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

190777332s. l. Paris 1907. Fine. Colette the ""nude dancer"" in her stage costume s. l. Paris s. d. 1907 28.70 x 20.40 cm une photographie contrecollée sur carton Rare and superb original contemporary mounted albumen print showing Colette languidly stretched out on a lion skin and covered with a leopard skin. Photographer's penciled number and studio stamp on the back of the mount. A substantially cropped print bearing the same penciled number on the back of our photograph 11214 is in the Reutlinger archives at the Bibliothèque nationale de France Album Reutlinger de portraits divers vol. 53 p.3. We have been unable to find any other examples of this photograph in other public collections. A similar photograph belatedly dedicated to Maurice Chevalier went on sale in 2008. A beautiful sultry shot of Colette probably taken the year of her banned dance show ""Rêve d'Egypte"" at the Moulin Rouge where she shared the bill and a scandalous kiss with her cross-dressing aristocrat lover Missy. ""Colette was a nude dancer which at the time meant that she . draped herself in vaporous veils concealing part of her anatomy under animal skins"" Paula Dumont. Colette had already used animal skins hugging her figure in this picture as a sensual costume in Charles Van Lerberghe's Pan accompanied on stage by Lugné-Poe and Georges Wague. This was the first time anyone had dared to go without a flesh-colored body suit. Justifying her choice she went on to say: ""I want to dance naked if the body suit bothers me and humiliates my plasticity"". At the time of this photograph in 1907 Colette was performing in countless shows following her debut two years earlier in Nathalie Clifford Barney's Sapphic Salon where Mata Hari also danced. For Colette dance was synonymous with emancipation in more ways than one - as a means of sustenance and liberation of her body which finally belonged to her after her separation from her abusive husband Willy in 1906. Her undulating almost gestureless dance was linked by contemporary critics to that of Loïe Fuller and Isadora Duncan; her greatest success remained ""La Chair"" a risqué mime show she performed two hundred times in Paris and was subsequently produced with a new cast in New York's Manhattan Opera House. It was also in the halls of Parisian dance venues that Colette flaunted herself freely on the arm of her lovers. Her scandalous union with Missy the virile Marquise de Morny who accompanied her on stage in male costumes contributed to the fame of her performances. This is probably the rarest photograph of Colette taken by Reutlinger who also photographed her draped in Grecian style or wearing her costume from ""Le Rêve d'Egypte"". A rare visual testimony to a revolution in dance costume brought about by Colette a key figure in twentieth-century artistic and literary Paris. unknown
