Édition originale. Envoi signé : « à Maurice de Lacoste bien amicalement Pierre Loti ». . En 1901 lorsque Pierre Loti visite Angkor il accomplit l'un de ses plus anciens rêves. Ce rêve remonte à l'enfance : son frère aîné Gustave médecin de marine mort à Saïgon en 1865 avait rapporté d'Indochine des objets des notes et des récits qui avaient durablement frappé l'imagination du futur écrivain. Voir Angkor pour Loti ce n'est donc pas seulement découvrir un site mythique mais c'est rejoindre une promesse ancienne qu'il effectue au cours d'une mission officielle en Extrême-Orient. A cette date le Cambodge est placé sous protectorat français depuis 1863 et Angkor devient progressivement un objet d'étude de restauration de prestige et de projection pour l'administration coloniale et les savants français. L'École française d'Extrême-Orient commence alors à jouer un rôle décisif dans la conservation et la mise en valeur du site. Un pèlerin d'Angkor est à la fois un document sur la rencontre occidentale avec les ruines khmères un jalon dans l'histoire littéraire d'Angkor et l'un des derniers grands livres de voyage de Loti.

Édition originale. Envoi signé : « à Maurice de Lacoste son ami Pierre Loti ». . Le 9 mai 1901 Le Figaro publie en une le premier épisode d'un récit qui s'étalera jusqu'à la fin du mois de décembre. Pierre Loti célèbre pour ses romans orientalistes y raconte son voyage en Chine où il s'est rendu l'année précédente à bord du cuirassé Le Redoutable. En tant que lieutenant de vaisseau il participe en effet à la guerre des Boxers qui secoue le pays depuis 1899 opposant les rebelles chinois les Boxers aux colons étrangers l'alliance des huit nations parmi lesquelles la France. Dans un lettre adressée au vice-amiral Pottier Loti précise qu'il s'est « borné à noter les choses qui ont passé directement sous mes yeux au cours des missions que vous m'avez données et d'un voyage que vous m'avez permis de faire dans une certaine chine jusqu'ici à peu près inconnue. Quand nous sommes arrivés dans la mer Jaune Pékin était pris et les batailles finissaient. » C'est néanmoins une cité saccagée que découvre Pierre Loti : la capitale à l'été 1900 a vu la confrontation entre les légations étrangères assiégées et les troupes des Boxers soutenues par le pouvoir impérial. Le siège qu'on appellera les « 55 jours de Pékin » s'est soldé par la victoire des puissances étrangères et le massacre des Chinois rebelles. La guerre des Boxers prend fin en septembre avec la signature d'un traité de paix. Le récit de Loti sera publié dans Le Figaro jusqu'au 30 décembre 1901 et paraîtra sous forme de livre en mars 1902. Intéressant exemplaire offert à un proche et fidèle camarade de Navale Maurice de Lacoste. Natif de Metz en 1864 ce dernier entre à l'école navale en 1882 quinze ans après Loti. Aspirant de 1ere classe en octobre 1885 il est tout d'abord affecté dans la division navale d'Extrême-Orient.

189773993Paris: Imprimerie Champenoispour CH. MassonH. Piazza 1897. Fine. Imprimerie Champenois pour CH. Masson H. Piazza Paris Novembre 1897 24 x 35 cm une feuille et une serpente Rare original color lithograph executed by Jacques Wely for L'Estampe Moderne series number 7 published in November 1897. One of 50 deluxe proofs printed on Japan paper with wide margins artist's signature and date in the plate publisher's dry stamp depicting a child's profile in the lower margin numbered stamp of the deluxe printing on the verso minimal corner damage of no consequence; engraving preceded by a tissue guard captioned with the artist's name title and a poem; blank tissue guard. Lithograph inspired by a text by Pierre Loti from his novel Mon frère Yves of which an extract is reproduced on the print's tissue guard. Magnificent French monthly publication issued between May 1897 and April 1899 L'Estampe moderne consists of original chromolithographs which unlike other magazines such as Les Maîtres de l'Affiche and as stipulated on the tissue guards were created specially by each artist for the magazine. Thus 100 prints appeared in total covering the major artistic movements of the late 19th century: Symbolism Art Nouveau Pre-Raphaelites Orientalists and Belle Époque. Each issue of four prints was printed in 2000 copies sold for 3.50F and 100 on Japan paper offered at 10F. Henri Piazza also planned a confidential deluxe printing: 50 copies on Japan paper with wide margins and 50 in black on China paper at the considerable price of 30F. This print in a handsome format is superbly printed on the most prestigious of papers: Japan. Thick silky satin and pearlescent it contributes to making each page a work in its own right. Its quality of ink absorption and its affinity with colors also make it the ideal support for these very fine lithographs. French collectors' interest in artistic posters intensified in the early 1890s. Octave Uzanne to describe this fever invented the term ""affichomanie."" The poster originally popular and plastered on the streets of the capital then became an art object and its ephemeral medium became precious and destined for preservation. Piazza decided to remove the poster from its advertising vocation and elevate it to the rank of a complete work of art on the same level as the luxury illustrated book. He thus composed a prestigious collection of entirely original works by the most prominent European artists of the moment: Georges de Feure Eugène Grasset Henri Detouche Emile Berchmans Louis Rhead Gaston de Latenay Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer Gustave-Max Stevens Charles Doudelet Hans Christiansen Henri Fantin-Latour Steinlen Ibels Engels Willette Henri Meunier Evenepoël Bellery-Desfontaines Charles Léandre etc. Handsome copy in the Belle Époque style.

