Charles- Louis Philippe French novelist had brief liaison with a prostitute which inspired his best-known novel Bubu de Montparnasse. It was widely regarded as the working-class novelists first success a study of Parisian low-life in which the influence of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky is predominant; it was first published in 1901. Chas Laborde was a well-known caricaturist working in the Montmartre region of Paris at the time of this work. Just two years after work on Bubu de Montparnasse Laborde published an album of etchings entitled Rues et Visages de Paris which with great verve and humor depicted a variety of typical scenes of everyday Parisian life. This publication later inspired a similar book for London and New York street-life. Labordes reputation was spreading further afield and in the spring of 1932 he went to New York at the invitation of Condé Nast publications.

Nineteenth century quarter maroon morocco maroon paper over boards; rubbed. Rubber-stamp of Abbe E. Emile Longin Beaujeu fl.1904; receipt of sale of this copy to Armand Pushman 1932 NYC. First edition. This work was first translated into English in 1693. "At this time a major preoccupation of the Catholic Church and its China mission was to discover a safe land route from Europe to Peking through central Asia. This was due to the large numbers of out-going clergy who perished tragically every year at sea." Ames & Love p. 202. "The last decade of the century saw the publication of the accounts of several overland travelers to China and their destinations of China’s inner-Asian neighbors. The story of the Jesuit Philippe Avril’s attempt to establish a route across Russia for the safe passage of missionaries to China appeared in 1692 and includes descriptions of both the routes from Moscow to China and the peoples on China’s frontiers. Avril himself however did not travel beyond Moscow and his descriptions therefore are not the result of his own observations." Lach & Kley pp. 1685-1686. The same for Nicolaas Witsen. Avril Philippe a Jesuit born in France explored extensively throughout Asia and the Far East. He was a professor of mathematics and philosophy in Paris before he began his overland journey. He traveled for six years through Kurdistan Armenia Astrakhan Persia and other parts of the southeast. At one point he came to Moscow and was refused entry to Tatary. He was sent by the government to Poland via Istanbul and back to France. Apparently affected by exhaustion and disease he still undertook another voyage his last for the ship was lost at sea circa 1698. – Love Ronald S. "A Passage to China: A French Jesuit’s Perceptions of Siberia in the 1680s." French Colonial History 3: p. 94 2003. Ames & Love offer: "Though obliged to leave Moscow Avril did not return to France with Louis Barnabe . . . Remaining instead at Warsaw the two Jesuits had entered in early March 1688 Avril attempted twice more to achieve his objective or reaching China by land – if not through Siberia then via Persia and Central Asia. Aided in part by the Polish monarch John Sobieski r.1674-1696 and his ambassador to Russia the French priest once again traveled to Moscow in late spring. Just two days after his arrival in the Muscovite capital however Avril was ordered summarily out of the country. Once again he appealed the command in vain. ‘Russia intended to keep her trade with China a secret.’ Nor did he have better luck later the same year 1688 when he and a fellow Jesuit Pere de Beauvillier tried going south to Constantinople instead and thence through Persia to Bokhara Samarkland and the Chinese frontier. Crossing secretly into Ottoman territory the two men were arrested as spies. After several weeks they secured their release and resumed their trek. But Avril whose health had been waning as a result of relentless exertions suddenly developed a hemorrhage. Ordered to abandon the search and return home by his superiors he reached France in autumn 1689." Ames & Love p. 219. For Abbe Emile Longin provenance: see Bulletin de la Societe des sciences et arts du Beaujolais 1904 p.92. There is a Maggs Bros.
