Spines just lightly sunned bindings with very light signs of use boards with a hint of dulling from leather preservative faint offsetting from etchings onto titles and pages opposite each chapter opening otherwise very fine internally--entirely clean and fresh with spacious margins and in well-preserved attractive bindings.<br/> <br/> This substantially-sized stately set offers a winning combination of handsome bindings charming illustrations and a deluxe bibliophile's printing in a limited edition. A novel of historical fiction Mérimée's "Chronique" is set in the 16th century during the reign of Charles IX and the French Wars of Religion. The plot revolves around two brothers one Catholic and one a Protestant convert whose conflict in the end the Catholic brother is responsible for the Huguenot brother's death mirrors the wider discord of the period's French Wars of Religion. The novel is known for its meticulous descriptions and faithfulness to historic fact most notably its depiction of the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in which thousands of Huguenots were murdered by Catholic mobs. First published in 1829 the novel appears here with illustrations by Edmond Morin "a spirited French Artist" in Houfe's words who worked as a painter illustrator and etcher in Paris and London. Our author Prosper Mérimée 1803-70 would later become a pioneer of the novella and is best known for his work "Carmen" upon which Bizet's famous opera was based. In addition to his literary contributions Mérimée also played a key role in the conservation of French history. As Inspector-General of Historical Monuments from 1833-52 he travelled extensively around France documenting the country's architectural treasures and facilitating plans for their repair and preservation. His more well-known projects include the restoration of the facade of Notre-Dame de Paris saving Vézelay Abbey from collapse and conserving the six tapestries collectively known as "The Lady and the Unicorn." The attractive bindings here are the work of Pétrus Ruban 1851-1929. Praised by the bibliophile Octave Uzanne for taking inspiration from everything around him--flowers birds architecture--and for his facility with colors Ruban became quite a fashionable binder who worked largely for the great collectors of the day among them Beraldi Baudin Granjon de l'Espinay and Romagnol. Flety notes that "with a fertile imagination he practices all genres of binding with equal felicity"--a talent that is very much on display here. Ruban won silver medals at the Palace of Industry and at the Universal Exposition in 1889 with judges at the latter praising his careful study of both historic master binders and modern artists noting that Ruban would "soon achieve the rank he so rightly seeks.".

182886036Paris: Brissot-Thivars 1828. Fine. Brissot-Thivars Paris 1828 21.20 x 12.70 cm relié First edition from Balzac's printing house. Between 1826 and 1828 Balzac purchased a printing house and partnered with a typographer but the enterprise went bankrupt in 1828. Books printed for Balzac show a concern for typography and fine book production. Bound in half burgundy long-grain morocco with corners ca. 1840. Spine with raised bands decorated with 5 tools blind and gilt fillets head and tail rolls. Double fillet border on boards and corners. Some scattered browning. Louis Gillet bookplate. Very fine copy. La jacquerie and La famille de Carjaval are two dramatic and historical pieces that evoke Schiller's theatre. These dramatic scenes were intended to be read rather than performed. In La Jacquerie Mérimée reverses the vision of this peasant revolt through the prism of new romantic historiography and the peasants are no longer perceived as bloodthirsty barbarians but as victims of absolutism. With economy of means and a clear concise style Mérimée brings this feudal epic to life before our eyes. Brissot-Thivars hardcover
