Volume relié en plein veau raciné d'époque, dos à cinq nerfs, caissons dorés aux petits fers, pièce de titre en maroquin bordeaux, lettres dorées. Toutes tranches rouges. Gardes en papier marbré. Ex-libris: André Gutzwiller. Plusieurs noms de propriétaires sont inscrits à la plume au début de l'ouvrage. Importante somme géographique provenant en particulier des fonds cartographiques de Louis-Charles Desnos (1725-1805) et qui s'articule en fait autour de trois séries de cartes: le "Tableau analytique de la France dans lequel on donne une connoissance générale et détaillée du Royaume, considéré sous ses différentes formes de Gouvernement tant civil, qu'ecclésiastique et Militaire", "Le Petit Neptune françois ou Carte des Côtes maritimes du Royaume" et "L'indicateur fidèle ou Guide du voyageur français qui enseigne toutes les Routes Royales et Particulières de la France". Les cartes sont le fait de plusieurs ingénieurs-cartographes, dont Giovanni Antonio Bartolomeo Rizzi Zannoni (1736-1814). Elles sont gravées en taille-douce et pour la plupart magnifiquement retouchées en couleur à la main. L'ouvrage compte au total 55 plans qui ne sont pas classés dans le même ordre qu'annoncé dans le sommaire. Il manque un plan par rapport à l'exemplaire conservé à la Biblithèque nationale. Les tranches et les coins sont émoussés, les plats sont griffés, la coiffe supérieure est fissurée; enfin les cartes portent de féquentes traces d'humidité, ainsi que des salissures occasionnelles, notamment sur les marges. Le papier est parfois légèrement jauni. Pour le reste, l'ouvrage est en bon état et présente une collection unique de cartes du royaume de France, de ses côtes, ainsi que des routes qui le traversent.

42554Paris : Desnos circa 1771. Thirty-two copperplate engraved maps each measuring 95 x 95 mm image and 115 x 115 mm sheet numbering in the upper right corner of each map; laid on linen overall measurements 470 x 940 mm; inscribed verso Presented by the Marquis St. Simon to A. Gordon with the initials M. G. another Gordon family member below and with another inscription crossed out; housed in a red morocco presentation case with gilt-tooled decoration and title ATLAS 125 x 125 mm lined with blue paper and silk. A rare configuration - possibly unique - of Desnos' Almanach géographique ou petit atlas élémentaire dissected and laid on linen in a fully contemporary presentation case. An inscription records that the cased atlas was presented - presumably to its second owner - by Claude Anne de Rouvroy Marquis de Saint-Simon-Montbléru 1743-1819 a highly significant figure in the American Revolutionary War. The Marquis de Saint-Simon sailed for the Caribbean in 1779 as a colonel in the Touraine regiment. In 1781 he arrived at Jamestown Virginia in command of 3500 French soldiers where he joined forces with a smaller American army under Lafayette. Between them Saint-Simon and Lafayette conducted the siege of Yorktown during which Saint-Simon's force succeeded in preventing Cornwallis and his troops from escaping northwards along the road to Williamsburg. Although he was badly wounded in the leg Saint-Simon refused to leave the lines until the British surrendered and insisted on mounting his horse in order to take part in the surrender ceremony. Saint-Simon was personally thanked by Washington for his contribution to the American cause in a letter written just before his return to the West Indies Library of Congress George Washington Papers Series 4 General Correspondence: George Washington to Saint-Simon October 24 1781. He was also made one of the original members of the Society of the Cincinnati the private patriotic organisation founded by Washington. In 2018 the American Revolution Institute of the Society of the Cincinnati in Washington D.C. announced its acquisition of a portrait of Saint-Simon painted between 1815 and 1818 by the Spanish artist Vicente Lopez. It is the only portrait in American institutional collections of this lesser-known yet important participant in the Revolutionary War. Louis-Charles Desnos was one of the most prolific and influential map and globemakers of his age at a time when Paris was the leading centre of map production in Europe. Desnos married the widow of Nicolas Hardy son of Jacques Hardy a globemaker active during the period 1738-1745. Desnos acquired Hardy's inventory and tools and expanded the company also acquiring the inventories of the Jaillot family and of Nicolas de Fer. Desnos would be appointed Royal Globemaker to King Christian VII of Denmark and continued publishing throughout the late eighteenth century. Desnos first published his miniature atlas in 1770; it would be reissued in two volumes later the same year and again in 1771 with the addition of plate numbers to the maps as in the present example. The maps are titled: Hemisphere Orientale; Hemisphere Occidentale; Europe; Asie; Afrique; Amerique Septentrionale; Amerique Meridionale; Royaume de France; La Suisse diviseÌe en ses xiii cantons et ses allies; L’Italie; DucheÌs de Savoye et Piemont; Le Royaume de Naple et de Sicile; Royaume de Sardaigne; Royaume de Corse; Espagne et Portugal; Royaume de Portugal; Les Isles Britanniques; Pays Bas septentrionaux; Pays Bas meridionaux; L’Empire d’Allemagne; Royaume de Boheme na. les 16 cercles portent le nom de leurs capitales; Royaume de Prusse; Le Royaume de Hongrie; Royaume de Pologne; Royaume de Danemarck; Suede et Norwege; Suede et Norwege septentrionales; Suede et Norwege meridionales; Russie d’Europe; Turquie d’Europe; Russie d’Asie partie occidentale; Russie d’Asie partie orientale. We can locate no other examples which have been laid on linen and specially housed in a morocco case. The present example originally owned by a significant figure in the Revolutionary War is possibly a uniquely prepared copy with a purpose-made sturdy leather case portable and eminently suited to being carried in the pocket of a military coat. hardcover

