Two pages written in ink on blue headed paper from the Marignan building the writer's residence between 1936 and 1938. Transverse folds inherent to the folding of the letter for mailing. Moving letter addressed by Colette to her close friend following the death of her father Alexandre Natanson: "". ce dimanche va être un dimanche bien pénible. Je t'écris à l'heure juste où tu conduis ton père."" ""this Sunday is going to be a very painful Sunday. I am writing to you at the very moment when you are laying your father to rest."" Conscious of the suffering and ""chagrin"" ""grief"" of her ""chère Bolette"" ""dear Bolette"" she affectionately offers her support ""On croit toujours que la pensée qui est une force touche son but aussi bien qu'un message écrit."" ""We always believe that thought which is a force reaches its target as well as a written message."" ending her letter with a very beautiful declaration: ""Beaucoup de visages humains se penchent vers le tien et tu ne les aimes pas tous. Le mien que tu ne verras pas te suit de loin et s'inquiète de toi."" ""Many human faces lean toward yours and you do not love them all. Mine which you will not see follows you from afar and worries about you."" Bolette would commit suicide a few months later. Having evolved since her earliest childhood in artistic circles - she was the daughter of Alexandre and the niece of Thadée Natanson the creators of the famous Revue Blanche - Bolette Natanson 1892-1936 became friends with Jean Cocteau Raymond Radiguet Georges Auric Jean Hugo and also Colette. Passionate about couture she left Paris for the United States with Misia Sert a great friend of Coco Chanel and was hired at Goodman. With her husband Jean-Charles Moreux they created in 1929 the gallery Les Cadres on boulevard Saint-Honoré and frequented numerous artists and intellectuals. Their success was immediate and they multiplied their projects: the creation of the fireplace for Winnaretta de Polignac the decoration of the château de Maulny the arrangement of Baron de Rothschild's private mansion the creation of frames for industrialist Bernard Reichenbach and finally the creation of the storefront for Colette's beauty institute in 1932. Bolette Natanson also framed the works of her prestigious painter friends: Bonnard Braque Picasso Vuillard Man Ray André Dunoyer de Segonzac etc. Despite this meteoric rise she would end her life in December 1936 a few months after her father's death. unknown

L'Entrave.

191321235391913. Paris: Librairie des Lettres. 1913. 8vo. Original cream wrappers printed in grey and red uncut preserved in a modern cloth slipcase; pp. iv 307 1 blank; book and inkwell device to upper wrapper and title; a few light stains to upper wrapper short tear to head of upper joint neatly repaired hinges reinforced; uniform light toning light marginal dampstaining mostly at the beginning small hole repaired and traces of adhesive to inner margin of front free endpaper and half-title; overall a remarkably good copy; presentation inscription to half-title in ink: 'A Georges Abric en temoignage d'une grande sympathie Colette de Jouvenel' see below.First edition in book form particularly rare in the original wrappers inscribed by Colette to one of the witnesses at her second wedding.Originally serialised in La Vie Parisienne L'Entrave The Shackle is the sequel to La Vagabonde 1910. Reflecting Colette's own life however the tone of the two novels differs markedly: if La Vagabonde celebrates independence and self-discovery L'Entrave turns inward exploring the ambivalence and quiet disillusion that come with love's constraints. In the intervening years Colette at the time of publication married to Henri Gauthier-Villars better known by his pen name Willy had married the journalist and diplomat Henry de Jouvenel 1876-1935 and given birth to their daughter Colette de Jouvenel 1913-1981. She recalled with characteristic humour in L'Etoile Vesper the double strain of childbearing and serial publication: 'The child and the novel were racing me and La Vie Parisienne which was publishing my unfinished novel in instalments was gaining ground. The child announced that it would arrive first and I screwed the cap back onto my pen'. Colette and de Jouvenel divorced in 1924 after she became romantically involved with his son their affair inspiring her the characters of Phil and Mme Dalleray in Le Ble en herbe 1923.In later years Colette was unsparing in her assessment of L'Entrave criticising its 'narrow ending' 'diminished heroes' and 'blessing tone'.Provenance: From the library of Georges Abric editor-in-chief of Le Matin and a close friend of Henry de Jouvenel. Together with Leon Hamel and Jean Sapene Abric was one of the witnesses temoins at the wedding of Colette and Jouvenal on 19 December 1912.See La Societe des amis de Colette online. hardcover

Spine with some wear adn rubbing.Geneviève de Léotard 1899 was a precocious book artist. She began studying bookbinding at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 1912 when she was only 12 with an emphasis on gilding. On graduation she worked with Pierre Legrain as did many of the great women binders becoming an independent binder in 1925. In 1927 she won the Prix Blumenthal and then became a teacher at her alma mater teaching many of the next generation of binders including probably Lucette Levy whose bindings are shown in this catalogue. De Leotard was adventurous and rather avant-garde in her choice of materials often mixing different skins and shades with perfect subtlety and her strong linear geometric style. Her graphic style was very crisp and her immaculate gilding and design skills were much appreciated by the bibliophiles of her time.Duncan and Bartha: Art nouveau and art deco bookbinding With original drawings by Jean Pavie bound into an Art Deco binding by Geneviève De Léotard Les Arts et le livre unknown

