1908Best.-Nr. 165660Madrid: Imp. de la Sección de Hidrografia 1908. With appropriate military provenance First and only contemporary edition of the first Spanish translation of Clausewitz presentation copy inscribed by one of the translators at the head of the prologue: "A mi primer coronel hoy entusiasta é ilustrado general Don Joaquín Milans del Bosch Abilio Barbero." Scarce with just two locations recorded on WorldCat Biblioteca Nacional de España and Universidad Complutense de Madrid. In 1908 two students of the Escuela Superior first lieutenants Abilio Barbero and Juan Seguí published a partial translation of On War selecting passages they considered most relevant to contemporary Spanish military debate in the aftermath of the "Disaster of 1898". While Clausewitz was frequently cited in Spanish military education his work was often criticized for failing to provide the infantry-focused and colonial guidance sought by officers engaged in Morocco; a complete Spanish translation did not appear until the Second World War Baquer pp. 313-14. Barbero 1881-1940 entered the army in 1898 rose to colonel by 1925 and served with distinction in the Rif War later becoming chief of staff of the Third General Inspectorate. His co-translator Seguí 1888-1936 formerly military attaché in Brussels and Paris became a leading Falangist in Spanish Morocco and played a prominent role in the nationalist coup of July 1936 before being killed the following month. The recipient Joaquín Milans del Bosch 1854-1936 had a long and controversial career serving in the Third Carlist War the Philippines and later as captain general of Catalonia. Closely aligned with King Alfonso XIII and Miguel Primo de Rivera he was responsible for the military suppression of the 1919 La Canadenca strike and later led an aggressive anti-Catalanist campaign. After the failure of the July 1936 coup he remained in Madrid where he was arrested and executed.

1927Best.-Nr. 005263Paris: Bloch and Meynial 1927. Limited First Edition. Heavy Wrappers. . Very Good Plus/Good. No. 185 of 275 copies. 4to. 32 by 24 cm. 25 tipped-in pochoir costume plates by Barbier. Lettered tissue guards. Colas 218. The artwork is all dated to the early post-World War One period into the early 1920s. Captured here is the fantasy spun by the costuming so at odds with the parsimonious theatrical zeitgeist of the present when it seems so much of classic theater and opera is willfully updated to the unglamorous present day. Not that the costumes here are entirely unrelated to the then contemporary styles -- one can discern the cross-fertilization of costuming with fashion effortlessly though through Barbier's fluent presentation. Barbier focuses on the escapist element of theater and his renderings usher us on this excursion. The plays represented include works by Rostand and Hugo among others. Original pictorial wrappers. Closed tear of joints by extremities with the longer tear at the base about 6 cm in length. Glassine dust jacket mostly intact but with several tears and chips especially by the lower portion of the rear cover and then by the spine extremities and neighboring joints. Frontis portrait of Barbier has flattened cornered crease. Otherwise the plates most importantly are very clean and bright. Bloch and Meynial unknown books

Best.-Nr. 8745First edition copy number 7 of 100 of this sumptuously illustrated version of the story of the Queen of Sheba combining illustrations by Barbier and the Abyssinian artist Michel Engueda-Work. French scholar traveller and diplomat Hughes Le Roux had transcribed parts of the Ethiopian chronicle Kebra Nagast in 1904 with the help of local scholars from a manuscript looted by the British at Maqdala and subsequently returned. The Kebra Nagast or 'The Glory of the Kings' is a fourteenth-century national epic of Ethiopia written in Geʽez by the nebure id Ishaq of Aksum. In its existing form the text is at least 700 years old and purports to trace the origins of the Solomonic dynasty a line of Ethiopian Orthodox Christian monarchs who ruled the country until 1974 to the biblical king Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. The story of the text's survival is interesting. The Battle of Maqdala the last struggle in the British Expedition to Abyssinia led to significant looting by the victorious British forces who took Emperor Tewodros II's crown along with ceremonial crosses chalices weapons and the holy icon Kwer'ata Re'esu along with two fine manuscripts of the Kebra Nagast which found their way to the British Museum catalogued as Oriental MS 818 and 819 respectively. 819 was returned to Ethiopia in 1872 on the request of the Abyssinian king who identified it as a fundamental source of law. Hugues Le Roux a French envoy from the President of the French Republic to Menyelek II King of Ethiopia later went to Addis Alem in order to see this manuscript and to obtain his permission to translate it into French. He notes in his introduction here the inscription 'This volume was returned to the King of Ethiopia by order of the Trustees of the British Museum Dec. 14th 1872'. Of the artist Michel Engueda-Work who is referred to elsewhere as an 'Abyssinian artist' almost nothing else is known but his illustrations are of course far truer to the Ethiopian style than Barbier's highly exoticised and eroticised interpretations in which Sheba is portrayed following long tradition as a white woman. Folio 328 × 250 mm 4 xiii 1 84 1 pages six plates one a frontispiece and one vignette illustration by Barbier all hand/pochoir coloured illustrations some colour six sepia plates uncoloured by Michel Engueda-Work numerous vignettes and ornaments by Louis Popineau decorative borders.

1913Best.-Nr. 195319London: C. W. Beaumont & Co. 1913. Of Nijinsky it is impossible to speak as of other artists First edition in English number 158 of 400 copies on vellum paper only. Inspired by the first season of the Ballets Russes in Paris and particularly their male lead Nijinsky Barbier moved on from his career as a costume and set designer to publish this his first book. An edition in French was published earlier the same year. Nijinsky was one of the most famous dancers of his time and his virtuosity renewed public interest in ballet. He was not only known for his talent as a dancer but also as an actor able to "expand a simple choreographic design into a rich dramatic portrait" Cohen p. 646. The plates depict scenes including Nijinsky's most famous characters. The pochoir technique involves hand-stencilling the design and is complex and labour-intensive. The manual element of the process means that no two impressions are the same producing results that lie between prints and original paintings. Consequently pochoir plates are often released in a limited run as here. The use of gouache allows the colours to remain remarkably strong and vibrant. This copy comes from the collection of Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts whose posthumous bookplate is included. Quarto. With 12 coloured pochoir plates line drawings in the text. Original pictorial wrappers front wrapper lettered in blue and illustrated in black and yellow edges untrimmed leaves unopened. Housed in custom blue quarter morocco solander box. Wrappers soiled and rubbed skinning to foot of rear wrapper inner hinges repaired occasional faint foxing to contents. A very good copy. Selma Jeanne Cohen ed.
