1897ref. 74013Paris: Imprimerie Champenoispour CH. MassonH. Piazza 1897. Fine. Imprimerie Champenois pour CH. Masson H. Piazza Paris Décembre 1897 35 x 27.50 cm une feuille et une serpente Rare original color lithograph executed by Lucien Simon for L'Estampe Moderne series number 8 published in December 1897. One of 50 deluxe proofs printed on Japan paper with wide margins artist's signature in the plate publisher's blind stamp representing a child's profile in lower margin numbered stamp of the deluxe edition on verso; print preceded by a tissue guard captioned with the artist's name title and presentation text; blank tissue guard. Magnificent French monthly publication edited between May 1897 and April 1899 L'Estampe moderne consists of original chromolithographs which unlike other magazines such as Les Maîtres de l'Affiche and as stipulated on the tissue guards were created specifically by each artist for the magazine. Thus 100 prints appeared in total covering the major artistic movements of the late 19th century: Symbolism Art Nouveau Pre-Raphaelites Orientalists and Belle Epoque. Each issue of four prints was printed in 2000 copies sold at 3.50F and 100 on Japan paper offered at 10F. Henri Piazza also planned a confidential deluxe edition: 50 copies on Japan paper with wide margins and 50 in black on China paper at the considerable price of 30F. This print of handsome format is superbly printed on the most prestigious of papers: Japan. Thick silky satiny and pearlescent it contributes to making each page a work in its own right. Its quality of ink absorption and its affinity with colors also make it the ideal support for these very beautiful lithographs. The interest of French collectors in artistic posters grew in the early 1890s. Octave Uzanne to describe this fever invented the term ""affichomanie."" The poster originally popular and posted in the streets of the capital then became an art object and its ephemeral support became precious and devoted to conservation. Piazza decided to remove the poster from its advertising purpose and elevate it to the rank of a work of art in its own right on the same level as the illustrated luxury book. He thus composed a prestigious collection of entirely original works by the most prominent European artists of the moment: Georges de Feure Eugène Grasset Henri Detouche Emile Berchmans Louis Rhead Gaston de Latenay Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer Gustave-Max Stevens Charles Doudelet Hans Christiansen Henri Fantin-Latour Steinlen Ibels Engels Willette Henri Meunier Evenepoël Bellery-Desfontaines Charles Léandre etc. Handsome copy.

This print of handsome format is superbly printed on one of the most prestigious papers: China. ""Despite all its qualities China paper too insubstantial owes its reputation not to its own beauty but indeed to its particular affinities with printing ink. Its texture smooth and soft together is more apt than any other to receive a beautiful printing. This property makes China paper sought after for printing engravings."" Anatole France.

1911ref. 8431This is a rare collection of two lectures delivered by Andre Simon at Vintners' Hall in London in the early 1900's. Simon was a French-born wine merchant gourmet and prolific writer about wine. In 1908 he created 'The Wine Trade Club' with friends organizing tastings and technical lectures that foreshadowed the 'Institute of Masters of Wine' 45 years later. This collection constitutes two of six of Simon's lectures that were published. The lectures were published either separately "for distribution to the staff of provincial wine-merchants" or as a monthly supplement to issues of "Ridley's Wine and Spirit Trade Circular." The lectures published separately came in two versions - a "plain" version with paper wraps or - as offered here - a deluxe "presentation" version bound in green calf leather with gilt covers. Each lecture is a first edition published by Wyman & Sons in London. The following two lectures are included: "The Wine Trade of England: Past and Present." A Lecture Delivered at Vintners' Hall by The Wine Trade Club. 20th November 1911. "The Vineyards of the World." A Lecture Delivered at Vintners' Hall by The Wine Trade Club. 19th January 1912. Condition: Light soiling to the covers. Light wear to the top edge of both spines. Both books are firmly bound with no cracks and no loose pages. All covers are firmly attached. Both books have consistent foxing to the pages. There is a wine-themed vintage bookplate affixed to each front pastedown." Overall in Very Good- condition. Wyman & Sons
