184594<p>Large 8vo mm 242x160 pp. 48; a good copy in early 20th-century half morocco spine lettered gilt the original printed wrappers and spine bound in; with stamp of the 'Société Démulation du Dept. des Vosges' to upper wrapper; bookplate of Emmy Joubert; <strong>with one page autograph ms. by Mérimée tipped in</strong>. <strong>The first appearance in print of <em>Carmen</em></strong>. Mérimée's short novel was first published in the journal <em>Revue des Deux Mondes</em> in 1845. It passed virtually unnoticed and did not receive a single review. Mérimée reworked the text before publishing it in book form alongside two other novellas the following year. In 1852 <em>Carmen</em> appeared as the first text in a collection of Mérimée's works <em>Nouvelles</em> together with Mérimée's own translation of Pushkin's <em>The Gypsies</em>. In this form it began to enjoy some success and <em>Nouvelles</em> was reprinted regularly throughout the 1850s and 1860s <strong>but it was not until 1875 with the creation of Bizet's opera based closely on Mérimée's text that the Carmen myth was created</strong>.<br /><br />A separate off-print on <em>papier vélin</em> is also known printed in a very small number of copies.<br /><br />The autograph ms. is a memo on the Revolution of 1848 with reference to the recovery of looted material from the museums and national collections in Paris: '… Des ouvriers pauvres ont rapporté au Musée du Louvre des camées d'un prix inestimable trouvés dans les appartements des Tuileries. Ils n'ont accepté aucune récompense et n'ont pas même voulu faire connaitre leurs noms. Déjà par cette improvisation de l'ordre unique chez les Français d'autres citoyens avaient eu l'heureuse idée de porter à leurs musées des objets d'art trouvés dans des résidences royales …' From 1834-1860 Mérimée held the position of inspector general of historic monuments and he published many reports in this official capacity. The present note which has been dated 1848 in pencil in a later hand is evidently a contemporary account of the events of that year.</p> Au Bureau de la Revue des Deux Mondes
