It stands as an early literary expression of unanimism a theory of collective consciousness developed by Romains in the 1900s. As the New Oxford Companion to French Literature notes: "Before the war in 1914 Romains published. two novels Mort de quelqu'un 1911 and the farcical Les Copains influenced by Unanimist theories of social groups and collective psychology." This edition published nearly 40 years later by Le Rayon d'Or Gallimard's deluxe illustrated imprint pairs Romains's youthful anti-establishment text with twelve brilliant plates by Gus Bofa one of France's most original illustrators and caricaturists. Bofa celebrated for his sardonic wit and visual improvisation was a regular contributor to Le Rire and Crapouillot and illustrated classic texts by Swift Cervantes and La Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Renowned artist Gus Bofa b. Gustave Blanchot 1883-1968 was an illustrator for Rire and Sourire a costume and set designer a celebrated poster artist and illustrator for the literary journal Crapouillot. He soon became one of the most in demand illustrators of editions of Swift La Fontaine Cervantes etc. ultimately with one hundred and seventeen volumes to his credit. <br /> <br /> French novelist poet dramatist and essayist Jules Romains pseud. of Louis Farigoule 1885-1972 was "early in his career.associated with a short-lived artistic community the Groupe de 'Abbaye which published his poems La Vie unanime in 1908. These poems and much of his later verse and prose were influenced by Unanimist theories of social groups and collective psychology. Before the war in 1914 he published more collections of poetry a verse play.and two novels Mort de quelqu'un 1911 and the farcial Les Copains The Pals" New Oxford Companion to Literature in French p. 707.<br /> <br /> Georges Duhamel's 1884-1966 experience as a surgeon during World War I produced Vie des martyrs 1917 tr. The New Book of Martyrs 1918 and Civilisation 1918 tr. 1919. These collections of sketches are noted for their compassionate accounts of human suffering.

She was the daughter of Marie-Catherine and Pierre Vallat-la-Chappelle. In 1792 she married Jean-Baptiste Huzard who interestingly was not printer-publisher but a professor of veterinary studies and inspector general. They combined their talents to become one of the foremost publishers of works on veterinary medicine and agriculture. "Her choice to use both her husband's and her mother's name demonstrates how she drew on both sets of connections to build a strong business and hints at her long involvement in the trade from before her marriage" Scott Ellwood "One Dynasty Three Names" blog on the Grolier Club wordpress site 2019. Marie-Rosalie died in 1842 a wealthy woman well respected by her peers. <br /> <br /> North Grolier Club 597. Lugt Repertoire 11616. [Mme Huzard for] J.-S. Merlin unknown
