OCTAVE UZANNE 181-1931 was a 19th-century French bibliophile writer publisher and journalist. He founded the Société des Bibliophiles Contemporaines of which he was president. In the early 1890s Uzanne was considered to be ". the best authority that book lovers know on subjects specially interesting to book lovers". In contrast to most bibliophiles of his time Uzanne was chiefly interested in the creation of new luxurious bibliophile works collaborating closely with printers binders typographers and artists especially the Symbolists and early Art Nouveau artists. Among them were such painters as James McNeill Whistler Adolphe Lalauze and Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly. Uzanne's bibliophile activity in the early 1880s coincided with the gradual abandonment of manual methods of printing illustrations kin favour of photomechanized methods. As a journalist sometimes employing the pseudonym "la Cagoule" Uzanne wrote for L'Écho de Paris Le Gaulois and other newspapers. In addition for other French and foreign magazines like The Studio Magazine of Art and Scribner's Magazine for which he wrote in 1894 an article "The End of Books" which he thought would come because of the rise of phonography where he predicted the rise of radio and television. The original illustrated La fin des Livres is included in Contes des Bibliophiles offered here. Uzanne was fascinated by modern technology and the possibilities it offered for the reproduction and dissemination of words sounds and images which was evidenced not only in that article or in his groundbreaking work in book publishing but also in an article he wrote in 1893 for the French newspaper Le Figaro about a visit he made to US President Grover Cleveland and the inventor Thomas Edison during the EXPO Chicago 1893 where he witnessed the Kinetograph shortly before it went public. Contes Pour les Bibliophiles offered here was translated into English as Tales for bibliophiles Chicago The Caxton Club 1929. ALBERT ROBIDA 1848-1926 was a French illustrator etcher lithographer caricaturist and novelist. He edited and published La Caricature magazine for 12 years. Through the 1880s he wrote an acclaimed trilogy of futuristic novels. These works drew comparison with Jules Verne. Unlike Verne he proposed inventions integrated into everyday life not creations of mad scientists and he imagined the social developments that arose from them often with accuracy: social advancement of women mass tourism pollution etc. His La Guerre au vingtième siècle describes modern warfare with robotic missiles and poison gas. His Téléphonoscope was a flat screen television display that delivered the latest news 24-hours a day the latest plays courses and teleconferences. GEORGE AURIOL 1863-1938 was a French poet songwriter graphic designer type designer and Art Nouveau artist. He worked in many media and created illustrations for the covers of magazines books and sheet music. Ancienne Maison Quantin, Librairies-Imprimeries Reunis hardcover books
