Tipped in is an original ink portrait of Roland Dorgelès by Gus Bofa humorously captioned: ""Monsieur Roland Dorgelès dans son uniforme de rédacteur à la petite semaine"" Alongside two original photographs one depicting the famous Montmartre figure Francisque Poulbot in his Guignol theatre Agence Rol 1910 and the other a very rare photograph of the legendary Fête des Dernières Cartouches organised by Poulbot on 23 May 1913. We have located only one other known image of this event. The photograph shows the merry band of participants at Poulbots place on rue de lOrient dressed as soldiers from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. The celebration which created quite a stir is recounted by Dorgelès in this book: One day or rather one night the uproar reached its height: when Poulbot gave his famous Dernières Cartouches party. The idea came to him after a dispute with his landlord on rue de lOrient who had refused to renew his lease. Poulbot had only recently moved in and had built a studio in the garden at his own expense. Does he think Im going to give it to him as a gift he fumed. He can rot! Ill barricade myself inside and wait for eviction. Right away we all swore to join him in defying the police just like at Fort Chabrol. But our tall friend was already improving the plan: Even better! Well dress up as soldiers from 1870 and defend ourselves like the Last Cartridges! The Maison des Dernières Cartouches was an inn in Bazeilles where French soldiers had made a heroic last stand during the fall of Sedan. Their sacrifice inspired a famous history painting by Alphonse de Neuville. By firing from the windows! By blowing everything up! The operation was immediately planned. Orders were issued stamped with the imperial eagle and the recruits assembled their own equipment not from a costume hire that wouldve been too easy. Old relics were unearthed ragmen looted the flea market raided for red trousers: in less than two weeks the battalion was fully outfitted. Everything was period-accurate down to the Chassepot rifles of Gravelotte. Even the weapons were authentic. Not a single gaiter button was missing. As the evening began rifle butts rattled the doors. The police No reinforcements. The Montparnasse reservists arrived soaked to the bone having marched across Paris in fours bayonets fixed greeted along the way by bewildered officers. We drank we sang we roared. Then we set off on patrol brimming with spirit and the honest folk returning from the cinema were startled to see soldiers appearing on corners and aiming at them: Halt! Who goes there Some caught on others stammered in fright: Whats happening What You didnt know War has been declared. There are some things though one shouldnt joke about. When our martial energy waned we all poured into the Lapin Agile and started singing Le Père la Victoire in chorus. It wasnt period-accurate but never mind. At dawn as the sky began to pale we gathered on rue Lepic officers drew their sabres the bugle sounded the charge and we launched an assault o Albin Michel hardcover
1920réf. 57600Paris: Lucien Vogel éditeur 1920. Fine. Lucien Vogel éditeur Paris Mai 1920 18 x 24 cm une feuille Original color print heightened in gold and palladium printed on laid paper unsigned. Original engraving created for the illustration of La Gazette du bon ton one of the most beautiful and influential fashion magazines of the 20th century celebrating the talent of French creators and artists at the height of the Art Deco movement. Famous fashion magazine founded in 1912 by Lucien Vogel La Gazette du bon ton was published until 1925 with an interruption during the War from 1915 to 1920 due to the mobilization of its editor-in-chief. It consists of 69 issues printed in only 2000 copies and is illustrated notably with 573 color plates and 148 sketches representing models by great couturiers. From their publication these luxurious publications ""addressed bibliophiles and society aesthetes"" Françoise Tétart-Vittu ""La Gazette du bon ton"" in Dictionnaire de la mode 2016. Printed on fine laid paper they used a typeface specially created for the magazine by Georges Peignot the Cochin typeface later adopted in 1946 by Christian Dior. The prints were created using the metal stencil technique heightened in colors and some highlighted in gold or palladium. The adventure began in 1912 when Lucien Vogel a man of society and fashion - he had already participated in the magazine Femina - decided to found with his wife Cosette de Brunhoff sister of Jean the father of Babar La Gazette du bon ton whose subtitle was then ""Art modes et frivolités"". Georges Charensol reports the words of the editor-in-chief: ""En 1910 observe-t-il il n'existait aucun journal de mode véritablement artistique et représentatif de l'esprit de son époque. Je songeais donc à faire un magazine de luxe avec des artistes véritablement modernes . J'étais certain du succès car pour la mode aucun pays ne peut rivaliser avec la France."" ""In 1910 he observed there was no fashion journal that was truly artistic and representative of the spirit of its time. I therefore thought of making a luxury magazine with truly modern artists . I was certain of success because for fashion no country can rival France."" ""Un grand éditeur d'art. Lucien Vogel"" in Les Nouvelles littéraires n°133 May 1925. The magazine's success was immediate not only in France but also in the United States and South America. Originally Vogel therefore brought together a group of seven artists: André-Édouard Marty and Pierre Brissaud followed by Georges Lepape and Dammicourt; and finally his friends from the École des beaux-arts who were George Barbier Bernard Boutet de Monvel or Charles Martin. Other talents quickly joined 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 Charles Martin Maggie Salcedo. These artists mostly unknown when Lucien Vogel called upon them would later become emblematic and sought-after artistic figures. These same illustrators created the drawings for La Gazette's advertisements. The plates highlighted and sublimated the dresses of seven creators of the era: Lanvin Doeuillet Paquin Poiret Worth Vionnet and Doucet. The couturiers provided exclusive models for each issue. Nevertheless some of the illustrations featured no real model but only the illustrator's idea of contemporary fashion. La Gazette du bon ton was a decisive stage in the history of fashion. Combining aesthetic excellence and artistic unity it brought together for the first time the great talents from the worlds of arts letters and fashion and imposed through this alchemy a completely new image of woman elegant independent and bold also carried by the new generation of couturiers Coco Chanel Jean Patou Marcel Rochas. Acquired in 1920 by Condé Montrose Nast La Gazette du bon ton would largely inspire the new composition and aesthetic choices of Lucien Vogel éditeur unknown

