Miguet), 351, 396, 380 et 388 pp., fac-similés en frontispice. Édition originale de cette célèbre correspondance qui se lit comme un roman d'apprentissage. Jacques Rivière et Henri Fournier se rencontrent en octobre 1903 au lycée Lakanal de Sceaux, où ils préparent le concours d’entrée à l’École Normale Supérieure. De tempéraments différents, rien ne les prédestine à nouer un lien d'amitié si ce n'est leur goût commun de la lecture. C'est en découvrant "Tel qu'en songe" de Henri de Régnier que les deux jeunes gens accèdent aux sortilèges de la littérature, une illumination qui décide de leur vocation d'écrivain, mais chacun selon sa manière : d'un côté l'homme appliqué qui prendra les commandes de la Nouvelle Revue française ; de l'autre, l'auteur fougueux du Grand Meaulnes, qui tombera au front en 1914. Chaque volume est l'un des 109 exemplaires de tête réimposés et numérotés sur vergé Lafuma-Navarre. En parfaite condition.

1910rif. 6404London: Robt. Riviere & Son 1910. A fine example. Square sixteenmo 5 1/16 x 3 15/16 inches; 129 x 100 mm. 46 2 blank pp. Title-page and initial letters printed in red and black. Handsomely bound ca. 1910 by Rivière & Son stamp-signed in gilt on lower turn-in. Full dark blue crushed levant morocco covers bordered in gilt surrounding an ornate floral design stamped in gilt each with twelve inlaid red morocco flowers spine with five raised bands decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments gilt board edges and turn-ins cream paper liners and end-leaves top edge gilt. Neat ink inscription on front free end-paper and a small gold bookplate. Shelley's poem The Sensitive Plant is a beautiful and tragic poem commemorating the brevity of life and immortality of cyclical nature. Written after death of his son while Percy and Mary Shelley struggled with their grief in Pisa the poem consists of four stanzas with three sections charting the change of seasons. It is set in a garden bursting with blooms but highlights the sensitive plant-a mimosa-with its humble leafy foliage. Human will is nothing in the face of the impartial power of nature and time. First published in Prometheus Unbound and Other Poems 1820 here it has been reproduced with a delicate binding to match its subject. "For the Sensitive Plant has no bright flower; Radiance and odour are not its dower; It loves even like Love its deep heart is full It desires what it has not the Beautiful!" "The Riviere Bindery was one of the most notable and prolific shops in London's West End from about 1840 through 1939" Princeton. Bath-based Bayntun Bindery acquired the firm in 1939 transforming into the "Bayntun-Riviere bindery" which is still in existence and family owned. Robt. Riviere & Son unknown

1720rif. 48868Amsterdam. 1720. Mapping Early Louisiana A scarce early map of the Mississippi River Valley depicting the American region between the Gulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes taken from Het Groot Tafereel der Dwaasheid. The Great Mirror of Folly a scathing account of the speculative crashes that led to European financial disaster in 1720. The work was a chronicle of the failed attempts by John Law controller general of finances for the French government to open Louisiana to trade in order to help alleviate France's financial problems. This led to the creation of the Mississippi Company which created the "Mississippi Bubble" incident that destroyed the Banque Générale Privée the General Private Bank which Law founded. The map depicts the Mississippi River parts of Louisiana and Florida Lake Michigan referred to here as "Lac de Illionis" and Lake Superior the extent of French colonial explorations in the region and names of Indian tribes. It is decorated with a title cartouche incorporating the arms of John Law and depicting two Native Americans holding a cornucopia through which flows the mighty Mississippi River. Minor foxing.

1931rif. 3720St. Louis 1931. Good. Cover letter plus 109 photographs all 8 x 10 inches including about thirty duplicate prints. Contemporary brad-bound wrappers typed title label on front cover. Moderate soiling and significant edge wear and tearing to wrappers. Varying levels of marginal chipping to cover letter first two photographs and top right edge of several later photographs with some mostly marginal staining. An informative collection of photographs featuring the right of way on Section J of the River des Peres Drainage Works project in St. Louis from the Fall of 1926 to August 1933. According to the cover letter to the earliest group of photographs from the District Engineer E.E. Ashlock the first group of photographs were taken between September 14th and 16th 1926 by the assistant engineer of his department Harrold I. Smutz. Ashlock also includes a detailed listing with descriptions of the contents of some of the photographs keyed from "J-1" to "J-11." Following Ashlock's cover letter are over a hundred photographs detailing the River des Peres project with additional typed annotations for the later group of photographs. The project pictured here was undertaken after a series of significant floods in St. Louis. The River des Peres at the confluence of the Mississippi River was effectively channelized and its contents redirected underground through a series of large pipes. The river functions today as a critical part of the city's sanitary and storm water system a role it took on after the project pictured here. The photographs depict a wide range of perspectives of the River des Peres showing views of upstream equipment pictures taken from an "old road looking east across the cleared right of way" from a "road west.looking downstream along right of way" "on crest of hill.looking upstream showing cut timber to be covered by spoil" and so forth. The photographs are often annotated on the verso sometimes in pen and sometimes on small sheets with typed captions. A typical caption reads: "300 feet west of Sta. 201 on old road looking east. Men are standing on West R. of W. line. The line shown is the west of R. of W. line. East R. of W. line is approximately along line of Telegraph poles." The first twenty-two photographs were taken in September 1926. The next thirteen images were produced in 1927-28. The remainder of the images were produced from 1931 to 1933. About thirty of the images are present in duplicate but one or both of the images are usually produced at different exposures or sometimes one of the images is annotated or has additional information captioned on the front or back. In several cases on both the unique images and some of the duplicates an engineer has drawn the right of way lines on the surface of the images and added additional explanatory text especially in the earlier images. An important group of photographs showing the state of a major St. Louis public works project in the midst of the Roaring Twenties and one of the largest and most significant public works projects of its time. unknown
