Etat : Fine. William Bradley (illustrateur). This first edition, folio lithograph after a poster is from "Les Maitres de l'Affiche". The work was published by Imprimerie Chaix under the direction of Jules Cheret in Paris between 1896 and 1900. The prints were published as a monthly subscription, with 4 sent each month to subscribers. On 16 occasions "bonus" plates of original designs by noted artists were also included. Each lithograph features the blind embossed stamp of Maitres de l'Affiche designed by Cheret. Celebrated artists of the time contributed to the work including Steinlen, Mucha, Toulouse-Lautrec, Bonnard, Forain, Grasset, Meunier, Louis Rhead, Dudley Hardy, Beggarstaff, Edward Penfield et al. --- Jules Cheret was considered the father of poster art. "He dominated the series, with one in every four Maitres by him, the first in each monthly instalment, and 7 of the Special plates, a total of 67. With over 1000 poster designs to his credit, his large representation in the series is justified, although some critics have pointed out that, as the artistic director, he may have been biased towards selecting his own work." (Appelbaum p.iii) Cheret demonstrated a unique combination of artistic, technical, and entrepreneurial talent that spearheaded the poster industry. He opened his own print shop in 1866 in Paris and from 1881 on his shop operated as part of the Chaix firm which gave us "Les Maitres de l'Affiche". --- Among the most sought after plates in the work are the "Job" and "Moulin Rouge" by Toulouse Lautrec. Rennert noted of the "Job" by Mucha that "more than any other work of Mucha's, this beauty established him as the master of convoluted hair and the creator of unforgettable popular images; the poster was used for years in many variants all over the world, sometimes with marginal text in various languages. A classic by any standard." (Rennert, PAI-XLIX 389) "Jane Abdy called it "a secular icon," and indeed it is a magnificent production, considering that it advertises cigarette paper. "The background, in a dull imperial purple is a perfect foil for the golden curls of the smoking girl, whose locks are spread over the poster like the delicate filigree work of an Indian bracelet"(Abdy, p.136) --- This art subscription was created during the Belle Epoque period in France. "There was nothing exclusive about the 'joie de vivre' that swept Paris, at a delirious pace, out of the 19th century into the 20th. As Victor Hugo had observed, the city lived by, and for, the whole human race. Haussman's great boulevards had opened up a spacious stage where Paris made a spectacle of herself by day and night. Outdoors and indoors the walls of buildings flowered with posters that took their themes from the passing show of 'La Vie Parisenne.' Advertising never knew happier days. The most ephemeral of the arts has left us with a vision of the 'good old days' that vanished forever in the gunsmoke of 1914. Those gay nineties and naughty noughts that will always be remembered as 'La Belle Epoque.'(The beautiful era)" (Horizon p. 97) --- "By the 1890s the streets of every great metropolis were enlivened by large colourful posters (see The Great Poster Movement). The poster had not only caught the fancy of the broad public, but its best examples were already being regarded as works of art (specifically, as fine prints) to be exhibited, reviewed in journals, collected and reprinted in a manageable form. In the last five years of the century, the Imprimerie Chaix was to play great part in codifying, hallowing and perpetuating the ebullient period of 'La Belle Epoque.' It was in those years that the firm published "Les Maitres de l'Affiche" (Masters of the Poster) reduced lithographic versions, in authentic colours, of the best posters of Europe and America, by more than 90 great artists, posters that bring the period to life." (Appelbaum p.iii) --- The work is in very good to excellent condition. There may be a few minor imperfections to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions. --- Paper Size ~ 11 1/4" by 15 1/2".