On offer is a super original late 1960s manuscript relic of Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution and the cruel manipulation of the people as the politics of the times changed to the socialist agenda of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. This document attests to the forced recanting of many former managers as evidenced by this document being a 38 page manuscript confession handwritten by a director of a local bureau during the revolution. This bureau or cadre manager like many others in China were called upon forcefully much of the time to expose and confess their so called crimes of anti-socialist revolution activity in the bureau they had worked in. This was unfortunately all too common during the Revolution and sometimes the results were fatal. This 19cm x 26cm 38 page document is comprised of papers held by paper clip with some small rusting to the clip and one page has a tape repair to the back. Overall G.

1952réf. 0001038HOLLYWOOD LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA CA. Very Good. 1952. On offer is an exceptional archive of original color slides positives featuring the most remarkable female beauty of the 20th century being Marilyn Monroe. Ms. Monroe is candidly captured during a rehearsal and live performance of Edgar Bergen's radio show October 26th 1952. The writer of the show featuring the internationally famed Bergen and his equally famous puppet Charlie McCarthy was Mr. Zeno Klinker. Mr. Klinker the character Effie Klinker is named after the man besides being a talented writer and comedian his sister also a creative talent being the renowned Death Valley artist Orpha Klinker was also a passionate photographer who photographed nearly every visiting actor actress or celebrity on the Bergen show and at this particular broadcast he had direct access to Marilyn Monroe. She is absolutely ravishing and at the height of her beauty and appears to be having a sensational time. A number of group shots include Monroe Bergen and other cast members. Collectors and historians of Monroe's life and career will recognize that as her star was ascending and she gaining some small influence due to her roles in 'The Asphalt Jungle' and 'All About Eve' at this broadcast of one of the most popular radio shows ever she was a mere three months before the 1953 film noir movie 'Niagara' would launch her to stardom. This archive is comprised of 42 different unpublished images that have been stored for more than 50 years. Klinker captured two near identical photos of each image to use in a stereographic type viewer and create a 3-D effect so while there are 42 images they are meant to create 21 'stereoviews'. The color positives have sleeves that would slip into the stereo-viewer. There is no stereo-viewer with the archive.

1947réf. 0012158Havana Cuba Spain. Good with no dust jacket. 1947. Non-Book. On offer is a matched group of large-format black-and-white silver gelatin publicity stills for Fuenteovejuna the 1947 Spanish film adaptation of Lope de Vega's Golden Age drama of village resistance feudal authority and collective justice. Though the film itself was a Spanish production this group relates to its Cuban distribution and publicity history. All of the stills were issued or handled by Zenith Films S. A. a Havana-based film distributor. Each photograph bears a printed lower-left presentation label reading "Zenith Films S. A. Presenta: 'Fuenteovejuna. '" This is especially interesting as a surviving working publicity file rather than a loose assortment of film photographs. The stills share a repeated handwritten number 1674 placed consistently along the upper margin. Two versos are stamped "Zenith Films S. A. " and "UNIDAD -8- " and one is further inscribed in pencil: "Fotos repetidas de la película Fuente-Ovejuna" Repeated photographs from the film Fuente-Ovejuna. The repeated numbering distributor stamps unit stamps duplicate-photo notation and edge evidence of mounting all suggest that the stills were retained sorted and used as part of a distributor's or exhibitor's working file. One still appears to carry a small partially legible studio or printer's mark near the lower margin. This may provide additional evidence of local photographic processing or publicity production but the mark is not yet fully deciphered and is therefore not relied upon here as a firm identification. Together the stills convey the cinematic scope of Fuenteovejuna as well as the physical apparatus by which the film was promoted for exhibition. For a Cuban collection the value of this group lies in its documentation of pre-revolutionary film distribution infrastructure. Condition: Fair to good with significant evidence of working use. The stills show edge wear softened and bumped corners creasing scattered staining surface abrasions pinholes or small punctures silvering or chemical spotting and areas of loss or disturbance to the photographic surface. Margins and versos retain adhesive residue mounting tabs and other evidence of prior affixing or display. These condition issues are visible but they are also consistent with the group's use as a working publicity or distribution file rather than as preserved collector photographs. ; Photograph; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .

Akhisar and its environment in the Middle Bronze Age (with contribution of Hastane Höyügü excavation results).= Orta Tunç Çagi'nda Akhisar ve çevresi (Hastane Höyügü kazi sonuçlarinin da katkilariyla). "Akhisar and its surroundings in the Middle Bronze Age with the contributions of the excavations of the Hastane Höyügü consists of five sections. The general geographical characteristics of the region mentioned, the information given by the travelers of the 17th, 18th and 19th century about the region and previous researches are explained. Hastane Höyügü located in Akhisar district is the only Protohistoric settlement where excavation works were carried out in the area. Hastane Höyügü was taken as the centre in determining the geography covered in this book. The other settlements come from a total of 104 mounds detected as a result of surface surveys of the above-mentioned scientists. Among these mounds are 10 mounds dated to the Middle Bronze Age. In this context, the location of each mound, research history, SGT status and the dates of the meetings of the SIT are explained. Each of the finds of the mound were given the necessary technical information about the catalog, especially compared to other Western Anatolian centers which are contemporary of the profiles of the ceramics. Thus, it is understood that Akhisar, which forms the connection between the north and south regions of the Aegean due to its geography, has similar finds found in many centers in Panaztepe, Limantepe, Baglararasi, Beycesultan and Troia in Western Anatolia...".
