A wonderful copy of this lovely book with exquisite plates after Grandville. <br/><br/>"The compositions of this ‘last fairy-tale' brilliantly engraved on steel by Charles Geoffroy and delicately colored form a fitting memorial to Grandville. They show that his powers remained unimpaired to the end of his short career. Grandville told his wife on the day he began these designs: ‘for too long I have kept my eyes lowered to the earth; now I want to lift them to the heavens' p. ix. The pattern which he follows is similar to that of Les fleurs animées. Nearly every plate has its beautiful lady clad in white and adorned with stars looming in the sky with varied scenes of earthly life below her. These designs Grandville's tranquil refuge from the turmoil that beset his mind are as charming as they are mysterious. Also included in the volume are an unsigned essay which remains the most considerable source of biographical information about Grandville and a fine portrait of him by Geoffroy I xvi with a border of his creations animals paying him tribute as well as his flower- and star-ladies" Ray. <br/><br/>This posthumously published work Grandville died on March 17 1847 was originally issued in fifty parts the first part appearing in September 1849. <br/><br/>Charles Meunier 1865-1940 began his apprenticeship as a bookbinder at age eleven. Five years later at age sixteen he joined master binder Marius-Michel's workshop. He soon grew weary of producing traditional bindings and established his own bindery in 1885 at the tender age of twenty years old. CM was thought to be innovative and instinctive with great reserves of energy and undeniable artistic talent. Drawing on traditional and modern techniques and forms of decoration Meuniere mixed classical punches. with newly fashionable incised and modeled leather panels. His output was prodigious; by 1897 he had produced roughly six hundred bindings" Art Nouveau and Art Deco Bookbinding p. 194.<br/><br/>Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book 200.

To research and photograph the practically invisible requires a unique technology and a curious intellect.

In 1979 he and George Miller published an interim edition which illustrated over 700 examples together with some thumbnail histories of the paper mills that produced them.<BR><br /> Using all the original 1979 watermarks now in the Special Collection Department of the University of Delaware Library this edition adds more than 300 new watermarks found by Mr. Gravell during the past twenty years. In all 1057 watermarks have now been computer enhanced and triple-indexed for better identification. Meanwhile Elizabeth Walsh of the Folger Library edited a great deal of new information from leading scholars and enthusiasts. This new corpus of research corrected and updated the numerous mill histories indexes glossary and bibliography.<BR><br /> This expanded and revised edition of American Watermarks brings to the paper and autograph scholar the latest information available on early American watermarks in a clear concise work that should become a basic reference in its field.

021962Philadelphia Ndca.1930: J.B. Lippincott. Limited Edition. Thick Quarto. Limited to 650 copies for England and 350 copies for United States. The present copy is #3 of 350 copies of the American issue 136pp. text and illustrated with 48 illustrations in color and 357 in half-tone. The most important study of Russian theatre in the early revolutionary years. As Fulop-Mueller notes: The revolutionizing of the theatre soon became one of the most important parts of Soviet propaganda yet it was this that led to Stanislavsky's influence on Vakhtangov who transformed a handful of inexperience actors into a corps of brilliant character actors. This led to the establishment of the Habima in Palestine in the decades before the establishing of Israel. They toured Europe America and Palestine in 1926 and hence this beautiful book has rare photgraphic images of that era many of which are found nowhere else. They also include those of Leon Bakst Stravinsky Larionov Anna Pavlova Karsavina and other important actors artists and players including marionettes. . Covers also little theatre art theatre and the development of the architectural styles ballet opera and various other costumes art for scenery in black and white and several in rich color. Much of the remarkable developments in American theatre in the post World War II era can be traced to these major influences.
