1919Best.-Nr. 004965England 1919. Cloth. Near Fine. Lovely meticulously rendered vignette illustrations framing the key letter on each page and on a few pages two vignettes. Oblong 9 by 13 cm. 28 pp. The album opens to a particularly nice pen and ink drawing of a schooner framed with highly decorative foliate baroque ornamentation. The first poem is Kipling's "If" each letter device accompanied by a painting of a different type of sail boat or ship. Ship motives are used again in "Love at Sea" by Swinburne. Another Kipling poem "The Explanation" is enlivened with paintings of colorful expressive fish. In our judgment these are the most charismatic of the illustrations. Other poems include Swinburne's "Rondel" "Before Sunset" "Song" and "Child's Song"; and some verses by Sappho. Other illustrative motives take in dragons flowers and floral daipers butterflies and coasts. The poems are rendered in a neat calligraphic hand and it is very easy to imagine this manuscript as something that might have been published as a gift book. unknown books

2006I "fanciulli selvaggi" incarnano la speranza di un impossibile ritorno alla natura, a una selvatichezza libera e incontrollata, e interpretano un mito che continua a parlare alle nostre coscienze. Il tema che questo saggio si propone di affrontare si concentra sul rapporto tra l'idea di feral child espressa da Kipling nel celeberrimo personaggio di Mowgli e quella che emerge nelle opere del narratore e poeta australiano David Malouf. Mowgli cela in sé un'idea di conciliazione, ma anche di violento contrasto tra la maturità inglese e l'infanzia indiana del suo autore, sintetizzate in una identità imperiale. Per contro la visione offerta da Malouf è quella di un puer in grado di destabilizzare, di mettere in discussione identità e ruoli imperiali acquisiti come inderogabili. Da un lato, quindi, si analizza un mito coloniale e, dall'altro, una sua sfuggente ed elusiva interpretazione postcoloniale. Matteo Baraldi collabora con il Centro Studi Omeoglotti dell'Università di Bologna occupandosi principalmente di letteratura e cultura australiana. Autori: Matteo Baraldi.

Tout commence en 1919 pour beaucoup la révolution apportée par les Editions MORNAY fut l'utilisation systématique de l'illustration pour les ouvrages édités par cette maison.Il faut savoir que jusqu'alors l'illustration était réservée aux editions dites "de Luxe" qualificatif qui indiquait à la fois un soin tout particulier apporté à l'édition à la composition mais aussi un prix élevé qui ne permettait pas à tous d'acquerir ces ouvrages et les réservés ainsi aux classes les plus aisées de la société.En ce début de XXeme siécle un certain nombre de maison d'édition se lancérent sur le créneau de ce que l'on appela le livre de "demi-luxe" eut égard aux prix plus modéré pratiqué pour ces ouvrages. Ouvrages qui pour autant permettaient de découvrir des auteurs de tout premier ordre et étaient imprimé avec une attention toute particuliére sur des velins de qualité. Pour autant les illustrations n'étaient qu'exception dans ce genre d'edition.Antoinette et Georges MORNAY ont pensés une organisation qui allait bien au-delà de ce "coté visible de l'iceberg" que fut le recours permanent aux illustrateurs. Leur concept de maison d'edition etait global et trés "marketing" dirions nous aujourd'hui :- Prix de vente trés bas augmentant néanmoins au fil des années avec le succés mais qui n'acceptait aucun compris tant sur la qualité de l'impression papier gravure etc. que sur le choix des auteurs et des illustrateurs .- Création d'un Service de Presse qui par les livres offert aux journalistes donna aux Editions MORNAY une publicité non négligeable.- Campagne de publicité pouvant être de grande envergure Article de Maurice CONSTANTIN-MEYER sur Maria Chapdelaine dans l'Illustration de NOEL 1931De tout cela il nous reste aujourd'hui un formidable ensemble de textes et d'auteurs comprenant 112 ouvrages edités de 1919 à 1935 qui retrace l'évolutions de ces editions du livre illustré moderne : des bois gravé en noir jusqu'aux aquarelles au pochoir.