Drawing heavily from his experiences in the French Navy and his travels across the Middle East Asia and the South Pacific Loti crafted atmospheric narratives that blended personal reflection with vivid depictions of foreign cultures. His works such as Aziyadé Pêcheur d’Islande An Iceland Fisherman and Madame Chrysanthème were widely read and admired for their lyrical prose and emotional depth. Loti became a member of the Académie française in 1891 cementing his status as a major literary figure of the Belle Époque. Calman-Levy hardcover
1927ST12683-311Paris: Henri Floury 1927. No. 270 OF 274 COPIES on vélin d'Arches of a total edition of 302. 245 x 192 mm. 9 1/2 x 7 1/2". 84 2 pp. 1 leaf colophon. <br/> Publisher's color illustrated wrappers original glassine. With 76 illustrations including wrapper image by André Hellé hand colored in gouache via pochoir stenciling by J. Saudé. ◆Half-inch joint split at spine head and tail mild edgewear glassine with many small chips to spine and edges but AN EXTREMELY APPEALING COPY the fragile book quite solid and internally quite clean fresh and bright with very rich coloring.<br/> <br/> Illustrated with great charm in vivid colors this volume is comprised of two Loti stories that harken back to his childhood in the city of Saint Pierre on Oléron an island off France's Atlantic coast. "House of Grandmothers" and "Miss Anna A Very Humble Doll" are memoirs intended for children of all ages. "Pierre Loti" is the pseudonym for Julien Viaud 1850-1923 who wrote popular novels at the same time that he was a career officer in the French navy. He was known for incorporating material from his life and details from the exotic places he visited to give his novels deep levels of emotion and authenticity. Inspired by Monet he endeavored to write as the Impressionists painted. Contemporary critic Edmund Gosse said that "at his best Pierre Loti was unquestionably the finest descriptive writer of the day. In the delicate exactitude with which he reproduced the impression given to his own alert nerves by unfamiliar forms colors sounds and perfumes he was without a rival. But he was not satisfied with this exterior charm; he desired to blend with it a moral sensibility of the extremest refinement at once sensual and ethereal." Artist André Hellé produced humorous illustrations for all the leading French periodicals during the first half of the 20th century. Though famed as a theater set designer he illustrated many books most of which as here were inspired by childhood. This endearing but fragile book has not surprisingly become quite rare in the marketplace and it is remarkably so in the original glassine. Henri Floury unknown

Envoi signé : « à mon ami Maurice de Lacoste Pierre Loti ». Montée en tête : 1 enveloppe à l'adresse de Maurice de Lacoste lieutenant de vaisseau à bord du Calédonien /Salins d'Hyères Var » Conservée dans l'exemplaire : 1 lettre autographe signée sur papier de deuil adressée au même avec env. conservée en date du 8 mars 1897 :. « Mon cher ami Je vous savais déjà sur le Bugeaud car j'étais allé il y a quelques jours à Rochefonts et moins oublieux que vous pensez j'avais de suite envoyé demander à la Préfecture si par hasard vous étiez là. Certainement vous recevrez Ramuntcho le livre. Quant à Ramuntcho le vrai c'est un joli et vigoureux bébé de bientôt deux ans qui parle le Basque et habite pour le moment St Jean-de-Luz. Je ne sais pas combien de temps je resterais à Hendaye ni ce que je ferai ensuite je suis sans projets comme sans courage. Je vous serre de tout coeur la main. P. Loti. Oui envoyez-moi cet intéressant opuscule quand vous y penserez ». Exemplaire de dédicataire idéal à son cadet de l'École Navale et ami Maurice de Lacoste. Il lui adresse à bord du navire Calédonien qui mouille au Salins d'Hyères cet exemplaire de son roman majeur du « cycle basque » entrepris par Loti après ses affectations sur la Bidassoa. Ramuntcho transpose dans un Pays basque encore perçu comme un « ailleurs » l'apprentissage d'un jeune joueur de pelote devenu contrebandier ses amours avec Gracieuse puis l'épreuve d'une séparation et le heurt avec un catholicisme de fer qui culmine dans le projet d'enlèvement manqué depuis le couvent. Publié d'abord en feuilleton dans La Revue de Paris 15 décembre 1896 - 15 février 1897 le texte paraît la même année chez Calmann-Lévy. À rebours du strict carnet de route Loti y privilégie la fiction « objective » et la scénographie des paysages intérieurs nourris des séjours d'Hendaye et de Saint-Jean-de-Luz qui fixent durablement l'imaginaire basque fin-de-siècle. La lettre jointe situe précisément l'auteur au moment de la mise en volume juste après la fin des feuilletons qui se terminent en février. Et confie à son destinataire un point essentiel où Loti précise la genèse fictive et « réelle » du héros entre le roman qui sort de presse et l'enfant basque auquel il emprunte le prénom : le propre fils de Pierre Loti. il faut rappeler que « Ramuntcho » n'est pas qu'un héros de fiction. Au Pays basque Loti entretient - en marge de sa vie officielle - une relation durable avec Juana Josefa Cruz Gainza dite Crucita. Pour s'en rapprocher il loue à Hendaye la maison Bachar-Etchea dite « la maison solitaire » que Crucita n'habite jamais car dès la conclusion de sa liaison et de son « contrat » avec Loti il l'emmène à Rochefort pour l'installer dans une maison des faubourgs de la ville. Elle lui donna quatre fils non reconnus tous nés au Pays Basque. Le premier Raymond né dans la nuit du 29 au 30 juin 1895 est couramment désigné comme « Ramuntcho » et a souvent été tenu pour l'inspiration directe du titre et du personnage du roman. Cette filiation parallèle longtemps tue est ici confirmée par un Loti confiant dans l'amitié et la confidence d'un secret à son ami Maurice de Lacoste. Natif de Metz en 1864 ce dernier entre à l'école navale en 1882 - quinze ans après Loti. Aspirant de 1ere classe en octobre 1885 il est tout d'abord affecté dans la division navale d'Extrême-Orient. C'est lors de ces premières traversées qu'il rencontre Pierre Loti qui navigue dans ces mers depuis la même année à bord du Mytho l'un des onze transports officiels des forces navales en Extrême-Orient. C'est sur ce navire durant un mois un mois de traversée que Loti a rédigé en partie le manuscrit de Pêcheur d'Islande.

