rif. 004228Paris. Faux Lacquer. Very Good Minus. Handsome folder promoting opium as a pharmaceutical! N.d. circa 1900 to 1910. 30 by 23 cm. Tabularly-presented text is on the endpapers with four leaves of heavy blank yellow paper bound in by string. On the two page table of particular interest in our view is the drug called "Pantopon 'Roche'" whose composition is "Opium Total". Other drugs we note contain "barbiturate." The opium-connection might explain the Chinoiserie decoration of the binder. Of course the boards are also very decorative making this binder a prized promotional giveaway which we assume it would have been to the company's customers and other contacts. The Basel-based Hoffmann La Roche was founded in 1896 and soon had offices in Paris. It remains to this day a pharmaceutical giant. Minor surface loss to the black faux lacquer surface along the edges. Ink and pencil marks abounding on the yellow blanks suggesting these were used as blotter paper. Minor loss and looseness to the endpaper at the spine. unknown books
1956rif. 004251Barcelona: Gremio de Libreros de Barcelona 1956. First edition. NA. Fine. A most unusual promotion for an antiquarian book fair! 43.5 by 31.5 cm. 30 cells with cartoon drawings recounting the life of an 100 year old book -- the actual physical object -- from its first sale to its appearance at an antiquarian book fair! The story is in the tradition of "Black Beauty" "The Memoirs of an Umbrella" or "The Yellow Rolls Royce" all concerning the ups and downs incident to different owners and in the case of the latter two there is the commonality of the personification of an inanimate thing. Here the book starts in Barcelona and in its circuitous path that takes it all the way to Paris and the Eiffel Tower and a Seine "bouquinist" comes to rest finally again in Barcelona in a stall at the Feria Annual del Libro de Occasion Antiguo y Moderno still an annual event held by the local booksellers' guild and thus one of the oldest running antiquarian book fairs today. We note that this is a story arc that resembles that of "Black Beauty". The format of the broadside is called "auca" which is an uniquely Catalan graphic format. The captions by Eroles are all three line rhymed couplets in Spanish. In 1972 Eroles wrote and published in Catalan a book on bookselling in Barcelona called "Memoires d'un llibre vell". The broadside can not be found in OCLC. Gremio de Libreros de Barcelona unknown books
