No. 18 OF 50 COPIES ON JAPON from a total edition of 100. 222 x 140 mm. 8 3/4 x 5 1/2". 58 2 pp. <br/> VERY PRETTY CRIMSON MOROCCO GILT BY CHARLES MEUNIER stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with border of gilt and decorative rules and frame of branches entwined with a leafy vine raised bands spine compartments with floral bouquet at center enclosed by leafy branches and dotted rules gilt lettering turn-ins with gilt floral roll marbled endpapers top edge gilt other edges untrimmed. Original pictorial wrappers bound in. Illustrated with aquarelles by Grivaz engraved by Arent on every page. This copy with AN ADDITIONAL SUITE ON JAPON printed in bistre. With an ALS from the author tipped in at front. For the artist see: Benezit VI p. 703. Spine a little darkened faint browning at edges of leaves as no doubt in all copies because of paper stock chosen but A FINE COPY--clean and fresh internally in a lustrous binding with few signs of wear.<br/> <br/> Beautifully bound and with delicate vignettes that mingle with the text this "histoirette bourgeoise" is the story of an adulterous love affair told in verse. When Denise's husband scorns his wife for another woman she follows suit and takes up a romance of her own. Told from the point of view of Denise's lover the poem relates how his initial feelings of admiration and desire turn into passion obsession and ultimately disappointment when Denise decides to return to her husband. Her final message to the narrator hints at the possibility of an "enfant de l'adultaire" saying that if she goes back to her spouse any child produced by their illicit union would at least have a proper place in a respected household. The etchings appearing here in two states are based on watercolors by Swiss artist Eugene Grivaz 1852-1915 whose light airy style adds a fine sense of romanticism to this work. Legendary among French binders of the late 19th and early 20th centuries for his energy and imagination Charles Meunier 1865-1940 was apprenticed to Gustave Bénard at the age of 11 worked for a time in the atelier of Marius Michel and then set up his own studio when he was 20. According to Duncan & De Bartha he drew "on both traditional and modern techniques and forms of decoration mixing classical punches . . . with newly fashionable incised and modelled leather panels." This eclectic approach did not lead to the kind of popularity enjoyed by some of our binder's most distinguished competitors and partly as a protest in recognition of this "Meunier declined to participate in the 1900 Exposition as he felt that the Grand Prix would automatically be awarded to Marius Michel which it was. He staged his own show at his studio on the Boulevard Malesherbes and received as much magazine coverage as the participants at the Exposition." Our author Aurelien Scholl 1833-1902 was a journalist and writer who never backed down from a duel. The New York Times called him "a typical French militant journalist. His love of dignity and scrupulosity regarding the most insignificant points of honor caused him to reach a point where he could wield the sword or pen with equal facility." Scholl was particularly well known for the combative articles he contributed to such papers as Le Figaro and L'Éclair but as a novelist poet and dramatist he preferred to focus on Parisian bourgeois life love and scandals. The present copy contains an undated ALS from Scholl to an unknown gentleman noting that copies of his "Denise" are completely sold out. Ed. Rouveyre et G. Bond unknown