The prints were published as a monthly subscription, with 4 sent each month to subscribers. On 16 occasions "bonus" plates of original designs by noted artists were also included. Each lithograph features the blind embossed stamp of Maitres de l'Affiche designed by Cheret. Celebrated artists of the time contributed to the work including Steinlen, Mucha, Toulouse-Lautrec, Bonnard, Forain, Grasset, Meunier, Louis Rhead, Dudley Hardy, Beggarstaff, Edward Penfield et al. --- Jules Cheret was considered the father of poster art. "He dominated the series, with one in every four Maitres by him, the first in each monthly instalment, and 7 of the Special plates, a total of 67. With over 1000 poster designs to his credit, his large representation in the series is justified, although some critics have pointed out that, as the artistic director, he may have been biased towards selecting his own work." (Appelbaum p.iii) Cheret demonstrated a unique combination of artistic, technical, and entrepreneurial talent that spearheaded the poster industry. He opened his own print shop in 1866 in Paris and from 1881 on his shop operated as part of the Chaix firm which gave us "Les Maitres de l'Affiche". --- Among the most sought after plates in the work are the "Job" and "Moulin Rouge" by Toulouse Lautrec. Rennert noted of the "Job" by Mucha that "more than any other work of Mucha's, this beauty established him as the master of convoluted hair and the creator of unforgettable popular images; the poster was used for years in many variants all over the world, sometimes with marginal text in various languages. A classic by any standard." (Rennert, PAI-XLIX 389) "Jane Abdy called it "a secular icon," and indeed it is a magnificent production, considering that it advertises cigarette paper. "The background, in a dull imperial purple is a perfect foil for the golden curls of the smoking girl, whose locks are spread over the poster like the delicate filigree work of an Indian bracelet"(Abdy, p.136) --- This art subscription was created during the Belle Epoque period in France. "There was nothing exclusive about the 'joie de vivre' that swept Paris, at a delirious pace, out of the 19th century into the 20th. As Victor Hugo had observed, the city lived by, and for, the whole human race. Haussman's great boulevards had opened up a spacious stage where Paris made a spectacle of herself by day and night. Outdoors and indoors the walls of buildings flowered with posters that took their themes from the passing show of 'La Vie Parisenne.' Advertising never knew happier days. The most ephemeral of the arts has left us with a vision of the 'good old days' that vanished forever in the gunsmoke of 1914. Those gay nineties and naughty noughts that will always be remembered as 'La Belle Epoque.'(The beautiful era)" (Horizon p. 97) --- "By the 1890s the streets of every great metropolis were enlivened by large colourful posters (see The Great Poster Movement). The poster had not only caught the fancy of the broad public, but its best examples were already being regarded as works of art (specifically, as fine prints) to be exhibited, reviewed in journals, collected and reprinted in a manageable form. In the last five years of the century, the Imprimerie Chaix was to play great part in codifying, hallowing and perpetuating the ebullient period of 'La Belle Epoque.' It was in those years that the firm published "Les Maitres de l'Affiche" (Masters of the Poster) reduced lithographic versions, in authentic colours, of the best posters of Europe and America, by more than 90 great artists, posters that bring the period to life."

