"Longos in lateinischer Form: Longus war ein griechischer Schriftsteller der Antike. Er ist der Autor des berühmten Hirten- und Liebesromans 'Daphnis und Chloe' und der Zweiten Sophistik zuzuordnen. . Longos vermischt in seinem Roman Elemente des antiken Liebes- und Abenteuerromans mit Motiven der Bukolik und entwickelt dabei eine eigene Art der Poesie in Prosa. Dabei legt der Autor seinem Erzähler einen Stil in den Mund der in seiner Schlichtheit den Protagonisten den einfachen Hirten entspricht. Diesen verfeinert er aber durch virtuose Rhythmisierung und zahlreiche Endreime. Daphnis und Chloe werden als Säuglinge von ihren reichen Eltern ausgesetzt und von Hirten aufgefunden. Zu Beginn der Handlung ist er 15 Jahre alt sie 13. Beide wachsen gemeinsam in gegenseitiger und unverdächtiger Zuneigung auf. Die Entwicklung dieser Zuneigung zur Liebe ist das Hauptthema des Romans. Der Liebesgott Eros fungiert bei Longos zugleich als Antriebsquelle der Dichtung und darum ist der Roman auch ihm geweiht." Wikipedia. "Paul Leroy eigentlich Paul Alexandre Alfred Leroy geboren 27. Dezember 1860 in Paris; gestorben 1942 ebenda war ein französischer Maler. . Von seinen Studienreisen nach und durch Ägypten Tunesien Persien Algerien und auch dem osmanischen Reich brachte Leroy eine Vielzahl von Eindrücken und Skizzen mit welche dann auch zur Basis seiner vielgelobten Ölbilder wurden. Mit diesen Werken wurde er schon bald zu einem wichtigen Vertreter des Orientalismus." Wikipedia. - Weitere Bilder auf Anfrage oder auf unserer Homepage.

With 12 full-page etchings and 29 in-text illustrations by Champollion after the designs of Raphaël Collin. Ray "French" p. 377. Spine just faintly sunned though difficult to see with all its gilt occasional very minor foxing otherwise a fine copy clean and fresh internally with vast margins in a well-preserved binding bright with gilt.<br/> <br/> A unique combination of decadence and sweet innocence Longus' charming pastoral novel appears here with a series of engravings that were considered to be some of the most attractive of the period and in an impressive binding that emphasizes its pastoral setting and that has an origin clouded with mystery. Ray says that in a survey conducted in 1895 our "Daphnis et Chloé" with the Collin engravings came in fourth in a poll to determine the 10 most successful modern French illustrated books. Our edition uses the popular translation of Jacques Amyot 1513-93 first printed in 1559 and always recognized for its graceful style. Naval Commander Charles Elsden Gladstone 1855-1919 or "Captain Gladstone" as he is commonly called was an English bookbinder of great technical skill working in the late 19th Century but no one seems to know how or by whom he was trained. We know he had many hobbies including microscopy and optical magic lanterns per family accounts suggesting a curious mind and attention to detail both useful in bookbinding. Although testimony from the period indicates that Gladstone personally bound his books there are no known contemporaneous i.e. 1880-1910 exhibitions or auction records of the sale of any of his bindings and no information exists about his being an apprentice. Since the degree of complexity and beauty of his bindings--clearly in evidence here--is extraordinary one wonders if he did in fact personally bind the books. Yes he could have been a self-taught genius binding for his own pleasure but it is not inconceivable that he commissioned someone like Alfred de Sauty as finisher requiring that his own initials always be placed on the dentelles. Regardless of their origin Captain Gladstone bindings are exquisitely crafted filled with lovely all-over gilt-tooled work and characterized by innovative design features. Whoever produced them they are among the best to be found in England around the turn of the century. H. Launette et Cie unknown
18931276951893. LAWRENCE T.E. LONGUS. Daphnis and Chloe: A Most Sweet and Pleasant Pastoral Romance for Young Ladies. London: Vale Press 1893. Quarto contemporary full black crushed morocco elaborately gilt-decorated spine and covers raised bands top edge gilt uncut. $15000.An exceptional association copy: the finely printed and beautifully illustrated Vale Press Daphnis and Chloeone of only 210 copies 200 of which were for sale with 36 charming woodcuts in the Italian style by Charles Ricketts and Charles Shannon with ""T.E.L.""likely in T.E. Lawrence's handfaintly penciled in the upper right corner of the front free endpaper and a note from recipient Charles Francis Bell describing the circumstances in which Lawrence presented this copy to him. Beautifully bound in full morocco-gilt by C. & C. McLeish.""There are works which will never cease to be reprinted and which artists will ever love to illustrate according to their own individual fancies"" Jules Claretie Preface. This classical Greek work whose author Longus has not been fully identified has been dated to the 2nd or early 3rd century CE. Described by one scholar as ""an unknown best seller"" Giles Barber Daphnis and Chloe is considered ""the original or earliest survivor"" of the idyllic/pastoral romance Hardin Love in a Green Shade 1. This large-format illustrated edition is one of the Vale Press' most impressive books. It uses the quaint 17th-century translation of Thornley designed to convert the lascivious tale into reading matter for young ladies. One homosexual passage is left in the original Greek. In the Art Nouveau style the illustrations by Ricketts and Shannon effectively capture Longus' combination of decadence and sweet innocence.Born in 1859 binder Charles McLeish was apprenticed to Andrew Grieve in Edinburgh then came to London in 1890 to work for Riviere. When Cobden-Sanderson founded the Doves Bindery in 1893 he hired McLeish as the firm's finisher. McLeish held that estimable position until 1909 when he left to go into partnership with his son Charles who had apprenticed under Roger de Coverly. Although the senior McLeish was no longer in the employ of Cobden-Sanderson all of the bindings that were signed ""Doves Bindery"" between 1909 and 1921 were actually done in the McLeish workshop. The work produced by the McLeishes was beautifully designed and impeccably executed as evidenced in the present volume. With publisher's scarce four-page prospectus bound in at rear. Bookplate of recipient art historian Charles Francis Bell with his handwritten note regarding the circumstances of Lawrence presenting this copy to him tipped to the front free endpaper: ""This book was bound by McLeish for Colonel T.E. Lawrence whose initials in pencil in his own writing are in the top corner of the opposite endpaper. It was given by him to me at All Souls College Oxford on November 16 1920. C.F. Bell."" Bell 1871-1966 was curator of the Department of Fine Art in the Ashmolean Museum Oxford where he met Lawrence when the latter had brought fragments of pottery into the Ashmolean for identification. The two became friends and frequently discussed their shared enthusiasm for Medieval art and architecture. Although the brevity and faintness of the initials on the front free endpaper make it difficult to verify it as being in Lawrence's hand it is consistent with Lawrence's known practice of initialing his own books.Mild offsetting from woodcuts; offsetting from morocco turn-ins partially obscuring penciled initials in upper corner of front free endpaper binding beautiful and fine. An excellent association copy with distinguished provenance. hardcover
