The Chinese-backed guerrillas called it the War of the Running Dogs - their contemptuous term for those in Malaya who remained loyal to the British. The British Government referred to this bloody and costly struggle as the 'Malayan Emergency'. Yet it was a war that lasted twelve years and cost thousands of lives. By the time it was over Malaya had obtained its independence - but on British not on Chinese or Communist terms. Here is the war as it was. Here are the planters and their wives on their remote rubber estates the policemen the generals and the soldiers the Malays Chinese and Indians of a polyglot country all fighting an astute ruthless and well organized enemy.

191357650Paris: S. n. 1913. Fine. S. n. Paris 1913 14 x 22.50 cm une feuille original print in color printed on laid paper signed upper right of the board. One of the first French fashion magazines published a few days before the famous Gazette fashionable and bringing together the greatest French artists of the Art Deco movement. The Journal ladies and modes is a trimensuelle illustrated French fashion magazine created in 1797. Its publication was stopped in 1839 before being taken in June 1912 under the leadership of Tommaso Antongini secretary friend and biographer of Gabriele 'Annunzio. It will disappear in August 1914 on the eve of the First World War. The review was drawn to 1279 copies making it for the time a relatively confidential publication. The 186 plates with great finesse are engraved on strong paper and colored stencil. They represent the majority of the time women but also men and children. The models are not unlike those of the Gazette fashionable whose publication will be launched a few months later those renowned couturiers but are the fruit of the imagination of the illustrators themselves. The stencils are mostly executed by George Barbier but other artists collaborating on the magazine: Léon Bakst B. Berty Bernard Boutet de Monvel Roger Broders Jan van Brock Umberto Brunelleschi H. Robert Dammy Etienne Drian Abel Faivre Marie-Madeleine Franc-Nohain Xavier Gosé Paul Iribe Kriegck Victor Lhuer Pierre Legrain Charles Martin Fernand Simeon Ismael Smith Armand Vallee and Gerda Wegener. Many of these illustrators will also be involved in The Gazette fashionable. Their work emblematic of the Art Deco movement emphasize the influence of Orientalism and costumes of the Ballets Russes while registering in the daily activities of affluent French of the time. From the preface of the first issue of 1912 Anatole France said: ""After seventy-five years he is reborn. He is reborn through the efforts of a few ingenious minds and artists. He is reborn for the curious if there is that do not simply modes newspaper fired several thousand and illustrated by photography. And if publishers make us very exactly in its format with its paper printing its processes of etching and coloring the old classic patterns of the past is that they intend to continue the pleasantly and become charming classic fashion of today and tomorrow.

192284836Paris: Lucien Vogel éditeur 1922. Fine. Lucien Vogel éditeur Paris 1922 19.50 x 24.50 cm une feuille Text on double page by Vaudreuil illustrated with four original color prints finely heightened with palladium printed on laid paper signatures of George Barbier on the plate. La Gazette du bon ton one of the most beautiful and influential fashion magazines of the 20th century celebrating the talent of French creators and artists at the height of the Art Deco movement. Famous fashion magazine founded in 1912 by Lucien Vogel La Gazette du bon ton was published until 1925 with an interruption during the War from 1915 to 1920 due to the mobilization of its editor-in-chief. It consists of 69 issues printed in only 2000 copies and is illustrated notably with 573 color plates and 148 sketches representing models by great couturiers. From their publication these luxurious publications ""were aimed at bibliophiles and worldly aesthetes"" Françoise Tétart-Vittu ""La Gazette du bon ton"" in Dictionnaire de la mode 2016. Printed on fine laid paper they use a typeface specially created for the magazine by Georges Peignot the Cochin character adopted in 1946 by Christian Dior. The prints are created using the metal stencil technique heightened in colors and some outlined in gold or palladium. The adventure begins in 1912 when Lucien Vogel a man of the world and fashion - he had already participated in the magazine Femina - decides to found with his wife Cosette de Brunhoff sister of Jean the father of Babar the Gazette du bon ton whose subtitle was then ""Art modes et frivolités"". Georges Charensol reports the words of the editor-in-chief: ""In 1910 he observes there existed no fashion journal that was truly artistic and representative of the spirit of its time. I therefore thought of creating a luxury magazine with truly modern artists . I was certain of success because for fashion no country can rival France."" ""Un grand éditeur d'art. Lucien Vogel"" in Les Nouvelles littéraires n°133 May 1925. The success of the magazine is immediate not only in France but also in the United States and South America. Originally Vogel thus brings together a group of seven artists: André-Édouard Marty and Pierre Brissaud followed by Georges Lepape and Dammicourt; and finally his friends from the École des beaux-arts who are George Barbier Bernard Boutet de Monvel or Charles Martin. Other talents quickly come to join the team: Guy Arnoux Léon Bakst Benito Boutet de Monvel Umberto Brunelleschi Chas Laborde Jean-Gabriel Domergue Raoul Dufy Édouard Halouze Alexandre Iacovleff Jean Émile Laboureur Charles Loupot Charles Martin Maggie Salcedo. These artists mostly unknown when Lucien Vogel calls upon them will subsequently become emblematic and sought-after artistic figures. These same illustrators create the drawings for the Gazette's advertisements. The plates highlight and sublimate the dresses of seven creators of the period: Lanvin Doeuillet Paquin Poiret Worth Vionnet and Doucet. The couturiers provide exclusive models for each issue. Nevertheless some of the illustrations feature no real model but only the illustrator's idea of contemporary fashion. La Gazette du bon ton is a decisive step in the history of fashion. Combining aesthetic demand and plastic unity it brings together for the first time the great talents of the world of arts letters and fashion and imposes through this alchemy a completely new image of woman slender independent and audacious also carried by the new generation of couturiers Coco Chanel Jean Patou Marcel Rochas. Taken over in 1920 by Condé Montrose Nast the Gazette du bon ton would largely inspire the new composition and aesthetic choices of the ""dying little journal"" that Nast had bought a few years earlier: Vogue magazine.