Numerous full-page artistic contributions by Hans Arp Constantin Brancusi Giorgio De Chirico Alberto Giacometti Juan Gris Henri Laurens Fernand Léger André Masson Joan Miró Pablo Picasso Joseph Sima etc. The journals pioneering and interdisciplinary approach established it as one of the most important publications of the century: a dissident voice against the doctrinaire surrealism of André Breton Documents was conceived as a war machine against received ideas in Batailles own words and gathered an eclectic array of contributorsacademics ex-Dadaist and Surrealist painters and poets philosophers. It remains renowned for its striking juxtapositions: Rather than assemble documents from separate fields rather than uphold the usual subordination of image to text the journal gives photography drawing and image the privilege of being the most primal substance or the most original trace of human expression Georges Sebbag. Ethnography Documents is remembered above all for Batailles radical ethnographic stance focused on the material and detached from aesthetic criteria and the usual fascination with exoticism. These groundbreaking views foreshadow the Collège de sociologie that Bataille would later found with Michel Leiris Roger Caillois and Jules Moncrot. They are also reflected in the journal through numerous photographs of masks stones and other non-Western artistic creations Siberian Chinese. set alongside modern artworks including drawings by Klee and paintings by Picasso. Bataille also collaborated with the notorious Hans Bellmer who would go on to illustrate the famous second edition of Histoire de lil to create a terrifying portrait of the Hindu goddess of destruction Kali. photography The journal places particular emphasis on photography. Among its most celebrated contributions are the close-up photographs of toes by Jacques-André Boiffard accompanying Batailles essay on the foot in issue no. 6: The point of this article lies in an insistence on directly and explicitly challenging what seduces without relying on poetic contrivances which ultimately amount to little more than diversion Bataille concludes. His fascination with the abnormal and the destructive is also evident in Boiffards fetishistic and sadomasochistic photograph of a woman wearing a Documents hardcover

Miro had long planned to illustrate a book by Desnos but the project was delayed by the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War and subsequently the Second World War in which Desnos was an active member of the French Resistance. He was arrested by the Gestapo in 1944 and sent to several concentration camps including Auschwitz and Buchenwald. Desnos survived the war only to die of typhoid a few weeks after the liberation of the camp where he was held. <br /><br />Nearly thirty years later Desnos' widow approached Miro with the idea of illustrating his works again. In the end they settled on Pénalités de l'enfer ou les nouvelles Hébrides The Penalties of Hell or The New Hebrides Desnos' first work in prose written in Morocco in 1922.<br /> Mourlot 959-90; Cramer 188.
