réf. 60170Paris: Meynial 1924. One volume only of 5. 8vo. 26 x 17cm. Original pictorial wrappers. Decorative pochoir title page 12 full page pochoir plates and front cover colour illustrations by George Barbier. Complete. Georges Barbier 1882-1932 was at the forefront of the Art Deco movement and his images have become icons of an era of unsurpassed glamour elegance and decadence. His Falbalas et Fanfreluches 1922-1926 graphically display the artist's intense interest in fashion both of his and earlier ages as well as his sharp sense of humour. The issue for 1923 features the essay 'Modes' by Colette; the remaining essays are by the Comtesse de Noailles Cécile Sorel Gérard d'Houville and the Baronne de Brimont. There seems to be no direct translation of "Falbalas & Fanfreluches" but perhaps "Frills and Fripperies" works quite well. Paris: Meynial, 1924. unknown

Matching morocco-edged marbled board slipcase. --- --- --- Included is a 12-page prospectus for the reprint in Spanish and French. --- --- --- Javier Martin Santos has published several books from the 1920s by Francois Louis Schmied and George Barbier in very well done very limited editions. He also published editions of two books by Schmied that were not published during his lifetime: "Chansons de Tanger." The book with the original illustrations tempera is in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France reference RES G YA-18. The second on is Vol de Nuit by Saint-Exupéry. F.-L. Schmied began the illustrations shortly before his death leaving the work unfinished. His son Théo continued it in 1947 completing the illustrations but not the edition. They produced 38 pages distributed as follows: 20 full-page illustrations 10 smaller illustrations most with typographic design one sheet with the decorated initial "L" one illustration for the end three pencil portraits one of them of Saint-Exupéry based on the photograph that appears in the January 1932 issue of the magazine l'Aérophile and three sheets with typographic design. For the design of this edition Santos followed these pages. Five full-page illustrations are signed by F.-L. Schmied who also created the initial and two pages with typographic layout; the rest of the illustrations are by Théo as can be seen from the difference in style. --- --- --- Bilitis First published in Paris in 1894 this purports to be translations of poems by a woman named Bilitis a contemporary and acquaintance of Sappho. This caused a sensation not only because finding an intact cache of poems from a completely unknown Greek poet circa 600 B.C. would be a miracle but because of its open and sensitive exploration of lesbian eroticism. Actually Bilitis never existed. The poems were a clever forgery by Pierre Louÿs -- the "translator"; to lend weight he had even included a bibliography with bogus supporting works. Louÿs actually did have a good command of the classics and he salted Bilitis with a number of quotations from real poets including Sappho to make it even more convincing. J. B. Hare. They Barbier's Les Chansons de Bilitis and Aphrodite are celebrations of the ancient gods and their freedom from taboo. Barbier's illustrations reveal this world in full flower . When reality and imagination fused not only was it possible to travel freely wherever you liked it was also possible to encounter ancient gods and fairies. Art Deco mixed old and new in previous unseen ways . In his glass Barbier mixed an uncanny cocktail of neoclassic and modern. Hiroshi Unno Carteret Illustrés IV 251. Javier Martin Santos hardcover