Photograph. This original press photo captures the improbable spectacle of Winston Churchill and Ernst Bohle - the leader of the Organization of the Nazi Party Abroad - smiling together outside of Churchill s London residence on 1 October 1937. This press photo belonged to the archives of The Daily Telegraph. The image, measuring 10 x 8 inches (25.4 x 20.3 cm), is a gelatin silver print on heavy matte photo paper. Condition is very good. The paper is crisp, clean, and free of scratches with light wear along the edges confined to the margins. Not unsuitably, The Daily Telegraph Art department hand-applied paint to isolate Churchill. The verso bears the copyright stamp of "Keystone View Company", two received stamps of The Daily Telegraph dated OCT 1937, and a typed caption titled "BRITISH-BORN LEADER OF FOREIGN NAZIS MEETS WINSTON CHURCHILL". The caption is dated "1.10.37", and reads, "HERR ERNST BOHLE, the leader of the Organisation of Nazis Abroad who arrived in London yesterday, today visited Mr. WINSTON CHURCHILL at the latter s flat in Victoria to "put things straight with regard to his recent attacks on the foreign organisation of the Nazi party."" This photograph is housed in a removable, archival mylar sleeve within a rigid, crimson cloth folder. When this photograph was taken Churchill-was still in his "Wilderness Years"; he spent most of the 1930s out of power and out of favor, warning about the dangers of a rising Nazi Germany, often at odds with both his party leadership and prevailing public sentiment. Churchill s pen was often his primary means of communicating with the public. On 20 August 1937 Churchill published an article titled "A Plain Word to the Nazis" in the Evening Standard in which he called on Parliament to increase scrutiny and surveillance of Germans living in Britain and to deport them if necessary. He wrote, "A Nazi minister and department have actually been set up in Berlin within the present year to promote and concert the action of Nazi Germans living abroad." This minister was Ernst Wilhelm Bohle (1903-1960), a British born Nazi Party member who in 1937 was appointed to lead the Organization of the Nazi Party Abroad. Churchill s article touched a nerve. In a 31 August letter, Churchill s literary agent, Emery Reves, wrote "Two days ago, the President of this Organization, Herr Bohle [and two ministers] delivered speeches, all three referring to your article and protesting against your accusations." (WC and ER Correspondence 1937-1964, p.56) Bohle expressed admiration for British patriotism and that the British "should be among the first people to approve of our work in developing the same kind of patriotism for the Third Reich." Churchill, displaying the earnest desire to avoid the war that he would fight with such ferocious resolve only a few years later, responded to Bohle, writing "I see Herr Bohle has expressed a wish to talk this over with me. I should be delighted to do anything in the power of a private member to remove this new embarrassment to Anglo-German goodwill." They met on 1 October 1937. Bohle later recounted the meeting "in Winston s home" lasting "more than an hour" during his trial in Nuremburg: "I had ample opportunity in this thoroughly cordial conversation to describe the activity of the Auslands-Organisation and to dispel his misgivings. At the end he accompanied me to my car and let himself be photographed with me, in order, as he said, to show the world that we were parting as friends." (Nuremberg Trial Proceedings, 25 March 1946, morning session) On 7 October Reves wrote to Churchill "I have seen in Marseille, in a local paper, a picture of you together with Herr Bohle. Your expression shows that the conversation must have been a very amusing one." (Correspondence, p. 66) Churchill s amused look aside, two and a half years later Churchill would be Prime Minister of a Britain fighting desperately to survive the consequences of Nazi "patriotism".

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. [193] pp. Pierre Vorms Editeur d'Art 1958 First Edition 12 3/4" x 9 3/4" Jean Lurçat (1 July 1892 - 6 January 1966) was a French artist noted for his role in the revival of contemporary tapestry. Biography He was born in Bruyères, Vosges, the son of Lucien Jean Baptiste Lurçat and Marie Emilie Marguerite L'Hote. He was the brother of André Lurçat, who became an architect. After his secondary education at Épinal, he enrolled at La Faculté des sciences de Nancy and studied medicine. He went to Switzerland and Germany (Munich) and in leaving his educational path, he went to the workshop of Victor Prouvé, the head of the École de Nancy. Painting and the War In 1912, Jean Lurçat took residence in Paris with his brother André. He enrolled at the Académie Colarossi, then at the workshop of the engraver, Bernard Naudin. He met painters such as Matisse, Cézanne, Renoir; his friends included Rainer Maria Rilke, Antoine Bourdelle, and Elie Faure. Lurçat and three associates founded the Feuilles de Mai (The leaves of May), a journal of art in which these celebrities participated. He then became an apprentice of the painter Jean-Paul Lafitte with whom he had an exhibition at La faculté des sciences de Marseille. His first journey to Italy was interrupted in August by the declaration of war. Back in France, Lurçat joined the infantry, but was evacuated on 15 November after falling ill. During his recovery to health, in 1915, he practised painting and lithography. In July 1916, he returned to the front, but was evacuated once again due to injury. He never returned to the front. In September, his art was put on exhibition in Zürich. Discovery of tapestry In 1917, Jean Lurçat made his first tapestries: Filles Vertes (Green Girls) and Soirée dans Grenade (Evening in Grenada). At the end of the war in 1918, he returned to Switzerland where he had a holiday in Ticino (Swiss Italy), with Rilke, Busoni, Hermann Hesse and Jeanne Bucher. His second exhibition took place in Zürich in the same year. In 1920, he travelled extensively: Berlin, Munich, Rome, Naples. Then he took up residence in Paris with Marthe Hennebert. It was she who wove two tapestries: Pêcheur (Fisherman) and Piscine (Swimming pool). He unveiled in the same year, at Le Salon des Indépendants, two tapestries and four paintings. He met the art merchant Étienne Bignou. In 1921, Jean Lurçat met Louis Marcoussis, he discovered Picasso and Max Jacob, and created decoration and costumes for Le spectacle de la Compagnie Pitoeff: "He who receives slaps", and then spent the autumn near the Baltic sea. The following year, he created his fifth tapestry, Le Cirque (the circus), for Mme. Cuttoli. His first personal exhibition took place in Paris in April and September. He made a large decoration on a wall (no longer visible today) at the Castle of Villeflix. Then he went to Berlin, where he met Ferruccio Busoni. During the next two years Lurçat resumed travelling. In 1923 he went to Spain; in 1924 he went to North Africa, the Sahara, Greece and Asia Minor. Upon his return, he signed a contract without exclusivity with his friend, Étienne Bignou. His brother André built his new house, Villa Seurat, in Paris. He devoted a portion of the year 1924 to the making of his sixth tapestry, Les arbres (The trees). On 15 December, Lurçat married Marthe Hennebert and traveled in 1925 to Scotland, then Spain and northern Africa. Upon his return, he took up residence at La Villa Seurat. He participated in several expositions with Raoul Dufy, Marcoussis, Laglenne and others. He revealed, at the home of Jeanne Bucher, elements of decoration (carpets and paintings) of Le Vertige, a film by Marcel l'Herbier. In 1926, he exhibited in Paris and Brussels, and participated in collective exhibitions in Vienna, Paris, and Anvers. His fame began due to several articles devoted to him.

