1903ST20279Paris: Librarie A. Roquette 1903. No. 92 OF 150 COPIES on Japon and another 10 copies on vellum paper. 251 x 160 mm. 9 7/8 x 6 1/4". 2 p.l. 67 1 pp. 2 leaves followed by additional suite of etchings. <br/> HANDSOME TAN CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT BY THE CLUB BINDERY stamp-signed and dated 1905 on front turn-in covers framed by gilt strapwork and multiple fillets raised bands spine compartments with similar gilt tooling gilt lettering densely gilt turn-ins marbled endpapers top edge gilt. In a modern slightly ill-fitting suede-lined gray linen clamshell box backed with blue morocco. Illustrated throughout with elegant borders and scenes surrounding the text colored with pochoir. With an additional suite of illustrations printed in black before letters. Front pastedown with morocco ex-libris of Robert Hoe and with bookplate of the Robin Collection. Spine uniformly a bit darkened text margins with a hint of browning because of paper quality but still a very pleasing copy with virtually no signs of use.<br/> <br/> Bound by one of America's greatest binderies and once owned by the renowned collector Robert Hoe this is a charming adaptation of a Medieval legend illustrated with delicate pochoir images by a popular French Art Nouveau artist. Originating in the 13th century the story here concerns a pious sacristan whose faith is tested when she falls in love with a young noble. The pages are adorned with attractive borders inspired by nature along with images from the story all colored in soft hues that evoke an angelic ethereal quality that fits perfectly with the themes of the legend. Our artist Henri Caruchet 1873-1943 was a sought-after illustrator in the bibliophilic world producing work for authors such as Octave Uzanne Theophile Gautier and Anatole France. The present work also contains a suite of uncolored illustrations printed before letters allowing the viewer to appreciate how much the pochoir coloring does to enliven Caruchet's designs. Our binding is a product of the esteemed Club Bindery founded by Grolier Club members and other wealthy collectors to provide close to home fine quality binding work rivalling what was available abroad. The workshop provided bindings that tended to be traditional in style--though frequently with elaborate decoration--and that lived up to its patrons' expectations in terms of excellence. The first members of the staff of the Club Bindery were the Englishmen R. W. Smith and Frank Mansell. They were subsequently joined by a number of French binders chief among them being Léon Maillard who had worked previously for Cuzin Gruel and Marius Michel. The Club Bindery was in operation until 1909 with Robert Hoe 1839-1911 being its most influential manager and client. Hoe was also the founding member and first president of the Grolier Club and according to Beverly Chew his library was "the finest America has ever contained." He acquired illuminated manuscripts early printing he owned a Gutenberg Bible on paper and one on vellum fine bindings French and English literature and Americana; when his library was sold in 1911-12 it fetched nearly $2 million a record that held until the Streeter sale more than 50 years later.

First edition in French of Polidori's Vampires. This work often mistakenly attributed to Charles Nodier author of the preliminary observations signed with his initials is by Cyprien Berard then director of the Theater de Vaudeville. He points out the popularity that the vampire had conquered at the end of the 18th century: "the frightening fable of the vampires could not fail to be consecrated among all the nations which received it in their belief. I have no doubt that the public grants like me another kind of rarer and more estimable merit to this novel.". France therefore lacked a literary production on vampires! Berard's work comes at the right time.It is by far the most interesting text that the first generation of French Romantics wrote."

188712384Paris: G. Charpentier 1887. 2 aquatints after drawing by A. Ferdinandus enraved by F. Massé. 369 pp. 11.5 x 8 cms. 12mo bound by Lucette Lévy in full brown morocco elaborately tooled in gilt on both sides and spine with a lattice pattern with in a border on each side and spine the cetnre of each lozenge with a gilt flower tool spine lettered in gilt doublures with a matrix of flower tools with in two gilt fillet borders watersilk free endpapers original wrappers bound in. With the original chemise. A very handsome book in excellent condition.In the 1920s many women were drawn to the medium of bookbinding perhaps influenced by the new modernist designs forged by Pierre Legrain. The women included the widows of bookbinders killed in the war and a hwole new enterprising generation of young women who were searching for a fashionable vocation in teh arts. As the Ecole Estienne was reserved ofr men may women enrolled at the city’s Ecole et Les Ateliers d’Art Decoratif which had been founded in 1894. It is very probable that Lucette Lévy was among them. Binding instruction was offered first by Mme Rene Sergent and later by Lapersonne Choffe and Genevieve de Leotard. On completion of the 4 year course graduates sought employment in the city’s main binding workshops or set out to establish themselves independently. <br>Although we cannot find any details about her apart from occasional bindings which have appeared in the rooms viz. Christie’s 2009 and a couple of bindings in booksellers’ catalogues Lucette Lévy was clearly extremely talented with great technical ability like Adler she inclined to familiarising herself with the text and illustrations in a book to create an accord with it in her binding. She was varied and adaptive in her styles and was inventive with fonts for lettering and ways of binding throughout the 1920s and 1930s. G. Charpentier unknown
