004987Paris: Agence Générale de Publicité et de PropagandePrinter: E. Desfosses. Wraps. Brochure. Near Fine. N.d. circa 1930. 8vo. 24.5 by 18.5 cm. Unpaginated 31 leaves all of a weighty card stock or over 60 pages about half with color plates we count 31 but one can quibble about whether one or two of them so qualify. Eleven of these are non-product illustrations -- attempts to capture concepts or abstractions -- the balance being exquisite depictions of the company's fine perfume bottles. The catalogue exudes an unalloyed dreamy luxury in every respects as befits high-end perfume marketing. Cassandre a name adopted by the Ukrainian-born Adolphe Jean-Marie Mouron 1901-1968 -- his parents were French -- was a highly celebrated commercial artist theatrical designer magazine illustrator and poster artist. He worked heavily with the prestige printer Draeger as well as the couturier Lucien Lelong and others. In time he was awarded the French Legion of Honor. Lelong was a top Parisian couturier from the twenties til his retirement in the late forties. He was himself not a designer but rather relied on a stable of designers and among his proteges was Christian Dior. As this catalogue also shows dress designers were branching out into fragrances for a long time; this catalogue predates the creation of Chanel No. 5 by a few years. Light wear to the wraps -- a minor closed tear along the upper joint and some minor wrinkling or creasing to the cover paper. Otherwise clean and fresh. <br /><br /> Agence Générale de Publicité et de PropagandePrinter: E. Desfosses. paperback books

123156New York: Herald Book and Job Office 97 Nassau Street 1846. Single sheet folio 492 x 628 mm. Printed on recto only title and three columns of verse surrounded by a highly elaborate border composed of printer's ornaments. Very good with old folds slightly toned two 30 mm closed tears to top margin minor loss to right margin at point of fold no loss of image. Together with single issue of the Sacramento Union: Folio 430 x 585 mm 4pp. Very good lightly toned and foxed with evidence of a former binding along left margin. § A New Year's address to the readers of the New York Herald reviewing the events of 1845 in enthusiastic verse the broadsheet is notable for an extraordinarily elaborate decorative border composed primarily of printer's ornaments. The review runs through the highlights of 1845's local national and international events among them the Great Fire of New York the election of Polk and the Irish Potato Famine. Accompanying the broadside is a contemporaneous issue of the Sacramento Union which on its back page bears a similar New Year's address with border composed of printer's ornaments. It is interesting to compare the two both for the news reviewed and for the typographic resources available to the East and West coast printers. Both addresses refer to the imminent statehood of Texas and Oregon; the Sacramento Union alone spends several lines decrying the issue of slavery. Herald Book and Job Office unknown books
