1893rif. 1276951893. LAWRENCE T.E. LONGUS. Daphnis and Chloe: A Most Sweet and Pleasant Pastoral Romance for Young Ladies. London: Vale Press 1893. Quarto contemporary full black crushed morocco elaborately gilt-decorated spine and covers raised bands top edge gilt uncut. $15000.An exceptional association copy: the finely printed and beautifully illustrated Vale Press Daphnis and ChloeÑone of only 210 copies 200 of which were for sale with 36 charming woodcuts in the Italian style by Charles Ricketts and Charles Shannon with ""T.E.L.""Ñlikely in T.E. Lawrence's handÑfaintly penciled in the upper right corner of the front free endpaper and a note from recipient Charles Francis Bell describing the circumstances in which Lawrence presented this copy to him. Beautifully bound in full morocco-gilt by C. & C. McLeish.""There are works which will never cease to be reprinted and which artists will ever love to illustrate according to their own individual fancies"" Jules Claretie Preface. This classical Greek work whose author Longus has not been fully identified has been dated to the 2nd or early 3rd century CE. Described by one scholar as ""an unknown best seller"" Giles Barber Daphnis and Chloe is considered ""the original or earliest survivor"" of the idyllic/pastoral romance Hardin Love in a Green Shade 1. This large-format illustrated edition is one of the Vale Press' most impressive books. It uses the quaint 17th-century translation of Thornley designed to convert the lascivious tale into reading matter for young ladies. One homosexual passage is left in the original Greek. In the Art Nouveau style the illustrations by Ricketts and Shannon effectively capture Longus' combination of decadence and sweet innocence.Born in 1859 binder Charles McLeish was apprenticed to Andrew Grieve in Edinburgh then came to London in 1890 to work for Riviere. When Cobden-Sanderson founded the Doves Bindery in 1893 he hired McLeish as the firm's finisher. McLeish held that estimable position until 1909 when he left to go into partnership with his son Charles who had apprenticed under Roger de Coverly. Although the senior McLeish was no longer in the employ of Cobden-Sanderson all of the bindings that were signed ""Doves Bindery"" between 1909 and 1921 were actually done in the McLeish workshop. The work produced by the McLeishes was beautifully designed and impeccably executed as evidenced in the present volume. With publisher's scarce four-page prospectus bound in at rear. Bookplate of recipient art historian Charles Francis Bell with his handwritten note regarding the circumstances of Lawrence presenting this copy to him tipped to the front free endpaper: ""This book was bound by McLeish for Colonel T.E. Lawrence whose initials in pencil in his own writing are in the top corner of the opposite endpaper. It was given by him to me at All Souls College Oxford on November 16 1920. C.F. Bell."" Bell 1871-1966 was curator of the Department of Fine Art in the Ashmolean Museum Oxford where he met Lawrence when the latter had brought fragments of pottery into the Ashmolean for identification. The two became friends and frequently discussed their shared enthusiasm for Medieval art and architecture. Although the brevity and faintness of the initials on the front free endpaper make it difficult to verify it as being in Lawrence's hand it is consistent with Lawrence's known practice of initialing his own books.Mild offsetting from woodcuts; offsetting from morocco turn-ins partially obscuring penciled initials in upper corner of front free endpaper binding beautiful and fine. An excellent association copy with distinguished provenance. hardcover

A very rare example of Bonnard's superb second book with Vollard one of ten from the édition de tête on Japon ancien with the additional suite and in a contemporary binding by Noulhac.From the edition limited to 250 numbered copies with this one of 10 copies on japon ancien à la forme from the édition de tête with the additional suite of the lithographs printed without text in 'ton rose'.The édition de tête of ten copies of 'Daphnis et Chloé' is extremely rare: we know only of one other copy that formerly in a Swiss private collection cited in 'De Parallèlement à Chanson Complète'. That catalogue cites a further copy: 'Un autre exemplaire du rarissime tirage sur japon était le livre le plus précieux du célèbre catalogue de Nicolas Rauch sur les livres de peintres en 1957'. We locate no other examples at auction or in public or private collections.The only known work of the Greek Longus Daphnis and Chloe has appealed to numerous artists and illustrators: Pierre Bonnard 1902 Sylvain Sauvage 1925 Aristide Maillol 1937 and Marc Chagall 1961 all produced illustrated editions. The tale - one of the least tragic of the Greek canon - tells of the love of two foundlings raised together the eponymous hero and heroine who each harbour an unsuspected love for the other suffer various reverses of fortune including Chloe's kidnap by pirates before a happy resolution for all parties.'The lithographs of an unprecedented lightness of touch have been printed with such subtlety and skill that you seem to see the original crayon and they like the text have that marvellous spontaneity that will remain forever one of Bonnard's greatest gifts.' J. Guignard Le Livre 1942.'Chaque composition de Bonnard sur 'belle page' tient dans un rectangle vertical de proportion quasi identique 'soulignée' de quelques lignes de texte donnant au livre une homogénéité de présentation fascinante. La typographie de l'Imprimerie nationale fut entièrement réalisée en fonte neuve de 'Grandjean du Roi'. La traduction du texte de Longus sophiste de Lesbos au IIe siècel fut effectuée par Amyot vers 1558 et révisée par P.-L. Courier au XIXe siècle.

Garvey 174; Garvey Wick 22; BNF32393010. According to Eleanor Garvey "The Artist and the Book" p. 122 this work is "perhaps the most harmonious of Maillol's illustrated books." An ancient Greek novel written during the Roman Empire the only known work of the 2nd century CE Greek novelist and romance writer Longus translated by George Thornley in 1657 the story of Daphnis and Chloe inspired the French-Catalan sculptor Aristide Maillol 1861-1944 to create an extensive set of sometimes mischievous woodcuts of nymphs and lovers using the same classical lines that typify his sculpture. The format of the book is particularly suited "to the black and white balance of the decorated page" François Chapon. The images the luscious hand-made paper the sensual tone of the engravings all contribute to this piquant book meant to educate and titillate the "young beauties" to whom the book is dedicated. The Epistle Dedicatory reads "To Young Beauties". "The ceremonies customes & manners of the ancient Greekes; with delightfull interspersion of their old and sweet Tales: And in short; nothing to vex you unless perchance in your own conscience. A.
