1917001174Paris: La Vie Parisienne 1917. First Edition . Illustrated Wraps. Very Good. 13.75" x 10.5. Vincent Rene; Leonnec Georges; Giris Cesar et al illustrators. Paris: La Vie Parisienne 1917. The Decembre 29 1917 Issue 55e annee No 52. Illustrations by Rene Vincent Cesar Giris Georges Leonnec et al. Text in French. Illustrated wraps folio 13.75" x 10.5" 19 pp. 1159 through 1177 for the 1917 year plus 1 unnumbered ad leaf and covers. Slender but at folio size a bit too large for full scans. Some cover soiling wrinkling wear and small scale chips; contents sharp bright Very Good overall. Glossy covers; first and last few internal pages are on newsprint else all glossy. Rather spectacular full-page color illustrations by Leonnec Giris Vincent et al front cover "Est-ce vous le grand enfant qui veut.une poupee pour son jour de l'an" which I believe means roughly "Are you the Big Baby who wants.a doll for your birthday" featuring a winter-clad but nonetheless fetching young lady pointing at us and Giris' "Petite Secousse au Vieux Marcheur" on the rear cover. Mild nudity sporadically in these issues but quite soft. All of the full page efforst 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 12/29/1917 issue of this memorable and long-lived French weekly offering of very soft very artful light erotica. The captioned illustrations by the eminent luminaries named above are what 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-lng1 <br/> <br/> La Vie Parisienne paperback

195811447Westerham Kent UK: Privately Printed Westerham Press 1958. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. 12mo 31pp. plus back matter. A fine copy in the publisher's thin grey wooden veneer boards with plain white spine. Spine gently and evenly faded but with the gilt still bright. Else very fresh and handsome. To paraphrase from Lane's Foreword the illustrations herein were created for various Penguin trade publications over the previous ten years. Since the thin mass-produced paper cannot give the full flavor of these wood engravings Lane decided to have this little volume made on thicker handmade paper Hosho-Shi from Berrick Brothers in London which does more justice to the engravings. With contributions from Reynolds Stone Cecil Keeling Derrick Harris Imre Reiner Roy Morgan George Buday David Gentleman and Diana Bloomfield. A lovely little book. Laid-in is a Christmas card from H. F. Paroissien who seems to have been a Director at Penguin at the time of publication. Privately Printed [Westerham Press] hardcover
