Édition originale. Un des 10 premiers exemplaires réimposés sur chine n° 6 avec un second portrait hors-texte de Cendrars par Modigliani reproduit en noir comme pour les 40 réimposés sur hollande. Envoi signé : « à monsieur Desanges fondeur en bronze ses poèmes élastiques fragiles éphémères avec ma main amie Blaise Cendrars 20 avril 1953 ». 1919 est une année féconde pour Blaise Cendrars : outre la naissance de sa fille Miriam il publie trois textes majeurs : les Dix-neuf poèmes élastiques Au Sans Pareil le recueil de poèmes Du Monde entier aux Éditions de la Nouvelle Revue française et La Fin du Monde filmée par l'Ange Notre-Dame aux Éditions de la Sirène avec des compositions de Léger qui font date. Les 19 poèmes élastiques constituent le quatrième volume de la collection Littérature Au Sans Pareil. L'illustrateur choisi pour le frontispice est cette fois-ci Amédéo Modigliani d'un titre qui succède aux Mains de Jeanne-Marie d'Arthur Rimbaud avec un portrait par J.-L. Forain au Mont de Piété d'André Breton avec deux dessins d'André Derain et aux Lettres de Guerre de Jacques Vaché avec un dessin de l'auteur. Cendrars écrit en postface cette curieuse notule : « nés à l'occasion d'une rencontre d'une amitié d'un tableau d'une polémique ou d'une lecture les quelques poèmes qui précèdent appartiennent au genre si décrié des poèmes de circonstance. A l'exception de deux ou trois ils ont été publiés par des revues étrangères Le Mercure de France Vers et Prose Les Soirées de Paris et Poème et Drame c'est-à-dire que les aînés les poètes déjà classés et la soi-disant avant-garde refusaient ma collaboration. C'est qu'à ce moment-là il ne faisait pas bon en France d'être un jeune authentique parmi «les jeunes». B.C. ». Au moins deux exemplaires sur papier vert ceux de Jacques et de Debeer sont connus. Ils sont également réimposés avec le second portrait. Marges de la couverture salie quelques rousseurs. Paris, Au sans pareil, coll. « Littérature », (15 août) 1919. 1 vol.

Débarqué à Paris en 1910 Moïse Kisling devait bientôt faire la connaissance de Cendrars : « À cette époque les peintres et les écrivains c'était pareil. On vivait mélangés avec probablement les mêmes soucis ; on peut même dire que chaque écrivain avait son peintre » dira Cendrars. Si Kisling n'est pas « son » peintre il va devenir à l'occasion de la guerre l'un de ses plus proches amis. Lorsqu'éclate le conflit Kisling étranger comme Cendrars s'engage dans la légion ; comme son frère d'arme il sera grièvement blessé à la ferme Navarin au cours de la grande offensive de Champagne. Blaise Cendrars qui y perdra sa main droite écrit alors La Guerre au Luxembourg qu'illustrera Kisling en 1916. Paris, Au Sans Pareil, (15 avril) 1927. 1 vol. (120 x 190 mm) de 258 p. et [3] f.

Blaise Cendrars nom de plume for Frederic-Louis Sauser 1887-1961 the "heir of Rimbaud" greatly influenced the European Modernist movement with his early works including this one which tells of the voyage of Cendrars through Russia on the Trans-Siberian Express in 1905 during the Russian Revolution. First published in 1913 it is still considered a milestone in the evolution of artist's books; it was interlaced with an abstract pochoir by Sonia Delaunay-Terk bound accordion style and would have measured almost 7 feet tall when unfolded. This version by The Old Stile Press illustrated in vinylcuts by Natalie d'Arbeloff keeps the almost-abstract nature of the original but with a modern sense. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Bound in red and blue paper boards gold cloth spine with bronze lettering the front cover being red and the back being blue the covers have the title printed in silver wrapping from the back to front in large woodcut type endpapers are of the same red and blue but with the the front blue and the back red half-title in French with a vinylcut of the author double-spread title page in black woodcut title and gold text Natalie d'Arbeloff's vinylcut images are printed direct from her original blocks in black ink the text was printed in twenty-four different colours "chosen at random from a battery of inks deemed suitable" N.

2018CNBR360Playa Vista California: Two Hands Press 2018. Limited Edition. Accordion. Fine. Delauney Sonia. Lettered copy "X" of 30 lettered copies hors de commerce artist book folded accordion style. This the first Two Hands Press edition a facsimile - or "recreation" as the press prefers to describe it - of the first edition of 1913 lettered copy "X" of 30 lettered copies hors de commerce; there are also 150 numbered copies for a total edition of 180 copies. "Transsibérien" is considered a seminal avant-garde artist book of the 20th century; of the eleven copies of the original edition that have sold at auction in this century the average price realized has been about $200000. This is the first true facsimile using similar methods and materials as the first edition of 1913. <br/><br/>The original "La Prose du Transsibérien" was written designed and printed by letterpress and illustrated by pochoir in an edition that was stated to be 150 copies in three subsets in the French manner. The actual number completed has long been in dispute as has the number of surviving copies. A census by Kitty Marryat of the Two Hands Press located 40 copies; a French scholar claims to have recorded 73 copies but will not produce his list for examination. <br/><br/>The poem by Blaise Cendrars 1887-1961 Swiss-born modernist poet and novelist is a free verse free wheeling look at the poet's life and the events of the Russian Revolution as contemplated during a journey on the Trans-Siberian railway followed by a short poem about Paris. The letterpress text is printed in over 38 typefaces in four colors printed in 22 panels on a narrow long sheet. Cendrars's collaborator the artist Sonia Delaunay-Terk 1885-1979 interwove the text with colorful abstract pochoir that when folded made a relatively small accordion book but when fully opened was 78.25" by 14.25". Cendrars and Delaunay-Terk called it the "first simultaneous book." It created a sensation among those who saw it when it was first displayed particularly among those who were involved in the avant-garde artistic movement. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Artist book created by letterpress printing in four colours in sixteen print runs on a Heidelberg press which was digitally produced to match the original typefaces with the abstract artwork created using pochoir; when extended the "book" measures 78.25 by 14.25 inches folded accordion style vertically one time and horizontally twenty-one times which creates a 7.25 by 3.625 inch "book" paper label on one side of the folded "book" with the title and Kitty Marryat's signature that is enclosed in painted vellum wrappers. The folding pattern is deliberate such that "you can't actually see anything in the book neither the text nor the imagery until the book is completely unfolded" creating "a frisson of excitement as the book finally reveals itself". With a separate essay by Kitty Marryat proprietor of the Two Hands press on the history of La Prose du Transsibérien and how this re-creation was brought to life this also accordion style printed on one side only consisting of twelve panels with the colophon at the end this copy X of 30 lettered copies total edition 180 and signed by Kitty Marryat enclosed within a three-panel folding wallet which itself is enclosed within the vellum wrap which also protects the artist book this encased in a clear plexiglass slipcase. <br/><br/>___CONDITION: Fine as new having been acquired directly from the Two Hands Press; the plexi-glass slipcase also fine clean and without wear. <br/><br/>___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. <br/><br/>___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
