various periods covered. Sociologists academics historians curators each of them approaches their text in an original way. We see ancient Lutetia developing on the banks of a river that very early conditioned its topography: the City the island seat of civil and religious power the University intellectual center of the left bank and the City artisanal and commercial center of the right bank. The modern city desired by Henri IV the city of Reason that became more beautiful during the 18th century the metamorphosed city of Baron Haussmann the city of major works of the late 20th and early 21st centuries all these cities overlap mingle and replace each other tirelessly creating the fascinating landscape of a unique city. A sumptuous iconography selected with relevance and texts as varied as they are informed allow this work to take on a dual character documentary and aesthetic offering both a historical study and an artistic panorama of exceptional richness.
