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.

108160Paris La Sirène 1920. . First edition first printing one of one of 50 deluxe copies on Whatman; square 4to 25.5 x 25.5 cm; 8 circular pochoir plates 'colorié au patron' and 60 black and white illustrations in the text after Laforge; modern black morocco flat spine title in silver to spine original pink wrappers bound in a fine copy.<br /> misc23 Charles Perrault's classic fairy tales are here illustrated with striking art deco pochoir plates by Lucien Laforge. This copy is from the first printing of 50 examples on thick paper and is not only much rarer than the general trade edition but is far superior in terms of quality. <br /><br />Lucien Laforge was born in Paris in 1889 and was a staunch pacifist feigning lunacy twice to be discharged during WWI. He published a work in 1922 titled 'le film 1914' which satirised the conflict with grotesque cartoons blaming the horrors on the greed and stupidity of the wealthy elite. His simple and sometimes haunting style is also evident in his illustrations for fairy tales and was not considered fashionable at the time but displays the chilling legacy of the war. The bold black lines of his characters were incredibly progressive and appear almost cartoon-like.<br /> Paris, La Sirène, 1920. unknown
1759Perrault1759<p>PERRAULT Charles: Mémoires de Charles Perrault de l'Académie Françoise et Premier Commis des batimens du Roi. Contenant beaucoup de particularités & d'Anecdotes intéressantes du ministère de M. Colbert. Avignon: Pierre Patte 1759.</p><p>First edition of the Memoirs by the author of Mother Goose's Tales very rare when preserved in an elegant ancient binding as our copy. Tchemerzine V 188</p><p>The Memoirs stop after the break with Colbert and were published by the architect Pierre Patte. Originally coming from the region of Tours but established in Paris the Perrault family belongs to a haute bourgeoisie of Robe with a modern and Jansenist sensibility whose sons are lawyer Jean receiver general of finances Pierre architect and doctor Claude or doctor in theology Nicolas. As for Charles if he seems to follow a banal course of a future robin brilliant literary studies at the college of Beauvais in Paris law degrees and registration at the bar in 1651 he actually breaks with the school institution. Then we see him trying to celebrate the great events of the kingdom: odes on peace on the occasion of the Treaty of the Pyrenees 1659 on the wedding of Louis XIV and Marie-Therese 1660 on the birth of the Dauphin 1661 with a controversial literary talent by Racine but with a growing political success to the point of appearing soon to the young King and his administrators as a great choice to carry out the cultural project of the reordering of France; while he is committed to the superintendence of the royal buildings Perrault who has proved again his encomiastic science Discours sur lacquisition de Dunkerque par le roi 1663 is appointed on the recommendation of Chapelain secretary of the Petite Academy future Académie des inscriptions et des belles-lettres. He is elected to the French Academy 1671 of which he became Chancellor at the death of Seguier 1672 and redefines its rules of operation. Its effectiveness is once again such that in the same year Colbert creates for him a tailor-made position the general control of the buildings. After the death of Colbert 1683 he is dismissed from his position of Controller General and excluded from the Petite Académie by Louvois; only remained Director of the Academy he is de facto placed in an almost total retreat at the age of fifty-five. Charles Perrault then devotes himself to the education of his children he was a widower since 1678 but more importantly resumes and deepens a religious reflection Épître chrétienne sur la pénitence praise of Louis XIV protector of the Catholic religion 1683 ode Aux nouveaux convertis 1685 etc. which will prove to be the ethical base of the upcoming Quarrel of the Ancients and the Moderns. As evidenced by his consultation with two religious former moderates Bossuet and Huet about his Saint Paulin évêque de Nole 1686 epic in six songs that appears to be followed by an epistle to Fontenelle Le Génie. On January 27 1687 the public reading of the Siècle de Louis XIV by Charles Perrault to the glory of the Moderns caused a quarrel between the Ancients and the Moderns to burst whose stakes exceed the controversies of their respective leaders Boileau and himself. In fact it will result in the reconciliation 1694 of those who probably were differently of the same opinion Boileau.</p> [Pierre Patte] hardcover

"This edition contained few emendations but many important additions which based on various opinions prompted the author to reprint his version. He also changed three figures and added three plates one in Book VI and two in Book X. Although this work could have been further refined it nevertheless rightfully holds a prominent place among the Vitruvian versions and commentaries" Cicognara. Claude Perrault 1613-1688 was a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences and a doctor of medicine and anatomist in the faculty at Paris; he designed the Paris Observatory and participated in the design of the east façade of the Louvre. His published works are evidence of a polymathic mind encompassing architecture physics and natural history. Fowler ranks the present work among "the scholarly editions of Vitruvius Fowler. With engravings signed by: Sébastien Leclerc Jacques Grignon Georges Tournier Nicolas Pitau Gérard Edelinck Pieter Van Der Banck Gérard Scotin Jean Patigny Pierre Lepautre Etienne Gantrel.<br /> <br /> The military and civil engineer Marcus Vitruvius Pollio ca. 70-80 BCE - ca. 15 CE is the author of the only surviving ancient treatise on architecture arranged in ten books. By his own account Vitruvius served in the Roman army under the command of Julius Caesar. Rediscovered by the Florentine humanist Poggio Bracciolini 1380-1459 in the library of Saint Gall Abbey and publicized by Leon Battista Alberti 1404-1472 Vitruvius’ De Architectura would later define the canon of classical architecture. His assertion that structures should exhibit the three qualities of stability firmitatis utility utilitiatis and beauty venustatis became a commonplace in architectural theory. The wide-ranging program of De Architectura deals with “principles of buildings in general building materials designs of theatres temples and other public buildings town and country houses baths interior decoration and wall paintings clocks and dials astronomy mechanical and military engineering.†PMM. Throughout the Renaissance Vitruvius’ work provided inspiration for Michelangelo Leon Battista Alberti Donato Bramante Lorenzo Ghiberti Giacomo Vignola Andrea Palladio and many others.

LeClerc and on rear pastedown to the state of the engravings. <br/><br/>First Edition and second publication dealing with the comparative anatomy of the animals the chameleon the beaver the camel the bear and the gazelle. Perrault scientist and naturalist was the leader of a team of comparative anatomists called the Parisians that included Guichard-Joseph Duverney Jean Pecquet Moyse Charas and Philippe de la Hire. Their investigations began in June 1667 with a thresher shark and lion from the royal academy and went on to encompass forty-nine vertebrate species. The detailed reports and exact descriptions on these dissections were the first of a long series of anatomical descriptions which ultimately included those of twenty-five species of mammals seventeen birds five reptiles one amphibian and one fish. Perrault and the team of Parisians prided themselves on several discoveries and in the process debunked many popular myths attached to certain species such as the legend that salamanders live in fire or that chameleons subsist on air. The scientists also recorded how they obtained their results providing a glimpse of how such anatomical research was conducted in the seventeenth century. The work is illustrated beautifully with five large folding plates by the expert painter engraver and writer Sebastian Leclerc 1637-1714 four of which were engraved by Leclerc and one by the watercolor painter writer and printmaker Abraham Bosse c. 1604-1676. Very fine work; the large folding plates remain fresh and intact. No such detailed and exact descriptions and illustrations had been published before. It is hard to measure another such important addition to the anatomical study of animals. Frederic Leonard hardcover books
