Ex-libris and oval gilt morocco bookplate of Estelle Doheny on front pastedown. <br/><br/>This is a deluxe issue of the famous monograph written and illustrated by Jules Adeline on the grotesque Gothic sculptures and gargoyles in the region of Rouen. Amply illustrated on fine papier de Chine it is numbered 2 in the first set of 20 and is initialed by Jules Adeline on the edition leaf. The deluxe edition of this monograph printing is quite rare. This was the tirage tout spécial destined for distribution between the author and printers circle. By Adelines initials we conclude this copy enjoyed that privileged circulation. Adeline was a fixture in his hometown of Rouen. His career began in architectural sketching where he developed a keen eye for depicting the monumental sculpture in his native French medieval city. Adeline also worked as a caricaturist and artistic columnist for several newspapers including the "Journal de Rouen" "Rouen Nouvelliste" and "Le Progrès de Rouen." In particular this publication dealt with the satirical and symbolic sculptures that he encountered on the winding avenues of Rouen. With contributions from Champfleury a trailblazer of Realism in painting and literature this work was celebrated for its conclusions in medieval art iconography mainly that hybrid characters embodied complex nuanced and understated ideas that often resist exact interpretation. The custom presentation binding of cuir-ciselé cut-leatherwork is most exceptional. Not only is it unusual in treatment but also it incorporates two relief panels from the Cathedral of Rouen in the form of characteristic medieval grotesques. Not much is known about the Parisian binder Quinet but he can be linked to other bindings of the late-nineteenth century many described as magnificently gilt. This artisanal binding is unparalleled in its distinctive medieval-revival leather craftsmanship; it is period to five years of the printing and would have circulated through Jules Adeline himself perhaps even by his commission.
