Best.-Nr. 11588vo. 186x 119 mm. 7 ¼ x 4 ½ inches. 1-14 1 15-19 21-24 1 25-29 1 30-36 1 37-90; folios 74 and 83-90 blank except for page numbers and 4 lines on fol. 85 verso; plus 18 blank leaves at the end followed by 1 leaves containing 3 index pages and 1 final blank leaf. Manuscript section tiles in outline capitals on separate leaves included in foliation. Complete the gap between folios 19 and 21 is a foliation error. Ruled borders throughout. Text in brown ink in a flowing cursive hand varying lines numerous insertions and deletions. The manuscript on wove paper is illustrated with 20 pen-and-ink drawings of which 7 full-page on rectos with verso blank the first five not included in the foliation and 13 half-page or smaller plus 2 small ornaments. Bound in black straight-grain morocco covers gilt paneled central panel with arabesque tooling at corners smooth spine with gilt title cartouche lettered “Bluettes” from which extend triple gilt fillets terminating in ornaments at head and tail gilt edges with moiré satin endleaves; binding a bit rubbed with corners bumped. A manuscript of poems and short prose pieces all in a romantic vein illustrated with quite accomplished pen-and-ink drawings presumably by the author whose name and the date of the manuscript are supplied on the verso of the front free endpaper: “Le Baron Achille de Cholet / Officier á l’Etat-Major / 1836”. In the first poem Aux Dames the poet calls himself a “novice Ecolier” implying youthfulness and the date of 1836 on the front fly leaf is probably at the time of writing although some of the many corrections and deletions may have been added later. The titles of the other poems or groups of poems are : Le Rin Le Déserteur L’Isolement L’Impiété Un Croix sur la Montagne La Mère du Prisonnier L’Avenir / á Melle Francine d’Hurbal Rheyms Séparation L’Enfant perdu L’Adieu au Plaisir La Campagne / á Mr le Vicomte Alfred de R. . . Le Cloches du Soir La Neige Les Pauvres and Le Jour des Rois . . . These stolid sentimental poems and prose impressions reflect the prevailing Romanticism of the period as do the far more skillfully executed pen-and-ink drawings that illustrate them. Somber or dreamlike with dark cross-hatching contrasting with lighter areas the drawings show a dark tunnel under a rocky mountainside a soldier in a garret or prison a cloaked barefoot man an emblematic trophy with musical instruments and weaponry a raven perched on ruined tombstones and columns a domestic scene of father and daughter a women on her knees the façade of Reims Cathedral surrounded by swirling clouds architectural details of cathedrals several surrounded by decaying facades and vignettes of crumbling chateaux pastoral churches and snow-covered gatehouses all of which reflect the vogue for l’ancienne France and the “pittoresque” as notably popularized by Nodier and Taylor in their Voyage pittoresque et romantiques dans l’Ancienne France 23 volumes 1820-1878. Achille de Cholet was descended from an ancient Anjou noble family according to his obituary in 1888 in the Bulletin héraldique de France vol. 7 235-6. He became an officer in the Légion d’honneur and was well known for his important topographic researches in the south of France. A few of the pieces in the manuscript are dedicated to aristocrats mainly female. It seems likely that the Baron shared his family’s Royalist views: his father had died in exile and his brother whose first name is not given in the obituary was an “ardent champion of the Royalists press” and author of a book title Madame en Vendée relating the attempted coup in 1832 of the duchesse de Berry mother of the Prentender the Comte de Chambord which was pursued and effectively banned by the tribunals indeed the work appears not be recorded in OCLC or other online OPACs.

Loose as issued. 1520 An unrecorded and gorgeous work by The Berkeley Commune in affinity with the International Werewolf Conspiracy and Up Against the Wall Motherfucker identified for us by UAWMF founder Ben Morea as a co-publication with New York chapters of the secretive network of radicals. Strike Anywhere calls for immediate unified militant action to take control of the America's urban centers: "if there is going to be any student-worker alliance then it will be formed as clearly seen in france not in the factories but on the streets or not at all. if poor whites & middleclass hippies are going to come together as in chicago berkeley & NY it will be in the streets. if there is going to be a true working alliance with blacks then it will come from the common struggle in the streets. the streets are where we will confront the man & where the struggle will become clear - theoretically as well as tactically. theory in not separate from life/ we need space to create the existence we want to live & in the streets we learn the man isn't going to give up space - because the existence of an alternate life is a threat to his piglife." books
