Lonchamp Manuel du Bibliophile Français 1470-1920 II 361; Vicaire Manuel de l'Amateur de Livres du XIXe siècle VI 550. Joints a little worn though nicely refurbished a four-inch superficial scratch on rear board but A VERY FINE COPY--the striking binding with lustrous leather and glittering gilt; the contents entirely clean fresh and bright; and the margins vast.<br/> <br/> This grandly proportioned bibliophile's edition of Perrault's fairy tales is sumptuous to the last detail with lush facsimile watercolor illustrations and a binding by a leading French artisan. Charles Perrault 1628-1703 reworked traditional folklore into sophisticated fairy tales for the denizens of the intellectual salons of Paris ending each story with a usually cynical moral in couplets. He is credited with inventing the fairy tale genre and the Brothers Grimm--not to mention Walt Disney--profited greatly from his oeuvre. These two publications include three of his best-known tales--Cinderella Bluebeard and Sleeping Beauty--alongside the lesser-known "Les Fées.†Literally translated as “The Fairies†but generally called "Diamonds and Toads" in English this fourth tale features a pair of sisters who meet a fairy in disguise and are rewarded or punished based on their behavior toward her. The son of a sculptor our illustrator Charles-Édouard de Beaumont 1812-88 had initially trained to follow in his father's footsteps but instead became a painter illustrator and lithographer working across genres and media through his career. He is best known for his watercolors and for his work to encourage the popularity of the medium; in 1879 he co-founded the Society of French Watercolorists with Jehan Georges Vibert. Benezit tells us that "as a watercolourist . . . his style is highly individual and personal and it may be claimed that his work broke new ground." This is evident in the present artworks where the characters--charming comical and terrifying--are depicted with graceful linework and gentle washes of color. Beaumont's artwork interacts physically with the text which is sometimes obscured behind a painted curl of smoke or pushed out of the way by the feet of the optimistic suitors of Cinderella's prince. Beaumont had a love for historical weaponry his collection was donated to the Museum of Cluny after his death and he depicted the knives and swords in the famous tale of the murderer Bluebeard with an almost gleeful accuracy of detail that clearly demonstrates his interest. The imposing binding with lacy detail calling to mind the decorations of the era in which Perrault first published these stories is the work of Henri Noulhac. Described as "a superlative craftsman" by Duncan & De Bartha who reproduce four of his bindings in their "Art Nouveau and Art Deco Bookbinding" Noulhac 1866-1931 was born in Chateauroux where he served his apprenticeship. He afterwards moved in 1894 to Paris where he established his atelier at 10 rue de Buci and gained a reputation as one of the foremost binders and gilders of his generation. In addition to the binding and the illustrations here the condition of this volume needs to be highlighted--the book seems to be fresh from the binder's atelier untouched by any reader.

1886007348Asnières-sur-Seine: Boussod Valadon & Cie 1886. First Edition Thus. Full Decorated Morocco. Near Fine.

Some illustrations remain in black and white but most were hand-colored and to a high level.

Condition: A few small spots of soil on the morocco. Light scattered soiling and/or foxing -- overall the book still reads as clean. Small stamp in corner of front blank -- back of FFEP -- from Easton Neston Library. As this discreet stamp is the only sign of a library provenance the book has none of the negative associations people would make of ex-lib and we have priced the copy accordingly.
