189874615Paris: Imprimerie Champenoispour CH. MassonH. Piazza 1898. Fine. Imprimerie Champenois pour CH. Masson H. Piazza Paris Décembre 1898 23 x 35 cm une feuille Rare original lithograph executed by Paul-César Helleu for L'Estampe Moderne series number 20 published in December 1898. One of 50 deluxe proofs printed on China paper with wide margins artist's signature in the plate publisher's dry stamp depicting a child's profile in the lower margin mounted on a sheet of laid paper with the numbered stamp of the deluxe printing on the reverse some foxing. Lithograph inspired by an extract from Polichinelle by Charles Nodier. Magnificent French monthly publication edited between May 1897 and April 1899 L'Estampe moderne consists of original chromolithographs which unlike other magazines such as Les Maîtres de l'Affiche and as stipulated on the tissue guards were created specifically by each artist for the magazine. Thus 100 prints appeared in total covering the major artistic movements of the late 19th century: Symbolism Art Nouveau Pre-Raphaelites Orientalists and Belle Epoque. Each issue of four prints was printed in 2000 copies sold for 3.50F and 100 on Japan paper offered at 10F. Henri Piazza also planned a confidential printing of very grand luxury: 50 copies on Japan paper with wide margins and 50 in black on China paper at the considerable price of 30F. This print of beautiful format is superbly printed on one of the most prestigious papers: China paper. ""Despite all its qualities China paper too inconsistent owes its reputation not to its own beauty but to its particular affinities with printing ink. Its texture smooth and soft together is more apt than any other to receive a beautiful printing. This property makes China paper sought after for printing engravings."" Anatole France. French collectors' interest in artistic posters intensified at the beginning of the 1890s. Octave Uzanne to describe this fever invented the term ""affichomanie."" The poster originally popular and posted in the streets of the capital then became an art object and its ephemeral medium became precious and devoted to preservation. Piazza decided to remove the poster from its advertising vocation and elevate it to the rank of a complete work of art in the same way as the illustrated luxury book. He thus composed a prestigious collection of entirely original works by the most prominent European artists of the moment: Georges de Feure Eugène Grasset Henri Detouche Emile Berchmans Louis Rhead Gaston de Latenay Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer Gustave-Max Stevens Charles Doudelet Hans Christiansen Henri Fantin-Latour Steinlen Ibels Engels Willette Henri Meunier Evenepoël Bellery-Desfontaines Charles Léandre etc. Handsome copy.

Laskine: triple gilt fillet around sides enclosing a blue morocco inlaid frame turn-ins similarly gilt and inlaid silk moire pastedowns and endpapers the verso and the recto opposite of comb-marbled paper original hand-colored wrappers bound in top edges gilt others untrimmed. Text and wrappers inexplicably foxed throughout see images and priced accordingly; apart from extremely minor abrasions at head and tail the binding is superb state. PRINTED FOR THE ARTIST HIMSELF Maurice Leloir as stated in letterpress on the verso of the half-title on Japon paper with an extra suite of all the illustrations hors-texte bound in. <br/><br/>Charles Nodier 1783-1844 author insatiable book collector and long-serving librarian of the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal was the progenitor of the kind of bibliophily practiced in France to the present day. He was also an unrivalled seller of books by auction. In 1838 he declared that God had made him rich enough five times to buy books and five times so poor that he had to sell them again. He sold his books for the first time in 1802 at the age of nineteen and sold reconstituted collections or parts of them at auction in 1809 1813 1817 1827 and 1829. In advance of forthcoming sales Nodier aroused a great deal of excitement by publishing his own literary and bibliographical investigations into the books to be offered in the form of "Mélanges" and "Nouveau Mélanges." It is a remarkable fact that Nodier wrote nearly all the descriptions that appeared in the posthumous sale catalogue of his library Techener 1844.<br/><br/>Nodier was in the forefront of those French collectors who had simple contemporary bindings on old books ripped off and replaced by modern more elaborate bindings; among his favored butchers were Koehler and Thouvenin. <br/><br/>Our copy does not contain any statement of limitation which was bound in ordinary copies; instead on the verso of the half-title the name of the special recipient is printed: "Exemplaire tire pour Monsieur Maurice Leloir." We have seen mention that the edition was limited to 150 numbered copies on Japon from a total edition of 500. The number of "named" hors-serie copies has not be determined but it must have been extremely small.<br/><br/>The binder H.E. Laskine clearly possessed a high degree of artistry and technical abilities; and yet very few bindings by him/her have been located: only three examples are listed in RBH's Rare Book Transactions database which currently holds more than 10 million records sic. Laskine remained unknown to Flety. [Imprimerie Generale Lahure for]: Librairie de L. Conquet unknown books
