95553Paris Lucien Vogel 1914. . First edition. 4to. 6 original parts comprising January to June 1914 the second year of this periodical 61 hand-coloured lithograph plates en pochoir by Barbier and others later cream cloth lightly soiled.<br /> It may have been short-lived but the Gazette du Bon Ton was hugely influential reflecting all the latest developments in fashion and lifestyle at the beginning of the twentieth century at a time when styles changed dramatically in the space of a few years. The magazine was only available to subscribers at a price which equals $425 per year in today's money thereby creating a very exclusive image. Lucien Vogel the editor aimed to establish fashion as an art form and also to create 'good taste' for the Parisian elite. Publication was suspended in 1915 due to World War I and resumed in 1920 continuing through 1925. <br /><br />Contributing artists included all the greatest names of the day such as Dufy Bakst Barbier and Brunelleschi etc and these artists would depict the haute couture in a narrative and dramatic style using vivid colours and the pochoir technique on special handmade paper. Many of the designs were idealistic leisure scenes of the well-to-do illustrating the latest creations of Paris vintage fashion houses such as Worth Lanvin Doucet Poiret Callot Soeurs Paquin and Beers often without explanatory text. The literary content was also of the highest quality with essays by well known art historians playwrights and novelists of the day.<br /> Ray Art deco Book in France pp.29-30.

A Large Paper Copy. Cleveland Collections 557; Dunthorne 6; Sitwell "Great Flower Books" p. 67 69; Nissen BBI 18. ◆One plate with minor repair to fore-edge margin another with tiny rust hole not touching image half a dozen plates with insignificant smudges made during the printing process other trivial imperfections but A VERY FINE COPY clean fresh and wide-margined in a flawless binding.<br/> <br/> This is a major work of 18th century botany describing more than 2800 species of plants found in Italy's Piedmont region illustrating 237 previously unknown specimens and--crucially--classifying them all according to the new Linnean system becoming one of the first regional botanicals to use that taxonomy; as a bonus our copy comes in a particularly appropriate and charming binding with prominent botanical design elements. "Flora Pedemontana" was the chief work of Italian physician Carlo Allioni 1728-1804 professor of botany at the University of Turin and director of its natural history cabinet and botanical garden. The illustrations were drawn and engraved by the botanical garden's resident artist Francesco Peyroleri and his son Pietro. Our flora is also an important source of information on Alpine flowers. The modern binding is by an artisan who was proclaimed the "Grande Dame of French bookbinding" by the journal "Art & Métiers du Livre." Annie Boige trained at the Estienne School and at the Vésinet Applied Art Workshop before establishing her atelier in 1985. An art bookbinder she is noted for her monochrome color schemes and her use of beautiful leathers and vegetal materials a felicitous choice here. Michael Briolus unknown
