Front pastedown with armorial bookplate of German bibliophile and music publisher Ludwig Strecker. The Artist and the Book 174. ◆A SPLENDID COPY clean and bright in a luxurious unworn binding. This version of Longus' charming Greek pastoral novel of awakening love long retained its popularity and was published frequently often with illustrations. And perhaps the chief virtue of the present edition is the unaffected sometimes mischievous woodcuts of nymphs and lovers by the French-Catalan artist Aristide Maillol 1861-1944 best known for his sculpture. His engravings here have the same classical lines that typify his three-dimensional works. According to "The Artist and the Book" the work is "perhaps the most harmonious of Maillol's illustrated books." The very attractive and intelligent binding is by Mainz master bookbinder Irmgard Haccius 1916-2003 whose work here is entirely in keeping with the illustrator's graceful simplicity. Haccius studied at the art academies in Munich and Berlin in addition to completing advanced training in book binding at the Academy of Fine Arts at Castle Giebenstein Hall. She was one of the first faculty members at the State University Institute for Art and Handicraft in Mainz before joining Johannes Gutenberg University in 1973 as a professor in the Department of Visual Arts.

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.

One of 250 numbered copies.Francis Bouvet The Complete Graphic Work no. 75; Luc Monod Manuel. no. 7262; François Chapon Le Peintre et le livre pp. 67-68 -- The Artist & the Book 28 -- Rauch 22; OCLC Number / Unique Identifier:54167315.One of the most famous modern illustrated books – copy on hollande paper. Seduced by his first collaboration with Pierre Bonnard on Parallel by Verlaine 1900 Ambroise Vollard commissioned a second one from him these Pastorales. Where Parallel with its daring layout and the choice of printing the lithographs in pink had been disconcerting the layout of this second book is more classical the illustration being clearly separated from the text. However at the time of its publication it remained "shunned by bibliophiles who for a long time refused to see it as an appropriate illustration technique for luxury books because it was considered too commercial even vulgar" Limited edition. Vollard Petiet et l'estampe de maîtres pp. 44-45. .This judgment has largely been revised by their successors and the work is today considered one of the greatest successes of the illustrated book. Carteret Illustrés IV p. 242: a beautiful work highly sought after and highly rated. One of the greatest stars of modern books. ; « Like Bonnard’s earlier lithographs for Parallèlement and Manet’s for Le Corbeau these subtle plates had little appeal in 1902 for a public that preferred the sharply defined realism of the professional engraver.The book is today considered one of the finest of its period”. The Artist and the Book n°28 ; Mahé II col. 695 ; Mornand Vingt-deux artistes du livre pp. 45-46 “Daphnis et Chloé fut pour Bonnard l’occasion de montrer toute la souplesse de son talent non seulement par la pureté du style bien antique des personnages mais par le caractère des paysages essentiellement grecs”.
