1917001174Paris: La Vie Parisienne 1917. First Edition . Illustrated Wraps. Very Good. 13.75" x 10.5. Vincent Rene; Leonnec Georges; Giris Cesar et al illustrators. Paris: La Vie Parisienne 1917. The Decembre 29 1917 Issue 55e annee No 52. Illustrations by Rene Vincent Cesar Giris Georges Leonnec et al. Text in French. Illustrated wraps folio 13.75" x 10.5" 19 pp. 1159 through 1177 for the 1917 year plus 1 unnumbered ad leaf and covers. Slender but at folio size a bit too large for full scans. Some cover soiling wrinkling wear and small scale chips; contents sharp bright Very Good overall. Glossy covers; first and last few internal pages are on newsprint else all glossy. Rather spectacular full-page color illustrations by Leonnec Giris Vincent et al front cover "Est-ce vous le grand enfant qui veut.une poupee pour son jour de l'an" which I believe means roughly "Are you the Big Baby who wants.a doll for your birthday" featuring a winter-clad but nonetheless fetching young lady pointing at us and Giris' "Petite Secousse au Vieux Marcheur" on the rear cover. Mild nudity sporadically in these issues but quite soft. All of the full page efforst are eminently frame-able and at this time of a sensibility midway-evolved between nouveau and deco as is much of the uncredited b&w illustration. An original - and of course first and only edition - of the 12/29/1917 issue of this memorable and long-lived French weekly offering of very soft very artful light erotica. The captioned illustrations by the eminent luminaries named above are what what really "make" this issue as was generally the case through the era but cartoons serial fiction and around-town pieces nicely compliment those. Gorgeous oversized large color illustrations are what you collect these for. l-lng1 <br/> <br/> La Vie Parisienne paperback
