The pages are darkened with short tears and chips to the edges. A complete but fragile issue well worth restoring due to its rarity. <p>Biting political satire about the Stavisky Affair distributed by the left wing Association des Ecrivains et des Artistes Revolutionaires.<p>Founded in March 1932 the Association was a section of the International Union of Revolutionary Writers which the Comintern had founded a couple of years earlier. The AEAR was a French association founded by communist and communist sympathizing writers in opposition to war and fascism. Henri Cartier Bresson Luis Bunuel Max Ernst Andre Gide and Man Ray were for a time among the notable members of the association.<p>A 1934 financial scandal The Stavisky Affair was generated by the actions and dealings of the embezzler Alexandre Stavisky 1888-1934. Politicians and investors were swept up in Stavisky's schemes. He sold hundreds of millions of francs worth of false bonds on the city of Bayonne's municipal pawnshops. First charged with fraud in 1927 his trial was postponed over and over again as Stavinsky known as "Le Beau Sasha" was granted bail 19 times. In the interim one judge was found decapitated and the affair culminated with Stavisky's "suicide" though speculation persisted that the police killed him. As suggested by "Le Canard enchaine" if it was indeed suicide Stavisky must have had "a long arm". Right wing accusations that the police had killed Stavisky to protect influential people led to the resignation of French premier Camille Chautemps. His successor Daladier from the Radical-Socialist Party immediately fired the right-wing Paris Police prefect Jean Chiappe as well as the director of the Comedie Francaise. The new Interior minister Eugene Frot announced that demonstrators would be shot. The events led to an attempted right-wing putsch fomented by Action Francaise the Croix-de-Feu the Mouvement Franciste and a collection of anti-Semitic monarchist and fascist groups. The riots resulted in 14 deaths at the hands of the police. Daladier was himself forced to resign and his successor the conservative Gaston Doumergue formed a coalition cabinet. The affair inspired the 1937 Hollywood movie "Stolen Holiday" starring Claude Rains and the later 1974 Alain Resnais film "Stavisky" starring Jean-Paul Belmondo.<p>RARE.

Illustrated wraps folio 13.75" x 10.5" 19 pp. Very Good to about Near Fine; modest amount of cover fade some soil to covers see scans; contents virtually immaculate almost As New after all this time. Sharp. See scans. Exceptional condition for this thin-but-large fragile weekly. Glossy covers; first and last few internal pages are on newsprint else all glossy. Rather spectacular full-page color illustrations in every issue in fact by the coterie of guys who knew how to do what you see here. In the case of this issue Georges Leonnec René Vincent Vald'Es Valvérane & D'Espagnat Fabien Fabiano and Henri Guydo are credited with some other very credit-worthy art being uncredited. See scans. Cute humor from the same mood as mutoscope cards or perhaps a bit only a bit more refined. Gentle titillation. Even the occasional partial nudity is rather tasteful and soft though humorously flirtatious. All of the full page efforts 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 8/18/1917 issue of this memorable and long-lived French weekly offering of very soft very artful light erotica. The captioned illustrations by the eminent "dessins" luminaries named above and others in their clan are 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-LNG2 <br/> <br/> La Vie Parisienne paperback

The Abbé de Saint-Non Jean-Claude Richard 1727-1791 was a French connoisseur artist and patron. Between 1781 and 1786 he published a massive five-volume masterwork titled Voyage pittoresque ou Description des royaumes de Naples et de Sicile. It was one of the most lavishly illustrated productions of the 18th century capturing the height of the "Grand Tour" fascination with classical antiquity and the romantic landscapes of Southern Italy. Saint-Non collaborated with top-tier artists of the era most notably Hubert Robert Jean-Honoré Fragonard and Claude-Louis Châtelet to sketch the ruins vistas and daily life of Campania which were then meticulously engraved by master French printmakers.
