Type design by Roger Excoffon. B. Arthaud Paris 1954. 96 pp. Quarto 11 x 9 in./28 x 23 cm First edition. Vol. II in the collection "Les Imaginaires". Hardbound with illustrated boards.

BOOK CONDITION: Near Fine; a solid tight clean copy with light wear to edges and corners light tap to upper spine; in a Fine clear acetate dust jacket with slight wear at crown of spine including a tiny chip and tear to acetate; in a Fine yellow belly band with signs of uneven fading at spine; housed in a Near Fine brown cardboard slipcase original showing light rubbing wear and fading alog margins. The scarce hardbound issue of Ronis's classic! Before his death in 2009 Willy Ronis was one of the last of the surviving documentary photographers in the humanist tradition of Kertesz and Cartier-Bresson. During the 40s and 50s he was a prolific chronicler of many corners of French social life especially the working people of Paris. He tended to wear his politics on his sleeve often photographing strikes demonstrations occupations of factories and the like. For this reason he also kept his distance from the American and British press. In this scarce volume Pierre Mac Orlan offers his paean to the authenticity of these working class neighborhoods of Belleville-Menilmontant. Ronis discovered the area through Daniel Pipart a painter and friend of his wife who kept a studio there. He visited and photographed regularly from 1947-1950 with the aim of one day making a book from the images. Ronis's images like countless Realist artists before him aim to capture the poetry of the streets. Ever respectful of his subjects Ronis's gaze is always affectionate and discrete. Unlike many documentary photographers who search out freaks and weirdoes Ronis seeks out the typical and the ordinary. Yet beneath the surface one senses a subtle sense of melancholy and muted nostalgia. A masterpiece of book design and typography! The images contained in Belleville-Menilmontant are certainly among Ronis's finest and provide an essential point of entry into his work. Included in MM. Auer: 802 Photo Books. B. Artaud hardcover
1926Best.-Nr. 177550London: George G. Harrap & Co. 1926. A handsomely produced publication a reissue of the 1910 deluxe edition with a new elaborate binding featuring intricate onlays and text reproduced in Pogany's manuscript-style lettering. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner was among the artist's most ambitious exercises in total book design drawing consciously on the tradition of medieval illuminated manuscripts. As Richard Dalby observes "Willy Pogány was Dulac's most successful European contemporary during the highest peak of the Golden Age of book illustration. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner was his most ornate and impressive production with hand-scripted text full-page black and white drawings and colour plates tipped-in on grey matte paper. This combination of illustration and calligraphic text by the artist was rarely repeated" p. 87. Quarto. Title page printed in colour 20 tipped-in halftone colour plates in-text illustrations in black white and green all by Willy Pogany.

Portrait photographique de Claudine (actrice Polaire) en écolière en frontispice.

