ref. 51-6257Paris: circa 1907. Original drawing for a poster or publication.before the text. Two marginal tears with loss.40 x 30.7 cm. The politician and cartoonist Marius Savignol 1866-1938 contributed to many early 20th Century satirical publications such as "L'Assiette au beurre " creating the character of César Tripet.« Le ‘Denier de Saint-Pierre’ est l’expression la plus typique de la participation de tous les fidèles aux initiatives de charité de l’évêque de Rome envers l’Église universelle. La valeur de ce geste n’est pas seulement pratique mais aussi symbolique … » Benoît XVIExpertise by: Elvire Poulain-Marquis Cabinet Poulain Paris.Pharmacist and politician Savignol was also highly appreciated for his caricatures. He collaborated on the most important journals in this genre at the beginning of the 20th century such as Le Rire Le Sourire Les Galonnés etc. and also L'Assiette au Beurre for which from 1907 he created the character of César Tripet a disrespectful and humorous vagabond. The creation of this character earned him great admiration particularly from Nadar who became one of his great friends.Conseiller municipal de Saint-Lys de 1896 à 1904 et de 1919 à 1925 Maire de Saint-Lys; de 1907 à 1919; Conseiller d’arrondissement de 1907 à 1913 Conseiller Général du canton de Saint-Lys ;de 1913 à 1937 Sénateur de la Haute-Garonne de 1928 à 1938.Marius SAVIGNOL a apporté dans la satire politique une verve et un talent que rehaussent un certain courage et une forte conviction. Plusieurs de ses compositions ont eu un grand retentissement en France et à l'étranger. Il eut comme humoriste des débuts qui ne permettaient pas de prévoir l'allure que devait prendre ensuite son talent. Ce fut tout d'abord au Sourire et au Rire qu'il collabora. Mais il ne put s’accommoder longtemps du caractère futile de ces journaux où règne un esprit tout de convention où l'idée est rétrécie et dont les grands sentiments sont bannis.Le genre de l'Assiette au Beurre lui convenait mieux. Savignol trouva là un milieu plus favorable. Il fit plusieurs numéros de cette feuille : César Tripet Le Couac de Chante-Clair Le Syndicat des Ouvriers du Trône Le Drapeau. La création du personnage de César Tripet lui valut de sérieux encouragements en particulier l'amitié de Nadar qui marqua dès ce moment une véritable affection pour lui. Le Couac de Chante-Clair entraîna la saisie de l'Assiette au Beurre en Allemagne. Quelques mois plus tard on brûlait à la frontière espagnole un numéro spécial sur l'affaire Ferrer qui avait paru sous le titre La Question du Jour.L'artiste ne porta pas de chance aux Galonnés feuille satirique créée à Paris et dont on lui confia l'illustration. Elle vécut peu de temps.L'Assiette au Beurre ayant également disparu Savignol qui habite Toulouse se montra dès lors peu soucieux de collaborer aux feuilles parisiennes et se contenta d'envoyer ses satires politiques au Salon des Humoristes. Il exposait chaque année au Palais de Glace ; puis après la fusion à la Galerie La Boëtie.Au Palais de Glace il a donné des séries de dessins au crayon de couleur contre la guerre dont la vision le hantait. Il visait particulièrement celui qui devait provoquer la catastrophe Guillaume II auquel il consacra notamment son triptyque de 1913 : Ironie Farce Caprice. Ces dessins impressionnèrent le public ; les critiques étaient pour la plupart élogieuses cependant le triptyque déplut à certains en particulier au Courrier Européen de M. Charles Paix-Séailles au procès duquel vers la fin de la guerre la presse rappela ce fait.En avril 1914 Savignol exposa une composition Byzance satire assez vive visant les leaders politiques de l'époque : MM. Briand Millerand Barthou Poincaré Barrès Clémenceau. Paris: circa 1907 unknown

Text block good: firm complete plates preserved. A foundational monument of Georgian medieval historiography: the first published critical edition of the oldest known manuscript witness of Kartlis Tskhovreba The Georgian Chronicles the core compilation of Georgia's medieval national historical tradition. The manuscript itself known as the "Anna" copy after Queen Anna of Kakheti wife of King Alexander I who commissioned it around 1479-1495 was discovered in 1913 by the historian Ivane Javakhishvili in the family library of the Jambakur-Orbeliani house in the village of Lamiskana — the oldest surviving witness to the Kartlis Tskhovreba textual tradition predating the better-known "Queen Mariam" manuscript published by Ekvtime Taqaishvili in 1906. The Anna manuscript uniquely preserves a chronicle of the reign of Lasha-Giorgi found in no other surviving copy published here in full for the first time. The present edition prepared by the Institute of History's Philology Department under Simon Kaukhchishvili 1901-1970 reproduces the complete text together with Javakhishvili's original 1913 study an extensive new introduction on the manuscript's textual history a name index and several tipped-in photographic facsimile plates of manuscript leaves. This 1942 volume directly preceded and underpinned Kaukhchishvili's landmark two-volume critical edition of the full Kartlis Tskhovreba corpus 1955 and 1959 which remains the standard scholarly text to this day; the present wartime edition issued in a modest run of 2000 copies under difficult printing conditions represents the indispensable first publication of this particular manuscript witness and a cornerstone reference for any serious library of Georgian medieval studies Caucasian historiography or Kartvelology.
