2017BIBHB0086156932017. Hardcover. New. ABOUT THE BOOK: Candide begins in the German town of Westphalia where Candide a young man lives in the castle of Baron of Thunder ten tronckh. A noted philosopher Doctor Pangloss tutors the baron on philosophical optimism. Candide a simple man first accepts this philosophy but as he experiences the horrors of war poverty the maliciousness of man and the hypocrisy of the Church he begins to doubt the voracity of Pangloss�s theory. Thus philosophical optimism is the focus of Voltaire�s Satire; antiwar and antichurch refrains also run throughout the novel. Candide makes his way to a neighbouring town where he is aided by two soldiers. He is pressed into service and endures beating at the hands of his superiors. He was slapped in every direction by fate. In Paris Candide becomes ill and is attended by a variety of people all of whom want a piece of his fortune. He recovers but is tricked by an actress into giving away much of his fortune and is eventually arrested by the police.

This edition enriched by Clara Tice's racy and whimsical illustrations is an "Exact reprint of the earliest English text" and was printed in Holland by the Johann Enschedé en Zonen of Haarlem founded in 1703. The verso of the title page states it was "set entirely by hand from type cast by Joh. Enschedé en Zonen from original Didot matrices." It bears amusing legends on the tissue guards printed in red: "Their hands strayed"; "Cut off only one of the buttocks"; "Their veils dropt".<br /> <br /> Clara Tice 1888 - 1973 drew racy illustrations at a time when ladies did not engage in such things and when Anthony Comstock's Society for the Suppression of Vice was very active. Tice attracted their unwanted attention for one of her early exhibitions at Polly's Restaurant in Greenwich Village in 1915 and it helped to jump-start her career. Vanity Fair dubbed Tice the "QUEEN OF GREENWICH VILLAGE". According to The New York Times 27 June 1920 she was the first woman in Greenwich village to bob her hair. Tice also created a cartoon strip and posters and she is included in the New York Dada Movement. J. Enschedé en Zonen for the Bennett Libraries Inc unknown
