1862006327Paris: A. LÃ©vy Fils 1862. Half Morocco. Very Good. Sand Maurice. All the plates are here rendered in three states -- full hand-colored black and white and sepia and white! 2 volumes 4to. 28 by 20 cm. viii 356 2 384 pp. 50 hand-colored plates and 100 additional in the two other formats featuring the stock characters of the improvisational Theatre Italienne such as Harlequino Arlechino Pulcinella Colombine Pagliaccio Pierrot Pantalon L'Apothicaire Le Notaire Scaramuccia Pasquariello etc. Nowadays these characters are most familiar to opera-goers thanks to the comical works of Donizetti Mascagni Busoni Mozart etc. Most of these characters grew out of the roaming theatrical troupes that originated in Italy of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The costume and basic personality of the character remained stable from one performance to the next but within those parameters the characters in a troupe usually following the broad contours of a story line would improvise bringing in buffonery perhaps relating to the events of the day the specific venue where they were appearing or whatever else might spring into their mind on the spur of the moment. In the eighteenth century the free form went into decline replaced by more scripted plays but its influence is very evident in the plays of Goldoni Moliere who worked well before the form vanished and besides the opera buffa early twentieth century Vaudeville ballet and more current comedy. Also the costume from the Theatre Italienne has never failed to excite enthusiasm and thus it is often celebrated in the decorative arts as perhaps most magnificently in porcelain beginning in the eighteenth century with Meissen Nymphenburg and many other makes. Today the style of Harlequin or Arlecchino continue to be emulated in clothes design with some regularity. This two volume celebration of the costume and characters of this theater was written by Maurice Sand who was the son of the novelist George Sand who wrote the preface. Maurice Sand 1823 -1889 was an accomplished illustrator and writer in his own right. Provenance: this copy comes from the heirs of John James Audobon. The initials "V.A." are stamped on both front boards; these initials probably refer to Victor Gifford Audubon Jr. 1847-1915 the artist's grandson. Condition: some minor scuffs and abrasions on the leather spine shelfwear on the edges. A few some light soil spots here and there but overall quite clean and bright. A. LÃ©vy Fils books

Each volume housed in a marbled board slipcase and the five volumes housed together in two quarter blue morocco clamshell cases. Le Piccinino is the tale of a bewitching Sicilian princess whose beauty inflames the desires of everyone she encounters whether artist noble commoner or bandit. "The Piccinino is a novel of fantasy" writes George Sand in her preamble "which has no claim to paint a precise historical epoch nor to accurately describe a country. It is a study of color dreamed rather than felt and where only a few features have been found just as by chance. The scene of this novel could be placed everywhere else under the sky of the south of Europe .". A story full of fascinating family secrets from one end to the other. Astonishingly only one the present copy in 1989 of this novel featuring "piracy banditry and disorder" has come to auction within the last fifty years. "Nothing could be more charming than her tales of mystery intrigue and adventure.Le Piccinino et al - these things have all the spontaneous inventiveness of the romances of Alexander Dumas his open-air quality his pleasure in a story for a story's sake." Henry James Literary Criticism: French Writers p. 730. On April 16 1847 Chopin wrote to his family: "her new romance entitled thus far Piccinino which means: little. The action takes place on Sicily. Many lovely things; I do not doubt that it will be more to Ludwika's liking than Sand's Lucretia which also aroused less enthusiasm among others here.A great deal of naturalness of poetry I remember what a pleasure it was to listen to her reading it" Fryderyk Chopinâ€”Calendary. George Sand pen name of Amandine Lucie Aurore Dupin Baronne Dudevant 1804-1876 "was as famous for her â€˜unfeminine' independence her habit of wearing men's clothes and her love affairs with such prominent artistic figures as Alfred de Musset and FrÃ©dÃ©ric Chopin as for her writings. In 1831 she left her husband Baron Dudevant. Her work is usually divided into three distinct periods the first of which intensely romantic corresponds to her affair with Musset. The novels of this period plead the right of free love for both men and women and include such works as Indiana 1832 LÃ©lia 1833 and Valentine 1832. During the next decade George Sand became interested in various humanitarian reform movements and published such works as Consuelo 1842 and Le Meunier d'Angibault 1845. Her last group of novels sentimental studies of nature and of rustic manners includes La Mare au diable 1846 Le Piccinino 1847 La Petite Fadette 1848 and FranÃ§ois le Champi 1850" BenÃ©t's Reader's Encyclopedia.