Faint foxing to half title otherwise AN IMMACULATE COPY the binding gleaming and the text untouched.<br/> <br/> Handsomely printed and illustrated this libertine tale of seduction and deception in Louis XV's France was lavishly bound in the Rococo style by the master Flety describes as "the apostle of emblematic bookbinding." Legendary among French binders of the late 19th and early 20th centuries for his energy and imagination Charles Meunier 1865-1940 was apprenticed to Gustave Bénard at the age of 11 worked for a time in the atelier of Marius Michel and then set up his own studio when he was 20. According to Duncan & De Bartha he drew "on both traditional and modern techniques and forms of decoration mixing classical punches . . . with newly fashionable incised and modelled leather panels." He was especially adept at creating bindings that were not merely apt for the contents of the book but that embodied in their design the themes of the work. His Rococo pattern here is extravagant even for that over-the-top style the decoration as unrestrained as the amoral aristocrats whose exploits Denon exposes here. First printed anonymously in 1777 "No Tomorrow" is narrated by a callow youth who falls under the spell of Madame de T a brilliant manipulator who uses his infatuation with her to draw her husband's attention away from her long-term affair with a marquis. Her plan is so successful that she succeeds in enjoying a dalliance with our narrator convinces both her husband and her lover that she is faithful to them and keeps all three men on good terms with each other. At the end of his adventure our hero searches for a moral to the story but finds none. Like the anti-heroine of his work our author diplomat courtier and polymath Dominique Vivant Baron Denon 1747-1825 had the wit and the talent to thrive during a tumultuous period in France managing to stay in the good graces successively of Louis XV Louis XVI Robespierre and Napoleon. He had met the last of these rulers at the salon of future empress Josephine de Beauharnais and was invited by Napoleon to join the Egypt expeditionary force as an arts and culture observer. Earning the moniker "Napoleon's Eye" he made sketches of the remarkable monuments--sometimes while under enemy fire--as well as of the ports the cities the inhabitants and the art particularly ancient hieroglyphics. When the illustrated account of his journey was published Russell tells us that Denon became "the first to present to Europe a true and honest image of ancient Egypt" after being "the first European traveller to spend months exploring the desert and recording the monuments he found there." He was "the primary force behind revealing Egypt's civilisation to an astonished Europe." The graceful etchings in the present volume are by the celebrated illustrator Paul Avril 1849-1928 who studied art in various Paris salons including the École des Beaux Arts. According to Ray Avril "was a witty and ingenious artist" and a prolific one as well illustrating a number of bibliophile's editions as well as classics of erotica. His illustrations here bring to mind work of the Rococo artists Watteau Boucher and Fragonard. Our edition benefits from the addition of a second work containing notes on the life of the author by prominent man of letters Anatole France 1844-1924 who would win the 1921 Nobel Prize for literature "in recognition of his brilliant literary achievements characterized as they are by a nobility of style a profound human sympathy grace and a true Gallic temperament." The beauty of our item was clearly treasured and protected by previous owners as it is virtually unchanged from the day it left Meunier's workshop. P. Rouquette unknown

18838583New York: Chautauqua Press 1883. First Edition. Original wraps. Very Good. 3 1/4 X 5 Inches. "The most American thing in America." - President Theodore Roosevelt on Chautauquas<br /> <br /> Four early course offering and yearly updates from the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle of Chautauqua Lake New York. The original Chautauqua meetings were the brainchild of John Heyl Vincent a Methodist minister and Lewis Miller a businessman who imagined a place where women and men could come to exchange ideas and learn of cultural advancements around the world. Founded in 1878 these four early course offerings date from 1883 to 1889. The 1885 issue is accompanied by an original illustrated postcard from the organization. <br /> <br /> The Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle was an important step in the advancement of women in American society. Although only a baby step the courses offered and the idea behind the movement was in part to open up education to women especially rural women in America. With a correspondence learning platform Chautauqua's brought education into the home which we know is the domain of the woman.

18623449Fort Kearny Ne: October 28 1862. Very good plus. 4pp. on a single folded sheet of lined paper. Light wear and toning old folds. An interesting manuscript letter written by Dr. George Lorin Miller 1839-1920 a leading Nebraska pioneer and instrumental figure in establishing Fort Kearny. Miller also served as the fort's sutler during the Civil War and helped to recruit the First Nebraska Regiment. Miller was a physician politician editor and land owner who arrived in Omaha in 1854 the year the city was founded. Miller himself founded the Omaha Herald which later became the Omaha World-Herald and was. staunch Democrat who became adept at harnessing the power of the press.<br /> <br /> Here Miller writes to an unnamed general in Helena Arkansas who was most likely Samuel Ryan Curtis. Miller's letter is well-written providing insights into and details of the politics war news and other information of the period. He is friendly to his correspondent noting that the two men had been political opponents in the past but Miller states that he supported the candidacy of his correspondent as "Colonel of our Regiment because I believed you capable and patriotic." Miller praises him for being recognized by no less than the President for "gallant services authenticated as they were by the best officers of the service" and then bemoans the fact that the correspondent was denied an appointment by the Senate due to the "mendacious meanness" of a Nebraska politician named Samuel G. Daily who apparently worked against his confirmation. Then Miller notes that Daily had to answer for his denial of the correspondent's appointment on the recent campaign trail where Daily "had to meet your case in the canvass at every turn -- apologized lied and smoothed it over as he best could. Denying everything and admitting nothing saved him by about 100 votes." He continues to encourage his correspondent with supportive language and then closes with a short appraisal of their shared hometown in the Nebraska Territory: "Omaha is changing much but it will not outrun your recollection of it. When you return you will see as I see that it is a real home after all however changed its appearance. October 28 unknown
