Première édition in-12, parue un an après l'édition originale chez le même éditeur. Alexandre Dumas aurait composé ces pseudo-Mémoires de Catherine-Charlotte de Gramont (1639-1678) en collaboration avec la comtesse Dash. Ces "Mémoires" sont en fait une biographie romancée de l’épouse de Louis Ier de Monaco. Catherine et son époux furent appelés à la cour de France. La princesse devint surintendante de la maison d'Henriette d'Angleterre, belle-sœur de Louis XIV. Sa grande beauté lui attira de nombreux courtisans. La cour la surnomma "le Torrent" et Mme de Sévigné la décrit comme "vorace de plaisirs". Elle mena une vie aventureuse, partagée entre les intrigues de la cour de Louis XIV avec lequel elle entretint une relation en 1665, son amour pour le duc de Lauzun et ses séjours à Monaco. Quelques petites épidermures. Bon exemplaire.
In-12, demi-chagrin rouge de l'époque, dos à 5 nerfs, titre doré (reliure signée Stroobants), 251, (1) p. d'achevé d'imprimer. Edition originale. Rangée par la critique de son temps au nombre des "romantiques féminins" aux côtés d'Anna de Noailles, Lucie Delarue-Mardrus, Marie Dauguet et Renée Vivien, Marie de Regnier composa, sous le pseudonyme de Gérard d'Houville, une oeuvre originale saluée par la critique de son temps. Romancière féconde, poétesse et critique littéraire, elle était la fille de José-Maria de Heredia, et l'épouse d'Henri de Régnier. Femme très libre et dégagée des conventions, elle eut Pierre Louys comme amant, qui entretint également des relations avec sa mère et ses deux soeurs. Il épousera d'ailleurs finalement la plus jeune des trois filles Hérédia et s'inspirera de ces relations pour son roman érotique 'Trois filles de leur mère'. Marie de Hérédia reçut, en 1918, le premier prix de l'Académie française pour l'ensemble de son oeuvre, devenant ainsi la première femme à obtenir cette récompense. Envoi autographe signé sous son pseudonyme de Gérard d'Houville à Monsieur et Madame Paul Deschanel, au lendemain de la démission de ce dernier de son poste de Président de la République et à la veille de son décès. On joint également une carte postale timbrée et datée du 9 juin 1943 de "Madame Henri Régnier" à Marc Chesneau (1899-1980) au sujet de la Société des Poètes et pour le remercier de ses vers. Mors légèrement frottés. Très bon exemplaire, bien relié par Stroobants.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Contemporary 1/3 leather bdg. made as original illustrated covers preserved inside. Foolscap 8vo. (18 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 221 p.; 291 p. Fourth Edition (both). Early editions of this bestseller novel(s) telling "the suffering of a woman who buried her forbidden love in her heart in a society where love is closed behind thick curtains, through the eyes of a woman", by Güzide Sabri (1886-1946). Güzide Sabri Aygün was a Turkish female writer known for her modern romances, which were published in multiple editions and several languages. She had two sisters, Fatma Aliye and Emine Semiye. She grew up in Çamlica neighborhood of Istanbul. In later years, she had to leave Istanbul and move to Anatolia with her family as her father was exiled, resulting from his opposition to the despotism of Ottoman Sultan Abdulhamid II (reigned 1876-1909). At a young age, she was married to Ahmet Sabri Aygün, the first notary of Beyoglu (Pera). She was educated at home by special tutors. She was interested in literature, inspired by her teacher Hodja Tahir Effendi, a dictionary writer. She started to write at a very young age. However, her teachers proposed she better deal with religious matters instead of poetry. Contrary to the pressures of her literature teacher, she wrote her first novel Münevver in her youth years in 1899. She wrote the novel in remembrance of her friend, who died from tuberculosis. It was serialized in the newspaper Hanimlara Mahsus ("For Ladies"), and won well recognition. In 1901, two years later, the novel was published as a book and was also translated into the Serbian language. Her husband felt discomfort by his wife's prominence. As her teachers' reaction was not enough, her husband also objected to her writing. However, her enthusiasm could not deter her from writing. It is understood that her husband tried to prevent her writing as he did not allow her to write already at the wedding. She was forced to continue writing at night or secretly. After a short time, her husband died. The unexpected death of her husband left deep traces in her. Güzide Sabri became a female