Couverture illustrée en couleurs par Wely (les deux plats et le dos conservés). Exccellent état. Très beau papier de Hollande. ÉDITION ORIGINALE. UN DES RARES EXEMPLAIRES SUR HOLLANDE, CELUI-CI PARAPHÉ PAR WILLY ET NUMÉROTÉ "N° HUIT [signé] WILLY" Les exemplaires sur grands papiers ne sont pas annoncés sur les exemplaires ordinaires. Il doit y avoir une dizaine d'exemplaires seulement sur ce papier. Le volume contient au début la plaidoirie de Maître J. Paul-Boncour pour la maîtresse du Prince Jean. L'ouvrage fut condamné. Cette première édition est la seule complète, les suivantes ayant été expurgées des passages les plus scabreux. "Willy est plus sourd encore que sa vertu n'est muette !... Du moins, cette Maîtresse du Prince Jean, a un mérite : elle ne prendra pas son lecteur en traître. Elle arrive à lui munie d'un casier judiciaire propre à le mettre en garde : dès avant son apparition, elle fut poursuivie, jugée et condamnée ; aussi, ceux qui voudront aller plus loin que la couverture du livre et en sortiront le rouge au front sauront à qui s'en prendre ; ils auront été prévenus. Je sais bien que l'éditeur, malin, a placé en tète du livre la délicieuse plaidoirie où M. Paul-Boncourt entreprit de démontrer à la justice de son pays que la Maîtresse du prince Jean n'était, mon Dieu, pas si immorale qu'on le voulait prétendre ; je sais bien qu'il l'a fait avec un luxe étonnant de verbe, d'esprit et d'aimable sophisme, et qu'il a réussi à être persuasif puisque je m'y suis laissé prendre et que j'ai lu le livre. Cette lecture m'a édifié — si j'ose dire — et je puis affirmer, en connaissance de cause que ce roman, même « épousseté », est terriblement scabreux. Je le sais d'autant mieux que j'ai lu jusqu'à la dernière page — il me faut faire mon mea culpa — car trop souvent le rire et le sourire désarmèrent ma colère ; et ainsi j'ai connu complètement les aventures de ce prince fantôme et de cette trop réelle et plantureuse Gaétane, et j'ai fréquenté le poète carottier Lauban, et Smiley, le littérateur, et aussi l'immuable Maugis, Journaliste notoire, qui ressemble à Willy comme un frère et qui en est très fier, le monstre ! J'ai vu, J'ai lu tout cela, et malgré moi j'y ai pris plaisir. Du moins, pour m'en punir et pour me réhabiliter à mes yeux. Je devais mettre en garde mes contemporains contre la séduction de la Maîtresse du prince Jean, leur affirmer que c'est un livre à ne pas lire et, puisque j'ai été victime de ma curiosité, empêcher les autres de céder à la leur, car s'ils ouvrent le livre, ils sont perdus, ils feront comme moi, ils iront jusqu'au bout." in Le Figaro du 31 juillet 1903, article signé Frédéric Charpin.

1950Best.-Nr. 000365New York: Gnome Press 1950. First Edition . Cloth. Near Fine/Very Good Plus. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Cartier Edd jacket. New York: Gnome Press 1950. First Edition. Introduction by Willy Ley. Edited by Martin Greenberg this copy signed inscribed and presented by him to Arthur C. Clarke. Octavo 351 pp. Purple cloth-backed gray cloth boards with silver spine titling and blindstamped launching-spaceship and star motif on purple margin. Pictorial dustjacket by sci-fi illustration luminary Edd Cartier. A near fine book with only minor page edge soiling and a trace of partial spine fade in a Very Good jacket showing light perimeter wear. Singular copy inscribed and presented to Arthur C. Clarke by Greenberg with provenance of unimpeachable order accompanying the book. An increasingly classic collection of short stories by some of the now-timeless sci-fi names. Willy Ley: "Here is a different type of anthology. This book taken in its entirety tells a story: the conquest of space. Moving from man's first attempt to reach the moon to the exploration of the ends of the universe these stories are among the finest ever published." - Willy Ley. Hailed by critics at the time of its publication as a quantum leap forward in both quality and concept for science fiction anthologies Martin Greenberg's thematically edited Men Against the Stars is a collection of twelve lengthy stories whose authors read like a Who's Who of Golden Age sci-fi including Isaac Asimov Murray Leinster A.E. Van Vogt L. Ron Hubbard Hubbard's "When Shadows Fall" is here and E.M. Hull. Not a slap-dash aggregation to get to the printer quickly Greenberg's collection was a thoroughly contemplated and planned project a selection of the very finest available stories on theme ranging back as far as 1939. Nicely complimented by a Cartier's funky pure genre period stylization jacket. A sci-fi presentation copy of the highest sort that of a veteran and astute editor to a future superstar. Arthur C. Clarke's reputation at the time was already becoming established and Greenberg shows the admiration in his skilled critical eye for Clarke's sci-fi talents in his presentation remark.
