Longus. Anonymous illustrator with initials "LG".ABAA

Daphnis and Chloe Daphnis Kai Chloe

1934ref. 002243France 1934. First Edition presumed. Wraps made of 18th Century French Vellum Documents. Near Fine. No text with fifteen color lithographed plates of a softcore sensibility with nudity. The only words in the story proper is the title rendered in Cyrillic. The illustrations are far from lewd yet do have a delicious kitschy quality of the second-rate book illustration and they were in their time meant to give the viewer a frisson of excitement from partaking of something mildly naughty and taboo. The illustrations feel anachronistic fitting more squarely in the twentieth century than the classical world being portrayed but perhaps that is also their charm. No one could find the illustrations pretentious or overblown and if nothing else they do capture a simplicity and innocence that are at the core of the tale. Perhaps the most special aspect of the booklet is the wraps or outer wraps to be precise made up of two sheets of vellum documents from the mid-18th century that may have come from a Royal Archive. These sheets were clearly meant to conceal the erotic contents. One of the documents is signed Besnard P and is a letter dated 25 9bre 1734 with a seal of the city of Rouen. Back to the Daphis and Chloe a few of the plates bear a stylized device of what appears to be "LG" and above the date of 1934. hardcover books

1893ref. 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

Small folio. 334 x 268 mm. Half-title with justification verso printed title with vignette by Bonnard 3 leaves with 'Préface du Traducteur' and Longus' text illustrated with 156 original lithographs by Bonnard printed in black leaf with 'Table des Matières' final leaf with achevé d'imprimer; also included in a separate volume with a separate wrapper is the complete series - three leaves with a lithograph recto and verso and one leaf with the two final lithographs recto - of lithographs printed in 'ton rose'. 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. Deux ans après 'Parallèlement' cette nouvelle collaboration Vollard-Bonnard n'eut pas non plus grand succès à sa parution avant de devenir un des symboles du 'livre de peintre' au XXe siècle.' de Parallèlement à Chanson Complète.see Guignard's 'Le Livre' Paris 1942; see 'de Parallèlement à Chanson Complète' pp. 23 - 26.
