Fabrication française par Walery Paris. Minor crease at bottom right corner about fine. A provocative pose of the entertainer Josephine Baker who banned in America made her mark in entertainment history presenting her innovative dance and costuming to Paris of the 1920s. During her early career Baker was among the most celebrated performers to headline the revues of the Folies Bergère in Paris. Her performance in its 1927 revue Un vent de folie caused a sensation in the city. Her costume consisting only of a short skirt of artificial bananas and a beaded necklace became an iconic image and a symbol both of the Jazz Age and the Roaring Twenties.

Paris et ses environs 1861. Grand Album représentant les Vues et les Monuments les plus curieux de Paris et les Sites les plus remarquables des Environs

1861réf. 42240Paris: Maison Martinet 1861. Oblong folio. 10 1/2 x 14 1/4 inches. Lithographed title page with a view of the Palais de l'Industrie and 25 tinted lithographed plates haphazardly numbered but complete. Finely bound in full brown morocco spine with raised bands forming six compartments boards and spine ruled gilt. Marbled endpapers gilt dentelles. All edges gilt A striking portfolio of mid-19th-century Parisian views produced during a period of intense visual and infrastructural transformation. A rare album documenting the architectural and urban transformation of Paris during the Second Empire. Issued by Martinet a leading publisher of illustrated works in mid-19th-century France the album captures many of the city's most recognizable monuments and public spaces as they appeared during Baron Haussmann's radical redesign of Paris. Among the views included are the Arc de Triomphe the Panthéon the Jardin du Palais Royal the Colonne de la Place Vendôme the newly rebuilt Louvre and the Palais de l'Industrie erected for the 1855 Exposition Universelle and a signature project of Napoleon III's modernization campaign. Published at a time when Paris was being refashioned into a model imperial capital the present work offers a compelling visual record of the city's architectural self-image. The use of tinted lithography lends the scenes a quiet almost romantic clarity emphasizing both the monumental and the picturesque. Maison Martinet unknown books

[SIAMESE AMBASSADORS IN PARIS]ABAA

Relation de ce qui s'est passé a l'audience des Mandarins

1686réf. 4982Toulouse: Chez Jean Boude 1686. Soft cover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. 8 pp. Bound in marbled wrappers and housed in a fine red morocco case. $3850 Extremely rare first and only edition of this detailed popular newsletter concerning the contemporary reception of three Siamese ambassadors in Paris in September of 1686. The report gives a full description of their entrance their itinerary and the names and qualities of the individual ambassadors - whose 9-month stay in northern France between 1686 and 1687 must have provoked enormous interest. Providing the reader with some background the work notes that the King of Siam having been only recently convinced of the greatness of Louis XIV and the French nation has decided to send three more mandarins as envoys. "Ces Mandarins sont tres-honnestes les meilleures gens du monde doux civils & complaisans de tres-bonne & agreeable humeur .". According to this account they arrived at Brest on the 18th of June and reached Paris only on the 12th August. On the 'first day of this month of September' the delegation was officially presented to Louis XIV. Its centerpiece was the King of Siam's letter to Louis written on a blade of gold encased in a golden boëte bottle and poised atop a golden chalice all of which was carried aloft on a machine by 12 Swiss guards. The ambassadors themselves it is recorded took care to cover the machine with their parasols. Upon meeting the king "ils firent une profonde reverence en leur maniere se prosterant & mettant leurs mains sur leur vissage". The gifts presented by the envoys are notable for their overwhelming Japanese provenance a closed center of trade to the French and are accompanied here by occasional offhand remarks. Two vases of tombac a flexible alloy similar to brass are thought "presque aussi précieux que l'or" and are imputed to be "what the ancients called electrum"; two samurai swords presented by the King of Japan to the King of Siam are accompanied by the remark "they say that those who know how to handle these swords properly can cut a man's body in half; it's this that makes them beyond price"; etc. An antique marble sculpture apparently depicts a Chinese man whom the Siamese call To inghoing; "we belivee that this is the same as he whom we call Confuscius". The writer of the newsletter seems surprisingly well-informed and is certainly aware of the plans of the official retinue suggesting a source perhaps close to the court. "They are presently busy seeing the beauties and the riches of the Capital of our Kingdom. Around February after they have had their final royal audience they will return and recount all that they have seen and assuredly they will not forget what they have learned and understood of the suprising reunion of Protestants to the Roman religion for the King of Siam having proposed Louis le Grand as a model in all things and desiring to be able to make his entire kingdom French.has demanded that the King send him missionaries persons experienced in warfare wise men and men learned in many arts." Following this account of the ambassadors' visit is a brief 'Description du Royaume de Siam' - with much reference to Arab and Moorish settlements to the Siamese love of music to their 'superbly-dressed women' etc. Thanks to royal decree Siam enjoys public schools in which laws and religion are taught in the vernacular but the sciences are reserved for a learned tongue. Inspired no doubt by the Chinese rites controversty the commentator notes that despite their plural deities the Siamese do believe in one Creator of the Earth and the Heavens and they do maintain that the world will end in fire. The final leaf of the work is occupied with a discussion of the 'names and qualities' of the amabassadors. OCLC records only the copy at Cornell. OCLC 64004509 Chez Jean Boude paperback books

Les gens sont bien plus beaux quils croient. Vive leur vraie figure. Portraits. A ressemblance extraite à ressemblance cuite et confite dans la mémoire à ressemblance éclatée dans la mémoire de Mr. Jean Dubuffet. Du mardi 7 au 31 octobre. At the base corresponding to the top: Plus beaux quils veulent/ Beaux malgré eux.

réf. B68262-2Paris 1947. Poster with manuscript text and portrait drawing at the center printed on salmon-colored wove stock in offset lithography. 580 x 400 mm. 22 7/8 x 15 5/8 inches. 2 cancelled taxe daffichage stamps affixed at blank portion at lower left as usual. The extremely rare graphically riveting poster for one of the most radical exhibitions in postwar France Dubuffets art brut portraits of Parisian intellectuals at the Galerie René Drouin in 1948. Initially the series was based on personalities in the literary salon of Florence Gould to which Dubuffet had been introduced by Jean Paulhan including Paulhan himself Pierre Benoit Marcel Jouhandeau and Paul Léautaud; it was then extended to include other friends and acquaintances such as Antonin Artaud Francis Ponge Henri Michaux and Jean Fautrier. Dubuffets aggressive graffiti-style caricatural portraits of 1946-47 are in part caricature in the simplest sense a mocking variant on the pantheons of artists that had become sober clichés of even radical French art as in Surrealist group portraits. But Dubuffets portraits manifest the revolt and revulsion of intellectuals: mental energy and will are now all that matter and the body can indeed must. go to hell. His writers and intellectuals are pathetic monsters their features reduced to pop-eyed scrawls their aplomb prodded into jumping-jack spasms. Yet since grotesque harshness and imbalanced disturbance are in Dubuffets view tokens of authenticity to be portrayed by him with scar-like contours and inept anatomy is perversely to be made glamorous High and Low. A few indetectible very short clean marginal tears mended on verso; a bright unfolded copy. Paris, 1947. books