Dialogues de bêtes

1904#17Colette Dialogues de bêtes Paris Société du Mercure de France 1904. Square 12mo. Half red morocco with bands spine with raised bands highlighted with gilt and blind fillets. Top edge gilt. Original wrappers and spine preserved. First edition of the ordinary issue following only 19 copies on Holland paper. Copy enriched with a first autograph inscription signed in black ink on the first leaf traducted in English : "To Gaston Carraud in friendly remembrance from the author Colette Willy." Followed by a second autograph inscription signed in blue ink on the same leaf: "To you now dear Philippe Hériat in memory of a cat and a dog who have become ghosts and of a young woman who has become an old writer Colette." An exceptional testimony to Colette's emancipation embodied in these two inscriptions separated by more than thirty years. Dialogues de bêtes is the first work by Colette to appear after the Claudine series published under the name of her husband Henri Gauthier-Villars. For the first time Colette allowed her own name to appear on the cover signing "Colette Willy." This text marks the beginning of her gradual literary emancipation although it is preceded by the dedication "Pour amuser Willy." In Mes Apprentissages 1936 she would write: "I was vaguely awakening to a duty toward myself—to write something other than the Claudine books. And drop by drop I exuded the Dialogues de bêtes." The 1904 first edition contains four dialogues to which eight more were added in 1905 and 1930 forming the definitive edition. The anthropomorphic characters Toby-Chien and Kiki-la-Doucette were warmly received and remain among the most emblematic features of her work. The particular value of this copy lies in the author's double inscription. Everything contributes to making it a singular witness to Colette's emancipation beginning with the recipients themselves. The first inscription is addressed to Gaston Carraud a composer and mutual acquaintance of the Gauthier-Villars couple while the second is addressed to Philippe Hériat whom Colette likely met in the 1930s when he played a role in Divine 1935 a film whose screenplay and dialogue were written by Colette after L'Envers du music-hall. The signatures themselves are also significant: the first inscription is signed "Colette Willy" a form the author used more or less regularly until 1923 after which she signed only her own name as seen in the second inscription. Even the ink used offers a subtle echo: first black ink then blue—this blue so dear to Colette the blue of Le Fanal bleu which appeared even in her inkwell and on her writing paper. The inscriptions are dated in pencil likely in Philippe Hériat's hand "1904" and "1938." An entire writer's life separates these two inscriptions by Colette in the same copy. Mercure de France

First edition - presentation-copy and one of 175 numbered copies on Hollande premier papier out of a total of 725 numbered copies - of Colette's fascinating novel "Chéri" published at the dawn of the roaring 20'ies. The scandalous novel which portrays the love between an older woman and a much younger man is partly inspired by Colette's own life and is considered one of her very best works. Extremely controversial as a person Colette has always been the object of fascination as well as controversy. In 1893 she married Henry Gauthier-Villars who was already a famous author and publisher. He used the pen-name "Willy" under which Colette's famous first novels the Claudine-stories also appeared. Colette and Willy separated in 1906 with a final divorce in 1910. Colette is well known for the series of lesbian relationships she embarked upon after her separation. In 1912 however she married Henry de Jouvenel editor of Le Matin and took his name. Not for her publications but she clearly used it in her personal correspondence. Their marriage ended in divorce in 1924 however due partly to her affair with her 16-year-old stepson Bertrand de Jouvenel. Chéri is partly based upon her experiences with her much younger stepson. " 'Me a feminist' She scoffed in 1910. 'I'll tell you what the suffragettes deserve: the whip and the harem'. COLETTE is an intriguing and flamboyant figure. Born in Burgundy in 1873 she moved to Paris at the age of twenty with her husband the writer and critic Henry Gauthiers-Viller Willy. Forcing Colette to write Willy published her novels in his name and the Claudine series became an instant success. She escaped her exploitative first husband to live by her pen and work in music-halls as a dancer. Colette had a lesbian love affair with a niece of Napoleon's she married three times had a baby at 40 and at 47 preferring 'passion to goodness' she seduced her teenage stepson. In the meantime she wrote stunning novels that were admired by Proust and Gide -- Gigi Sido Cheri and Break of Day. Colette lived to be over 80. She was the first woman President of the Academie Goncourt and was the first woman in France to be accorded a state funeral." "Colette in full Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette 1873 - 1954 outstanding French writer of the first half of the 20th century whose best novels largely concerned with the pains and pleasures of love are remarkable for their command of sensual description. Her greatest strength as a writer is an exact sensory evocation of sounds smells tastes textures and colours of her world. Her best work was produced after 1920 and followed two veins. The first vein followed the lives of the slightly depraved postwar younger generation. Among these novels are Chéri 1920 and La Fin de Chéri 1926; The Last of Chéri dealing with a liaison between a young man Chéri and an older woman. Encycl. Britt. René Baer 1887 - 1962 was a famous French author journalist playwright and songwriter. Georges Leroux 1922-1999 was one of the most accomplished and esteemed French binders of the twentieth century. Before he became a book binder in 1959 he was a poet. His works are known for their exotic materials use of metallic effects and strong polychromatic color. hardcover
