DUC D'ARENBURG - B.H. BRESLAUER COPY OF THIS ESSENTIAL HISTORY OF THE EARLIEST PRINTERS CONTAINING VERY SIGNIFICANT DOCUMENTATION OF GUTENBERG IN STRASSBURG THE MOST IMPORTANT BEING THE FIRST REPRODUCTIONS OF DOCUMENTS GIVEN AT THE MEMORABLE TRIAL OF 1439 IN WHICH GUTENBERG HIMSELF WAS PLAINTIFF. THE DOCUMENTS ARE NOW DESTROYED AND EVERY SUBSEQUENT REPRODUCTION DEPENDS ON THE PRESENT WORK. OUR COPY CONTAINS TWO EXTRA PLATES NOT FOUND IN ORDINARY COPIES. According to Pierce Butler Laborde's work is "of permanent historical scholarly value." This sentiment is shared by Frederick Goff who described Laborde's work as "valuable for us since it contains lithographic facsimiles of several of the important passages in the testimonies of the lawsuit then extant which is the nearest thing we have to the original documents." The text of the Gutenberg lawsuit is reprinted "verbatini et literatim" along with a French translation. Also included are reproductions of the WATERMARKS of said documents. All of these precious documents were incinerated during the Prussian bombardment of Strassburg in 1870. The additional full-page plates in the present copy are stylized reproductions of the woodcuts utilized as models for the steel engravings on pp. 16 and 17. "Whereas Laborde's conclusions have in great part been superseded these excellent and faithful reproductions will always possess a high historical interest. . The work opens with a bibliographical essay on the hypotheses of previous writers and concludes with the results arrived at by the author himself. These are: That 1410 is the probable date of the discovery of printing in the Low Countries; that 1423 is that of the invention of movable types by "Lorenz Coster" at Haarlem; that 1436 is the authentic date of the first experiments of Gutenberg at Strasbourg ; and that 1452 is the certain date of the invention by Gutenberg of cast types at Mayence sic. The rest of the book is occupied by an attempt to establish these theses and there are many facsimiles of type and woodcuts." Bigmore & Wyman I 410. Laborde transcribed not without errors the texts of the lawsuit of Strassburg resident Jerge Dritzehen against Gutenberg; these were derived from six entries in different parts of three several manuscript registers in the city of Strassburg. According to Laborde the first of these were written in a volume described by later scholars as "Vol. A" which consisted of two quires each of 42 sheets or 84 leaves in total; they were covered by a sheet of parchment which had become yellow and soiled; on the recto was written "Dicta. Testium magni consilij Anno Domini M.CCC. Tricesimo noni." The paper which had turned yellow and brown on the edge measured 10 x 9 inches. The second volume "Vol. B" was bound in parchment and consisted of 24 sheets or 48 leaves of paper sewn together 43 of the leaves being written upon. According to Laborde everything connected with the 1439 Lawsuit was written by the same scribe. Laborde's three illustrations of the watermarks two different bull's head and one balance were printed in sepia; the excellent facsimiles of eleven different passages from the Lawsuit were made from lithographic tracings. All were published here for the first time. THE AUTHOR: Marquis de Laborde 1807-1869 studied at Gottingen and afterwards travelled extensively in the East. He subsequently held several diplomatic positions and was curator of the antiquities in the Louvre from 1848 to 1854 and director of the Archives of the Empire from 1856 until his death.

Costumes tailleur de fantaisie ornés de colifichets Croquis La Gazette du Bon ton 1922 n° 4. Original prints used to illustrate the Gazette du Bon ton one of the most attractive and influential 20th century fashion magazines featuring the talents of French artists and other contributors from the burgeoning Art Deco movement. A celebrated fashion magazine established in 1912 by Lucien Vogel la Gazette du Bon ton appeared until 1925 with a hiatus from 1915 to 1920 due to the war the editor-in-chief having been called up for service. It consisted of 69 issues printed in only 2000 copies each and notably illustrated with 573 color plates and 148 sketches of the models of the great designers. Right from the start this sumptuous publication was aimed at bibliophiles and fashionable society Françoise Tétart-Vittu La Gazette du Bon ton in Dictionnaire de la mode 2016 and was printed on fine vergé paper using a type cut specially for the magazine by Georges Peignot known as Cochin later used in 1946 by Christian Dior. The prints were made using stencils heightened in colors some highlightened in gold or palladium. The story began in 1912 when Lucien Vogel a man of the world involved in fashion he had already been part of the fashion magazine Femina decided with his wife Cosette de Brunhoff the sister of Jean creator of Babar to set up the Gazette du Bon ton subtitled at the time: Art fashion frivolities. Georges Charensol noted the reasoning of the editor-in-chief: In 1910' he observed there was no really artistic fashion magazine nothing representative of the spirit of the time. My dream was therefore to make a luxury magazine with truly modern artists I was assured of success because when it comes to fashion no country on earth can compete with France. Un grand éditeur d'art. Lucien Vogel in Les Nouvelles littéraires n° 133 May 1925. The magazine was immediately successful not only in France but also in the United States and Latin America. At first Vogel put together a team of seven artists: André-Édouard Marty and Pierre Brissaud followed by Georges Lepape and Dammicourt as well as eventually his friends from school and the School of Fine Arts like George Barbier Bernard Boutet de Monvel and Charles Martin. Other talented people soon came flocking to join the team: Guy Arnoux Léon Bakst Benito Boutet de Monvel Umberto Brunelleschi Chas Laborde Jean-Gabriel Domergue Raoul Dufy Édouard Halouze Alexandre Iacovleff Jean Émile Laboureur Charles Loupot Chalres Martin Maggie Salcedo. These artist mostly unknown when Lucien Vogel sought them out later became emblematic and sought-after artistic figures. It was also they who worked on the advertising drawings for the Gazette. The plates put the spotlight on and celebrate dresses by seven designers of the age: Lanvin Doeuillet Paquin Poiret Worth Vionnet and Doucet. The designers provided exclusive models for each issue. Nonetheless some of the illustrations are not based on real models but simply on the illustrator's conception of the fashion of the day. The Gazette du Bon ton was an important step in the history of fashion. Combining aesthetic demands with the physical whole it brought toge Lucien Vogel éditeur unknown
