1918005718Paris: La Vie Parisienne 1918. First Edition . Illustrated Wraps. Very Good. 13.75" x 10.5. Chéri Hérouard Georges Léonnec Suzanne Meunier Carlegle others uncredited. . Paris: La Vie Parisienne 1918. Illustrations - ephemera from an unassembled issue of March 23 1918 of La Vie Parisienne from its Golden Age by some of the forty or fifty great illustration artists who gained famed in large part for their work in that famed Society magazine. 8 pages remaining here from a partly stapled but not fully assembled original copy of the issue; one seam is even unopened. The included art is by Chéri Hérouard Georges Léonnec Suzanne Meunier Carlegle and others uncredited. Text in French. Illustrated wraps in the very large folio size 13.75" x 10.5" 8 glossy pages here of an original 19. As remaining ephemera these pages are in Very Good condition and more than suitable for framing or other applications; a touch of crinkle some tiny seam chips and short closed edge cuts none of which show up well in the scans which see. The two-page spreads - of a folio size publication - are too large to be completely included on even a large-format scanner but you will get the idea. The conceits of Art Nouveau and Art Deco evolving one to the other at the time as those could be manifested through depiction of the wonders of French women may never have been more stunning than they were through the remarkable sensibilities of the coterie of artists who regularly contributed to La Vie Parisienne. These pages are from an unassembled original - and of course first and only edition - example of that unique publication. As such extraordinarily hard to replace whether in full issues or as surviving frame-able ephemera as here. l-eph2 <br/> <br/> La Vie Parisienne paperback

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. I believe the University of Phoenix and the TED Talks owe a royalty to the CLSC! NOTE: 2 of these have are unrepresented on OCLC and a population of only SIX of the other two - see notes on reverse. VERY SCARCE IN COMMERCE.<br /> <br /> Some light wear to spines and edges. Chautauqua Press unknown

Light general wear to the binding but everything sound and agreeable externally. A few spots of no consequence internally with the text generally clean and pleasing and the plates quite fresh. A pleasing copy.<br/> <br/> This is an influential work by the author DNB calls "the most distinguished and influential British gardener of the eighteenth century." A contemporary of Linnaeus and Sir Hans Sloane Philip Miller 1691-1771 was a gardener horticulturalist and Fellow of the Royal Society. Following the immense success of his "Gardeners Dictionary" in 1732 Miller released an abridged version three years later. The abridgment proved to be as popular as the original version. Swedish naturalist Pehr Kalm wrote in 1753 that "I have asked several of the greatest and best horticulturists both in England and America what author and what book they had found and believed to be the best in horticulture. . . . They have all answered with one mouth that Miller’s 'Gardener’s Dictionary' either in folio or the abstract in 8vo. i.e. the abridgment was the best of all and that when one has it no other book is afterwards required." Our sixth edition "enlarged" from the version discussed by Kalm was the final edition published during Miller’s lifetime.
