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

A very good or better set in a handsome signed binding by Riviere and Son.<br /> <br /> First edition later issue of this imitation of Pierce Egan's Life in London 1821. While sometimes attributed to Egan the work was possibly written by John Badcock. "Out of the sixty-five imitations of it which Egan stated that he had reckoned the most important was Real Life in London. which was published in sixpenny numbers in 1821 with excellent illustrations by Heath Alken Dighton Rowlandson and others. Real Life in London is a pleasanter book than its prototype. Some have held that Egan wrote it; but the author had a purer style a cleaner mind and a wider knowledge of London than Egan" The Cambridge History of English and American Literature. "From a bibliographical point of view one of the most complicated and bewildering books ever published rivaling Pickwick in the tangle of variant states that exist both in text and plates. The work had a tremendous success probably out-rivaling in popularity its prototype. A difficult feature of the book is that two printers. printed copies textually the same page by page with only minor variations in the settings and this coupled with the fact that during the eight or nine years it was being reprinted makes the whole vast output all 'first editions' but with innumerable states and variants that continually overlap one with the other" Abbey. "Originally published in 56 parts on completion the work was issued in boards. Later copies were bound in publisher's cloth. A book full of contrarities and difficulties for the bibliographer there being innumerable variations of the plates. The difficulties are further increased by many copies in modern bindings having been completed or made up of different issues giving combinations that are not true variations" Tooley. <br /> <br /> Printers: R.

In 1876 another edition in large quarto with etchings transferred to stone and printed as lithographs was published by William Tegg. In this notable volume Millais is represented by Summer Indolence a most graceful study of a girl lying on her back in a meadow with a small child who is wearing a daisy chain seated at her side. Mr. J. McNeill Whistler contributes two delightful landscapes The Angle and A River Scene. "Summer Indolence" by famed Pre-Raphaelite artist John Everett Millais derives from a figure in Millais's painting "Spring Apple Blossoms." The Etching Revival and Pre-Raphaelite Movement shared many comonalities as new artistic forms in the Victorian Era. These groups held artists in common as well as close ties with literature especially poetry. Communing the poetry of authors Lord Byron Wordsworth Tennyson etc with new expressive etchings Passages from Modern English Poets encompasses a whimsical artistic and literary facet of the Victorian Era.<br/> <br/> Gleeson White English illustration 'The Sixties': 1855-70; "A Selection of Etchings by the Etching Club" The Met.
