A Large Paper Copy. Cohen-de Ricci 652-53; Ray 2A. Four small very faint water spots to boards one plate somewhat foxed in all other ways A GORGEOUS COPY clean and fresh internally with immense margins and in an unworn binding.<br/> <br/> This exceptionally desirable copy of Longus' unique combination of decadence and sweet innocence is printed on quarto-sized paper enhanced with engravings from some of the greatest Rococo illustrators and offered in an exquisite binding by a modern Parisian master. The charming pastoral novel appears here in the popular translation of Jacques Amyot 1513-93 first printed in 1559 and always recognized for its graceful style. The illustrations were created in 1714 by Philippe duc d'Orléans and Regent of France 1674-1723 engraved by Benoît Audran and published for the first time in 1718. Although Ray indicates that Philippe's work is clearly an amateur's he says that the plates "do tell the story in their halting way and the background landscapes in some of the larger plates have a naïve appeal." The plates were re-engraved for our 1745 printing and the always elegantly graceful tailpiece vignettes by Charles-Nicholas Cochin were created for this edition. Cochin 1715-90 is generally considered on a par with the three Rococo masters Gravelot Eisen and Moreau. Ray notes that works from his early career like the engravings here "are marked not only by the mastery of outline and firmness of composition which never deserted him but also by acute observation and unpretentious humor." Our volume also contains an extra plate by the Comte de Caylus omitted from some copies for its suggestive nature as it shows the feet of the entwined lovers Mon Dieu! protruding from the privacy of a grotto. Additionally a previous owner added four engravings created for the 1754 Longus by the great Charles Eisen 1720-78 Louis XV's Court painter and drawing master to Madame de Pompadour. Ray describes him as "the master of the small design" with "a marvelous talent for pleasing." The beauty of this copy was further--and gloriously--enhanced ca. 1910 when binder René Kieffer created the striking binding with its bouquets of fantastical flowers in a riot of colors and gold. Kieffer 1875-1963 was in the first class of students to graduate from the École Étienne where he concentrated on becoming a doreur learning to tool gold designs in the well-established style. After leaving school he worked for Chambolle-Duru until 1898 at which time he established his own studio. According to Duncan & De Bartha he "became a disciple of Marius Michel moving gradually away from his traditional training towards a more emblematic and modern style." He would become one of the most innovative and progressive binders in Paris in the 20th century earning a well-deserved reputation for producing widely variable bindings that defied typification. s.n. 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
