1978017126Paris France: No publisher 1978. Book. Near fine condition. Unbound. Signed by Authors. First Edition. Quarto 4to. A hand letterpress book with original text and a facsimile-style printing of the text of the 5th Sonnet of an early French edition of Petrarch. The third line of this sonnet reads "Le laurier digne." which has been printed to read "Le LAUrier digne. and has been combined in the same fashion with line 7 "Votre noble REgard." to offer an apparent omage to LAURE. Most pages of text face a color etchings by an artist identified as Signore Fiorini; there are a total of 12 etchings. Each sheet measures 11.5" x 15.5" 29cm x 39cm and is folded in half forming 4 pages. There are nine such sheets 36 pages enclosed in a decorated paper portfolio and protected in a linen-covered clamshell box with "L" printed on the spine. Each etching is protected by glassine. Hand-numbered 12 of 50 copies signed by Simone' Piccone and Fiorini. The colophon reads "Cette edition des vers de PETRARQUE dedies a Laure Bissiere est la seule connue a ce jour. Elle comprend 50 exemplaires imprimes sur Auvergne a la main de Richard de Bas par l'artiste lue-meme; soit un exemplaire numerote 1 a Laure quatre exemplaires numerotes HC II a HC V; quarante cinq exemplaires numerotes 6 a 50." The condition is excellent with a few sheets with tiny spots of foxing probably inherent in the manufacture by Richard de Bas. The title page contains the phrase "Sic Itur Ad Astra Hic Et Nunc Plus Ultra." Another sheet reads "Acheve d'imprimer a Paris le 15 Mai 1978." Very little about this unusual publication can be found by research except that Laure Bissiere may be also knows as Madame Laure Loutre Bissiere. The artwork of Roger Bissiere 1886-1964 and B. Louttre 1926-2012 sold at Post War and Contemporary Art auctions has been accompanied by a certificate from Madame Laure Loutre Bissiere. An interesting and beautifully made book.

2014180249London: Royal Academy of Arts 2014. Hardcover. VG/VG Very crisp and clean. Red boards with stamped lettering on front ocver white spine lettering; color illustrated dust jacket with white lettering; 142 pp; profuse color illustrations map and portraits. "Acclaimed by some as one of the best portraitists of all time Italian painter Giovan Battista Moroni 1522-1579 created penetrating images of the aristocracy of Bergamo in which the sitters often gaze at the spectator with an unflinching directness. Admired in Italy since the 16th century when Titian is said to have praised his portraits Moroni did not achieve an international reputation until the 19th century and remains relatively little known. This handsome catalog encompasses Moroni's entire career. It includes portraits of all formats and styles demonstrating not just Moroni's brilliance at capturing the elegance of his sitters and the fashions of the time but also his "realistic" representation of Bergamo's society which became a model for Caravaggio. The volume also includes Moroni's religious paintings which also incorporate highly accomplished likenesses of their patrons once again showing the striking psychological insight for which Moroni is acclaimed."--Publisher's description. Contents include: Giovanni Battista Moroni : history and critical fortune / Simone Facchinetti and Arturo Galansino -- Moroni's teacher : Moretto -- Early works -- Aristocratic portraits -- Portraits from nature -- Altarpieces -- Late portraits -- Catalogue entries.