3 brouillon de lettre signée, pièce signée et lettre autographe signée. 6 In-4 janvier - février 1793 Une adresse au dos. bon Petit dossier sur les démarches engagées par le tragédien Rézicourt [François Geffroy-Lepoitevin, dit], pensionnaire du Théâtre de la rue Feydeau, pour que celui-ci respecte ses conditions d'engagement. «Lorsque vous m'avez engagé, c'était pour jouer la comédie et l'opéra. Votre entreprise a été fondée sur la réunion de ces deux genres. Vous n'aviez jamais cessé de les avoir à l'époque de notre traité, ce traité m'oblige à les jouer tous deux [.]. Cependant, il paroît que vous renoncez tout à fait à la Comédie et je me vois forcé de vous faire à cet égard mes justes réclamations. Si ma carrière théâtrale devoit finir avec mon engagement, je sacrifirois volontiers mon amour propre et ma réputation d'acteur à votre manière de voir, mais mon état dépend de cette réputation et vous ne pouvez justement me ravir l'un et l'autre [.]. On m'offroit à Pasques dernier 12.000 # ; et de payer un dédit considérable. Auroit-on fait cette offre à un acteur qui n'eût pas joué la comédie depuis six ans ? Me la feroit-on encore dans 6 ans si j'étois tout ce temps sans la jouer ? L'administration me fit manquer cette place ; elle exigea l'exécution de mon engagement, en protestant que, de son côté, elle en remploroit fidèlement les clauses. Vous aviez ce droit, MM., et je ne m'en plaignis pas. Mais vous n'avez pas celui de me faire perdre mon état, en me condamnant à une inaction mortelle pour mon talent et ma réputation. La Comédie n'est pas un art que l'on puisse exercer et cultiver seul ; en m'engageant pour la jouer, vous avez contracté l'obligagtion de m'en fournir les moyens [.]». Miramond, le secrétaire général du Théâtre Feydeau lui répond que le Théâtre fera tout pour le satisfaire. «Vous pouvez d'ailleurs vous en rapporter à son intérest qui se trouve tellement lié avec le vôtre qu'elle ne pourrait, sans nuire à l'entreprise, négliger les moyens d'offrir le plus avantageusement possible au Public un acteur d'un talent aussi distingué [.]». Le troisième document est le brouillon de la requête engagée par Rézicourt auprès des autorités judiciaires, pour que le Théâtre Feydeau mette de nouveau à son répertoire des comédies et non plus seulement des opéras.

