1942réf. 373129Neuchâtel: Éditions de la Baconn¡ère 1942. First edition no. 1993 of the trade issue edition of 4080. Frontispiece portrait of Aragon after a drawing by Matisse. 55 1 8 pp. 8vo.

First edition no. 1993 of the trade issue edition of 4080. Frontispiece portrait of Aragon after a drawing by Matisse. 55 1 8 pp. 8vo. This long-form Aragon poem divided into seven sections was the third iteration of Éditions de la Baconniere's "rouge" series "Les poètes de Cahiers du Rhône" notable for their red wrappers and limited issue. This copy is further distinguished by a custom morocco binding n purple and black morocco by the celebrated book artist Georges Leroux who had been a poet prior to becoming a binder in 1959 A pencil note on an interior page cites a 1914 Pablo Picasso painting titled "Tête" but the design does not correspond to work of that title or imagery from that period. Instead it very closely resembles Picasso's 1958 painting "Tête de femme" - subsequently reworked as a series of linocut prints of the same name in 1962 - a timeframe which also aligns more closely with the start of Leroux's bookbinding career. A gorgeous example of French bespoke binding by a master of the craft. Éditions de la Baconn¡ère unknown

réf. lec-0011Just twenty eight when Louis Aragon wrote this magical novel he compares a poet's love for his city to a peasant's love for his land. A leading Surrealist writer Aragon was keenly aware of the hidden life concealed by every object great and small. The Peasant of Paris combines minute descriptions of scenes and objects humorous anecdotes and philosophical reflections: all to create a reality that goes far beyond the literal or visual. Another love affair with Paris: that of the renowned artist and photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson who chose this book to illustrate with seven enchanting lithographs of Paris and a photogravure portrait of Louis Aragon. Seven lithographs and a photogravure by Henri Cartier-Bresson. Edition limited to 300 numbered copies. Each signed by Henri Cartier-Bresson. The text and seven lithographs are printed on mould-made paper from the Arches mill in Epinal France. The photogravure plate was made and the photogravures were editioned by Jon Goodman at his studio in Hadley Massachusetts. The book and slipcase are bound in gray-green Japanese fabric.

1944réf. 21641S.l. Paris: Éditions F.T.P.F. Francs-Tireurs et Partisans Français 1944. Limited Edition. Near Fine. THE EMBOSSED TYPOGRAPHY OF THE RESISTANCE PRESS HE SURREALIST TRANSFORMED INTO A WITNESS OF WAR. A primary artifact of the French literary Resistance this copy is the premiere example No. 1 of 25 of the special issue on Papier Alfa. Composed during the German occupation Aragon's poem is a harrowing and defiant invocation of national identity notable for its early and direct naming of the deportations and Auschwitz. Published by the Éditions F.T.P.F.-an imprint of the armed Resistance-this pamphlet was produced under the semi-clandestine conditions of the Liberation era. The title typography is executed in a distinctive tactile relief reflecting the urgent and irregular printing constraints of wartime France. CONDITION: Near Fine -- An exceptional survival for such a fragile pamphlet. The octavo is tight and square with a clean text block showing only light even age-toning. A small chip is noted at the lower edge of the rear wrap and a faint pencil notation appears at the lower corner of the final page. The original glassine wrapper is present and well-preserved having been stored separately to protect the tactile embossed title. SCHOLARLY INFLUENCES: The Witness of Auschwitz: Composed during the German occupation Aragon's poem is notable for its early and direct naming of the deportations and the camps. It represents a critical juncture where Surrealist poetry transformed into political testimony. Tactile Typography: The title is executed in a distinctive tactile relief reflecting the urgent and irregular printing constraints of wartime France. This 'raised printing' is a physical fingerprint of clandestine production. The No. 1 Specimen: As the first copy of the most limited state this specimen was likely intended for a high-ranking member of the Resistance or a central figure in Aragon's immediate Surrealist circle. Author: Louis Aragon was the leading poetic voice of the clandestine Resistance. Je vous salue ma France was written as the "Chant National" for the Liberation. Bibliographic Scarcity: While major institutions hold the standard issue this tirage de tête of 25 copies is effectively unrecorded in major bibliographical databases. It represents a foundational acquisition for any archive specializing in WWII Clandestine Imprints or French Modernism. While OCLC records 7 institutional holdings for the standard issue none specify this limited 25-copy state. KEY FEATURES Limitation: Copy No. 1 of only 25 numbered copies on Papier Alfa. Visuals: Unique embossed and tactile title typography; raised printing visible on recto. Imprint: Éditions F.T.P.F. affiliated with the Forces Françaises de l'Intérieur. Historical: Direct references to the Resistance imprisonment and Auschwitz. Specs: In-8° 8 unnumbered pages; 21 cm. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -- Louis Aragon was the leading poetic voice of the clandestine Resistance. Je vous salue ma France was written as the 'Chant National' for the Liberation. This specific printing by the F.T.P.F. the armed wing of the Communist Resistance highlights the intersection of political militancy and high-art production. As Copy No. 1 this specimen was likely intended for a high-ranking member of the Resistance or a central figure in the Surrealist/Communist circle.

1500réf. 007113Spain 1500. No Binding. Very Good. A well-preserved vellum leaf from a late medieval Iberian Gradual of Antiphonal written in a clear Gothic textura hand with square neumes on four-line red staves. The text is taken from the Passion narrative of Christ in Gethsemane including the phrases "Vigilate et orate ut non intretis in tentationem" and "Pater mi: si possibile est transeat a me calix iste" identifying it as part of the Holy Week liturgy very likely Maundy Thursday or the Tenebrae offices. Recto and verso each contain six lines of text and music. The script shows the characteristic angularity and compressed minims associated with late 15th-century Castillian or Aragonese monastic production. The musical notation is composed of uniform square notes in dark brown ink the staves ruled in red. Margins generous indicating the leaf was not trimmed. Vellum is clean and supple Some minor wrinkling and cockling small patch of adhesive residue at corners and faint offsetting but overall with strong dark text and notation and excellent survival of ruling and musical lines.
