1954réf. 002315Paris: Manuel Bruker 1954. First Limited Edition. Wraps. Very Good. No. 12 of 20. With a folio of three original ink drawings signed by Vertes a folio of 10 engravings that were rejected for use in the book proper and a suite of all the engravings used in the book. This copy is also inscribed by the artist to the collector/owner which is not something called for in the limitation. 204 pp. Stylistically the Hungarian-American Vertes brought a loose near-abstraction sensibility to what nonetheless remained lucidly representational art. He executed his images with a spare economy while keeping his lines fluid and flowing. At times his output could look slapdash and improvisational; this effect though splendidly captured the emphemeral moment in an ever-changing scene and we can sense easily movement and motion. Vertes was a modernist very much of his time and place. His was an oeuvre that dared to please the average man and thus his work decorate such places as the lobby of the Carlyle Hotel in New York. Vertes was also a costume designer who won an Academy Award for his art direction and costume designs in the movie "Moulin Rouge" released in 1952. Manuel Bruker unknown
1893réf. 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