Soft cover. Etat : Near Fine. Rare copy of the sought-after first volume of Feldmann's protean work of latter day photo-conceptualism Voyeur, which has gone on to be issued in five further editions, with each issue altering the format and presentation of the source material. Taking the form of an affordable mass market paperback, Voyeur is a compact representation of society as image spectacle. A sprawling taxonomy of vernacular photography, images from every possible genre --crime, fashion, sports, advertising, glamour magazines and on and on, are presented scrapbook style in miniaturised black and white half-tone reproductions. "Voyeur trawls the image wreckage of our consumer-driven culture, making eccentric or sinister juxtapositions (shots of nude women next to aircraft crashes) and cataloging the blandness of media bombardment to render its toxic assault visible to us, its near-helpless voyeurs."--from the publisher of the 2009 reprint.

Il illustra notamment Bel Ami de Maupassant, et figura dans les principaux Salons parisiens de peinture. Mais c'est son travail qui le fit connaître : on lui doit notamment la création du costume des Frères Jacques et de plusieurs affiches de cinéma ou de théâtre dont celle de La Belle et la Bête de Jean Cocteau. Il fut le collaborateur privilégié de Jean Anouilh pour la plupart de ses pièces. Il a également créé au cours des années 1950 et 1960 les costumes et les décors de nombreuses productions lyriques à l Opéra de Paris, l Opéra-Comique, au Festival d Aix-en-Provence, au Covent Garden de Londres ou à la Scala de Milan mais aussi d'opérettes comme La Vie parisienne avec la compagnie Renaud-Barrault et Barbe Bleue de Jacques Offenbach au théâtre de Paris ou encore Monsieur Carnaval de Charles Aznavour, Frédéric Dard et Jean-Claude Casadesus au théâtre du Châtelet.

De l immédiat après-guerre où il prend son grand développement, jusqu à la disparition de l artiste en 2004, son art portera haut dans le monde l idée d une élégance française, spéciale et souveraine. Pendant longtemps, il sera partout, sur les murs avec ses affiches, dans la presse avec ses dessins de mode, ses publicités et ses nombreuses couvertures, qui forment le sujet de ce livre.

Des marques les plus prestigieuses : Rouge Baiser, Scandale, Payot ou des spectacles les plus en couleurs : Moulin Rouge, Lido, Casino de Paris Et si son nom n est pas sur toutes les lèvres, ses croquis de mode, ses affiches, ses publicités nous ont, un jour ou l'autre, " tapé dans l'oeil " sans le savoir, peut-être même sans le vouloir, car Gruau a élevé la suggestion au rang des Beaux-Arts, créant des images que l on pourrait, aujourd hui, qualifier de " subliminales ". Oui, Gruau le magicien joue sur la palette de nos cinq sens et de nos fantasmes avec une redoutable maestria. Obscurs objets de désir ou inaccessibles étoiles, les femmes de Gruau n'ont pas fini de nous faire rêver. '' ********************.

Lettre poignante de Mirbeau confronté à des problèmes de santé :Avant son départ pour Contrexéville, O. Mirbeau aurait souhaité voir son ami mais .Je nen ai pas eu le courage. Je mène une vie affreuse, désespérée. Depuis presque deux mois que jai un catarrhe de lestomac. Vous ne savez pas ce que cest. Cest le suicide, voilà ! Je travaille pourtant, un peu, quelquefois le matin. Mais je nai plus la foi au travail. Et alors, ça devient une chose douloureuse aussi.Maurice de Féraudy, sociétaire de la Comédie-Française, interprètera notamment Isidore Lechat, personnage cynique et sans scrupule (Les affaires sont les affaires dOctave Mirbeau), rôle quil jouera plus de 2 000 fois et dans lequel il fera ses adieux à la Grande Maison. La pièce connaît un succès mondial. Chroniqueur, critique influent et redouté, Octave Mirbeau met sa plume au service de la fiction. Son univers théâtral et romanesque est empreint dune même noirceur, dun pessimisme sans concession. Libertaire, anticlérical, antimilitariste, il est résolument dreyfusard. Les dernières années de sa vie seront désolantes : marquées par la maladie et le désespoir devant le spectacle de la terrifiante boucherie de la Grande Guerre.
