A wonderful copy of this lovely book with exquisite plates after Grandville. "The compositions of this ‘last fairy-tale' brilliantly engraved on steel by Charles Geoffroy and delicately colored form a fitting memorial to Grandville. They show that his powers remained unimpaired to the end of his short career. Grandville told his wife on the day he began these designs: ‘for too long I have kept my eyes lowered to the earth; now I want to lift them to the heavens' p. ix. The pattern which he follows is similar to that of Les fleurs animées. Nearly every plate has its beautiful lady clad in white and adorned with stars looming in the sky with varied scenes of earthly life below her. These designs Grandville's tranquil refuge from the turmoil that beset his mind are as charming as they are mysterious. Also included in the volume are an unsigned essay which remains the most considerable source of biographical information about Grandville and a fine portrait of him by Geoffroy I xvi with a border of his creations animals paying him tribute as well as his flower- and star-ladies" Ray. This posthumously published work Grandville died on March 17 1847 was originally issued in fifty parts the first part appearing in September 1849. Charles Meunier 1865-1940 began his apprenticeship as a bookbinder at age eleven. Five years later at age sixteen he joined master binder Marius-Michel's workshop. He soon grew weary of producing traditional bindings and established his own bindery in 1885 at the tender age of twenty years old. CM was thought to be innovative and instinctive with great reserves of energy and undeniable artistic talent. Drawing on traditional and modern techniques and forms of decoration Meuniere mixed classical punches. with newly fashionable incised and modeled leather panels. His output was prodigious; by 1897 he had produced roughly six hundred bindings" Art Nouveau and Art Deco Bookbinding p. 194. Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book 200. Vicaire V col. 770.
