Front pastedown with armorial bookplate of German bibliophile and music publisher Ludwig Strecker. The Artist and the Book 174. ◆A SPLENDID COPY clean and bright in a luxurious unworn binding.<br/> <br/> This version of Longus' charming Greek pastoral novel of awakening love long retained its popularity and was published frequently often with illustrations. And perhaps the chief virtue of the present edition is the unaffected sometimes mischievous woodcuts of nymphs and lovers by the French-Catalan artist Aristide Maillol 1861-1944 best known for his sculpture. His engravings here have the same classical lines that typify his three-dimensional works. According to "The Artist and the Book" the work is "perhaps the most harmonious of Maillol's illustrated books." The very attractive and intelligent binding is by Mainz master bookbinder Irmgard Haccius 1916-2003 whose work here is entirely in keeping with the illustrator's graceful simplicity. Haccius studied at the art academies in Munich and Berlin in addition to completing advanced training in book binding at the Academy of Fine Arts at Castle Giebenstein Hall. She was one of the first faculty members at the State University Institute for Art and Handicraft in Mainz before joining Johannes Gutenberg University in 1973 as a professor in the Department of Visual Arts.

One of 250 numbered copies.Francis Bouvet The Complete Graphic Work no. 75; Luc Monod Manuel. no. 7262; François Chapon Le Peintre et le livre pp. 67-68 -- The Artist & the Book 28 -- Rauch 22; OCLC Number / Unique Identifier:54167315.One of the most famous modern illustrated books – copy on hollande paper. Seduced by his first collaboration with Pierre Bonnard on Parallel by Verlaine 1900 Ambroise Vollard commissioned a second one from him these Pastorales. Where Parallel with its daring layout and the choice of printing the lithographs in pink had been disconcerting the layout of this second book is more classical the illustration being clearly separated from the text. However at the time of its publication it remained "shunned by bibliophiles who for a long time refused to see it as an appropriate illustration technique for luxury books because it was considered too commercial even vulgar" Limited edition. Vollard Petiet et l'estampe de maîtres pp. 44-45. .This judgment has largely been revised by their successors and the work is today considered one of the greatest successes of the illustrated book. Carteret Illustrés IV p. 242: a beautiful work highly sought after and highly rated. One of the greatest stars of modern books. ; « Like Bonnard’s earlier lithographs for Parallèlement and Manet’s for Le Corbeau these subtle plates had little appeal in 1902 for a public that preferred the sharply defined realism of the professional engraver.The book is today considered one of the finest of its periodâ€. The Artist and the Book n°28 ; Mahé II col. 695 ; Mornand Vingt-deux artistes du livre pp. 45-46 “Daphnis et Chloé fut pour Bonnard l’occasion de montrer toute la souplesse de son talent non seulement par la pureté du style bien antique des personnages mais par le caractère des paysages essentiellement grecsâ€.