writer, who remained lifelong unhappy having a sad life in literature history. During this time, the Servet-i Fünun ("Wealth of Knowledge") movement, formed by Recaizâde Mahmud Ekrem (1847-1914) and his students, left its mark on the literature. Güzide Sabri was one of the authors, who did not join the movement and remained on their own line. She is considered as one of the first female novelists among Turkish writers with widespread fame, even though she was not involved in the new literary movement. She published her works in the Servet-i Fünun and other journals of the "National Literature" without being a member of any literary community. Her novels, which were written in the early years of the Second Constitutional Era (1908-1918) and the Republican era (from 1922), and were subject of feeling, dream, blind love, and broken hearts, were very popular, and had multiple editions and were repeatedly filmed. Her second novel Ölmüs Bir Kadinin Evrak-i Metrûkesi ("Derelict Documents of a Dead For Woman") was a bestseller. It was first published in 1901, reprinted several times, and was filmed twice, in 1956 and then in 1969. The novel was translated into the Armenian language. She authored romance novels for simple readers. She is considered as the author writing the first examples of the so-called mass-market romance novels, and pioneer of the broken-hearts novels in her country. Her 1930-novel Hicran Gecesi ("Night of Sorrow") is about the forbidden love of a bad woman. This book takes the romance novel one step forward in a forbidden, impossible love story. Her novels, which take place in Istanbul, attracted the interest of readers outside of big cities like Istanbul and Izmir as well.

Petit in-8 (141 x 82 mm), plein veau moucheté de l'époque, dos à 5 nerfs orné de caissons fleuronnés et cloisonnés, pièce de titre de maroquin brun, roulette sur les coupes et coiffes, tranches mouchetées, (24), 281, (3) p. de catalogue éditeur. Nouvelle édition de ce roman qui se situe dans le courant de la littérature moraliste du Grand Siècle. L'auteure, Madame de Pringy, annonce dans sa préface un "roman de caractères" destiné à dépeindre "l'amour tel qu’il se pratique aujourd’hui (...) et rectifier s'il se peut la galanterie qui n'a presque plus d'autre nom que celui de la débauche". "Document d'une valeur sociologique indéniable, véritable contrepoids à l'oeuvre de Poullain de la Barre. Dans l'histoire des mentalités, le regard de Madame de Pringy, négligé par la critique littéraire, mérite d'être reconnu parce qu'il rétablit une vue plus équilibrée sur le bouillonnement social d'une fin de siècle" (Constant Venesoen, Classic Garnier, 2021). Jeanne-Michelle de Pringy née Hamonin de Maranville (1660-1709) composa une oeuvre destinée exclusivement à un public féminin. (Cf. 'Protestations et revendications féminines. Textes oubliés et inédits sur l'éducation féminine (XVIe-XVIIe siècles)', Classique Garnier, p. 254). Dos frotté, reliure présentant quelques traces de restauration éparses.
2 tomes reliés en un volume in-8, demi-veau blond orné d'un décor de compartiments garnis de 3 différentes résilles dorées, filets et palettes dorées, pièce de titre de veau bronze, tomaison dans un médaillon havane, (4), iv, 376 p. et (4), 392 p., 2 planches gravées en frontispice. Edition originale. T. 1 : Le frontispice représente le Dauphin et sa soeur se promenant devant le Château des Tuileries avec leurs gouvernantes, surveillés par deux gardes. T. 2 : Le frontispice représente une scène horrifique d'initiation maçonnique. L'auteur avait été avocat à Épinal puis s'installa à Paris durant la Révolution. Il devint secrétaire de la Commission pour l'examen et l'inventaire des papiers des Tuileries, puis commissaire de police jusqu'en 1801. D'importantes pages sont consacrées à Marie-Antoinette, au rôle politique des femmes et aux clubs de citoyennes sous la révolution, ainsi que sur la marche des femmes du 4 octobre 1789 sur Versailles, hostiles au mouvement. Dans le tome I, p. 196, on trouve des détails sur le rôle du père de Balzac à la veille du 10 août : "portant le sabre pour mettre à bas les têtes du roi et de la reine". L'auteur connaissait parfaitement les lieux et les intervenants, par ses fonctions comme directement à travers son frère aîné qui était commissaire du Comité de surveillance des Tuileries. Il livre une relation romancée qui reste d'une grand intérêt pour l'histoire de Paris. (Monglond, V, 992). Petit accroc à la coiffe supérieure. Bel exemplaire, très frais, bien relié à l'époque.

