One of Toulouse-Lautrec's most charming and most highly accomplished illustrated books.From the edition limited to 100 copies.Lautrec had met the well-known writer Jules Renard in 1894 and in 1895 told him he would like to do some illustrations for a book Renard was planning Histoires Naturelles. The two did not agree on the choice of illustrations or the design however and the project took a long time to materialise. The final result is a collection of rather poignant observations by Renard each accompanied by a Lautrec illustration. Lautrec's preliminary sketches were begun in 1896 and most of the lithographs executed towards the end of 1898. The pictorial title Lautrec created for the book is a notable visual pun: a fox - the French word for fox like the surname of the author is 'renard' - sits on a wall above Renard's title; Lautrec's own monogram is above the the fox's back like a full moon in a night sky.The full list of animals depicted by Lautrec and Renard are as follows: 'Coqs'; 'La Pintade'; 'La Dinde'; 'Le Paon'; 'Le Cygne'; 'Canards'; 'Les Pigeons'; 'L'Epervier'; 'La Souris'; 'L'Escargot'; 'L'Araignée'; 'Le Crapaud'; 'Le Chien'; 'Les Lapins'; 'Le Boeuf'; 'L'Ane'; 'Le Cerf'; 'Le Bouc'; 'Les Moutons'; 'Le Taureau'; 'Le Cochon'; 'Le Cheval'.Also included inserted loose is the issue of 'Les Hommes d'Aujourd'hui' for 'De Toulouse-Lautrec' 'No. 460' '9e volume' with the caricature of Lautrec by Emile Cohl coloured by hand. The caricature depicts Lautrec seated on a stool on top of another stool palette in hand painting a portrait of himself; the accompanying text is by Charles Donos.'This book one of the great rarities of the late 19th century was received very poorly when published and did not sell out till 1917. Not only does it contain some of Lautrec's finest illustrations but it is the prototype of nearly all modern bestiaries.' The Artist and the Book.Wittrock 202 - 224; The Artist and the Book 304. H.

Framing the First World War: How Divergent Views Shaped a Global Conflict

rif. B9780700640560Hardback. New. This innovative approach to the history of World War I looks at ways in which military actors saw and perceived war and how that exerted a significant influence over the decisions they made and the actions they took. The character of the conflict that erupted in 1914 defied the expectations of many political leaders and military analysts. Despite the mountains of books and articles published on World War I there has been surprisingly little systematic or comparative research on how military commanders and politicians framed and interpreted the conflict - or indeed on how they understood war itself - and how that understanding shaped their decision-making. Wars are fought by organizations and people who have disparate visions of the world they live in and the conflict they are fighting. In Framing the First World War a team of leading scholars explore the gulf between imagined warfare and the realities of battle. By doing so they investigate how the military forces that contested the First World War framed the conflict they were involved in and how those perspectives shaped and influenced the ways in which they sought to understand conduct and respond to the war. They use the notion of 'frames' and the concept of 'framing' to enable us to engage directly with the complexity and diversity of the conflict which was fought for different reasons and in different ways incorporating a range of issues with implications for the conduct of the war. Improving our appreciation of how commanders saw the world around them and their views on the war they were conducting opens up valuable new approaches for understanding debates over the higher direction of the conflict and the civil-military relations that underpinned them. The contributors to Framing the First World War work towards a fuller historical appraisal of how military figures understood the war moving beyond a purely military analysis to incorporate broader cultural and social topics including education medicine politics and law. hardcover