Il sera affecté ensuite à la direction centrale de l'artillerie navale puis capitaine de frégate avant d'être affecté à l'état major en 1909.

1422<br /><br /><br /><b>"The most popular and finest of all Loti's writings"</b> Gosse:<b> an excellent example of the "edition de luxe" of the first edition limited to 235 copies in large octavo format this copy being #27.</b><br /><br /><b>With an unusual high quantity of different states of the plates and retaining its bright orange publisher's wrappers in fresh condition.</b><br /><br />A classic of French literature <i>Pêcheur d'Islande</i> narrates about the romantic but inevitably sad life of Breton fishermen who sail each summer season to the foggy ice-laden waters of Iceland. The French naval officer Pierre Loti 1850–1923 pays a personal tribute in this novel to the memory of his brother Gustave a marine surgeon who fell ill in Cochinchina and died at sea. To this prose Loti adapted some of the impressionist techniques of contemporary painters especially Monet combining them with elements of naturalism and exoticism.<br /><br />Loti wrote the novel from 1884 onwards in his estate of Rochefort continued in the Far East and completed in Rochefort in March 1886. It first appeared in La Nouvelle revue de Juliette Adam from 1 April to 1 June and then as a separate book in 1886. When published Pêcheur d'Islande was criticised by Maupassant but praised by Henry James Octave Mirbeau and the Breton poet Anatole Le Braz. Literary critic Edmund Gosse characterised it as "the most popular and finest of all Loti's writings" and Loti himself as "one of the most original and most perfect French writers of the second half of the 19th century". The novel met a significant success: a dozen of editions were published over the next several decades.<br /><br />This deluxe tirage de tête of only 235 copies was printed on hollande paper with fine illustrations usually in multiple states different in each copy; the other copies were printed on ordinary paper in 12mo format.<br />The present copy has the largest number of impressions we found at auctions in the last decades: most of the other copies list only two or three states of engravings whereas this one shows four states of the frontispiece and the illustrations in five to nine states.<br /><br /><u>Provenance</u><br />Waldfried armorial ex-libris bookplate on upper endpaper.<br /><br />Description<br />Large 8vo 23 x 16 cm.

1927006395Paris: Librairie Lemercier 1927. Limited Edition. First Edition thus. Three Quarter Morocco. Wooden boards. Fine. No. 54 of 255 copies in limitation on velin pur fil Lafuma. Beautiful 3/4 morocco binding with unusual wood or wood veneer boards and matching wood veneer endpapers.

The wrap cover serves as one of the three title pages. In its original title "Raharu" this is the novel that put Loti on the map in 1880 and it served as the inspiration for Leo Delibes' once popular opera "Lakmé" which premiered just three years later. Essentially Loti was the authorial counterpart to Gauguin in plunging whole into Tahitian society and his pen-name "Loti" followed from this novel. Without question one of Loti's greatest strengths as a writer was the color he brought to his descriptions and exotic subject matter and these pochoirs most definitely honor and capture that mastery. The bright plates and vignettes could be mistaken for actual painting and they are a feast to the eye. Apparently scarce with the only copy we could locate at the BNF -- no copies of this edition were found at all on OCLC or in commerce. Light rubbing of front joint. Librairie Lemercier unknown