In-8, broché sous couture, (2), 12 p., (1) f. blanc. Edition mise au courant des nouvelles institutions issues de la Restauration. La société est placée sous le patronage de la duchesse d'Angoulême. La vignette de titre porte les emblèmes de la royauté. La Société de Charité Maternelle a été fondée par Anne-Françoise de Fougeret en 1788 sur le modèle de la Société philanthropique et Marie-Antoinette en devint la présidente. Les statuts furent déposés le 17 février 1789. La société connut un essor rapide et traversa les différents régimes. Institution fondée par des femmes pour les femmes, elle avait comme objectif de combattre l’effroyable mortalité qui frappait les enfants trouvés, en contribuant à faire diminuer l’abandon et en délivrant des secours aux mères pauvres pendant les couches et les deux premières années de vie du bébé. "La Société de Charité Maternelle a été établie par des femmes, parce que ce sont elles que la Providence a plus particulièrement appelées au secours de l’enfance et des mères indigentes, et que leur sensibilité doit leur faire plus facilement surmonter les dégoûts attachés aux détails de la misère" (p. 7-8).

Very Good Arabic Original pictorial wrappers. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In Arabic. 169, [1] p., many ills. First Beirut Edition and early edition in Arabic literature of this classic novel by Salih, who is one of Sudan's greatest authors of the twentieth century. The story is set in the fictional village of Wad Hamid, the same setting as Salih's famous Season of Migration to the North. It is a comic novella, centering on the unlikely nuptials of the town's eccentric Zein. Tall and odd-looking, with just two teeth in his mouth, Zein has made a reputation for himself as the man who falls in love over and over with girls who promptly marry other men, to the point where mothers seek him out in hopes that he will draw the eye of available suitors to their eligible daughters. "The Wedding of Zein" was made into a drama in Libya and won Kuwaiti filmmaker Khalid Siddiq an award at the Cannes Film Festival in the late 1970s. Some critics identify this novella may be considered part of the tradition of magical realism, although Salih considered it as a socialist realist one. Minor stains on cover and edges. Overall a good copy. Only two paper copies in OCLC in Library University of Amsterdam and Leiden University Library: 71470668. It's also the earliest edition in the OCLC.
Fine Turkish Original b/w photograph. 8,5x13,5 cm. Shows Yildiz Eruçman and twelve male parachutists and aviators, an aircraft wing with its shadow on the surface. Yildiz Kayalar Eruçman was the first Turkish female parachutist. She was born in Thessaloniki, Kingdom of Greece in 1919. Her family was of Turkish descent, and according to the Population exchange agreement between Turkey and Greece, her family moved to Turkey and settled in Izmir in 1924. In 1934, after the Surname Law, the family assumed the surname Kayalar. Eruçman is her surname by marriage. In 1935, after reading an article in a foreign periodical about female pilots, she applied to the training center of the Turkish Aeronautical Association in Ankara. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's adopted daughter and aviator Sabiha Gökçen personally concerned herself with Eruçman's training. Together with three other women in the training center, namely Edibe Subasi, Nezihe Viranyali, and Sahavet Karapas, she received her aviation certificate. On 4 October 1935, she parachuted from a Soviet-made aircraft of type Polikarpov R-5. She was the first-ever female skydiver in Turkey. In later years, she continued in the same association as a trainer. However, her profession was not officially acknowledged. So, her title was "minaret worker", which was considered one of the most dangerous occupations of that time. A fine and extremely rare image.

David Kesslers 2nd Avenue Theatre opened on September 14, 1911 and was the first of the Yiddish theatres to open along the Rialto. Many important Yiddish artists served their apprenticeship and gained experience in their art under the infuence of David Kessler; among these were Maurice Schwartz, Bertha Gerstein and Celia Adler. He also established standards for acting and taste for better plays among actors and public. Kesslers Theatre also screened movies and is listed in the 1914-1915 edition of American Motion Picture Directory. In 1924 an ailing Thomas Adler appeared in Gordins The Stranger. It was his final performance and two years later the theatre was used for his funeral service. An estimated crowd of between 150, 000 and 200, 000 packed the street to view the cortage as it made its way along the Lower East Side pausing briefly at each of the Yiddish theatres (cinematreasures-org 2015) .
