- Lucien Vogel éditeur, Paris 1921, 18x24cm, une feuille. - Original color print heightened with palladium, printed on vergé paper, signed in the plate. An original print used to illustrate the Gazette du bon ton, one of the most attractive and influential 20th century fashion magazines, featuring the talents of French artists and other contributors from the burgeoning Art Deco movement. A celebrated fashion magazine established in 1912 by Lucien Vogel, La Gazette du bon ton appeared until 1925, with a hiatus from 1915 to 1920 due to the war (the editor-in-chief having been called up for service). It consisted of 69 issues printed in only 2,000 copies each and notably illustrated with 573 color plates and 148 sketches of the models of the great designers. Right from the start, this sumptuous publication "was aimed at bibliophiles and fashionable society," (Françoise Tétart-Vittu, "La Gazette du bon ton", in Dictionnaire de la mode, 2016) and was printed on fine vergé paper using a type cut specially for the magazine by Georges Peignot, known as Cochin, later used (in 1946) by Christian Dior. The prints were made using stencils, heightened in colors, some highlighted in gold or palladium. The story began in 1912, when Lucien Vogel, a man of the world involved in fashion (he had already been part of the fashion magazine Femina) decided, with his wife Cosette de Brunhoff - the sister of Jean, creator of Babar - to set up the Gazette du bon ton, subtitled at the time: "Art, fashion, frivolities." Georges Charensol noted the reasoning of the editor-in-chief: "'In 1910,' he observed, 'there was no really artistic fashion magazine, nothing representative of the spirit of the time. My dream was therefore to make a luxury magazine with truly modern artists...I was assured of success, because when it comes to fashion, no country on earth can compete with France.'" ("Un grand éditeur d'art. Lucien Vogel" in Les Nouvelles littéraires, no. 133, May 1925). The magazine was immediately successful, not only in France but also in the United States and Latin America. At first, Vogel put together a team of seven artists: André-Édouard Marty and Pierre Brissaud, followed by Georges Lepape and Dammicourt, as well as eventually his friends from school and the School of Fine Arts, like George Barbier, Bernard Boutet de Monvel and Charles Martin. Other talented people soon came flocking 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, Chalres Martin, Maggie Salcedo. These artist, mostly unknown when Lucien Vogel sought them out, later became emblematic and sought-after artistic figures. It was also they who worked on the advertising drawings for the Gazette. The plates put the spotlight on, and celebrate, dresses by seven designers of the age: Lanvin, Doeuillet, Paquin, Poiret, Worth, Vionnet and Doucet. The designers provided exclusive models for each issue. Nonetheless, some of the illustrations are not based on real models, but simply on the illustrator's conception of the fashion of the day. The Gazette du bon ton was an important step in the history of fashion. Combining aesthetic demands with the physical whole, it brought together - for the first time - the great talents of the artistic, literary, and fashion worlds; and imposed, through this alchemy, a completely new image of women: slender, independent and daring, which was shared by the new generation of designers, including Coco Chanel, Jean Patou, Marcel Rochas, and so on...

- Lucien Vogel éditeur, Paris 1921, 18x24cm, une feuille. - Estampe originale en couleur finement rehaussée au palladium, tirée sur papier vergé, signée en bas à droite de la planche. Gravure originale réalisée pour l'illustration de La Gazette du bon ton, l'une des plus belles et des plus influentes revues de mode du XXème siècle, célébrant le talent des créateurs et des artistes français en plein essor de l'art déco. Célèbre revue de mode fondée en 1912 par Lucien Vogel, La Gazette du bon ton a paru jusqu'en 1925 avec une interruption durant la Guerre de 1915 à 1920, pour cause de mobilisation de son rédacteur en chef. Elle se constitue de 69 livraisons tirées à seulement 2000 exemplaires et est illustrée notamment de 573 planches en couleurs et de 148 croquis représentant des modèles de grands couturiers. Dès leur parution, ces luxueuses publications « s'adressent aux bibliophiles et aux mondains esthètes » (Françoise Tétart-Vittu « La Gazette du bon ton » in Dictionnaire de la mode, 2016). Imprimées sur beau papier vergé, elles utilisent une police typographique spécialement créée pour la revue par Georges Peignot, le caractère Cochin, repris en 1946 par Christian Dior. Les estampes sont réalisées grâce à la technique du pochoir métallique, rehaussées en couleurs et pour certaines soulignées à l'or ou au palladium. L'aventure commence en 1912 lorsque Lucien Vogel, homme du monde et de la mode - il a déjà participé à la revue Femina - décide de fonder avec sa femme Cosette de Brunhoff (sur de Jean, le père de Babar) la Gazette du bon ton dont le sous-titre est alors « Art, modes et frivolités ». Georges Charensol rapporte les propos du rédacteur en chef : « En 1910, observe-t-il, il n'existait aucun journal de mode véritablement artistique et représentatif de l'esprit de son époque. Je songeais donc à faire un magazine de luxe avec des artistes véritablement modernes [...] J'étais certain du succès car pour la mode aucun pays ne peut rivaliser avec la France. » (« Un grand éditeur d'art. Lucien Vogel » in Les Nouvelles littéraires, n°133, mai 1925). Le succès de la revue est immédiat, non seulement en France, mais aussi aux Etats-Unis et en Amérique du Sud. À l'origine, Vogel réunit donc un groupe de sept artistes : André-Édouard Marty et Pierre Brissaud, suivis de Georges Lepape et Dammicourt ; et enfin ses amis de l'École des beaux-arts que sont George Barbier, Bernard Boutet de Monvel, ou Charles Martin. D'autres talents viennent rapidement rejoindre l'équipée : 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. Ces artistes, inconnus pour la plupart lorsque Lucien Vogel fait appel à eux, deviendront par la suite des figures artistiques emblématiques et recherchées. Ce sont ces mêmes illustrateurs qui réalisent les dessins des publicités de la Gazette. Les planches mettent en lumière et subliment les robes de sept créateurs de l'époque : Lanvin, Doeuillet, Paquin, Poiret, Worth, Vionnet et Doucet. Les couturiers fournissent pour chaque numéro des modèles exclusifs. Néanmoins, certaines des illustrations ne figurent aucun modèle réel, mais seulement l'idée que l'illustrateur se fait de la mode du jour. La Gazette du bon ton est une étape décisive dans l'histoire de la mode. Alliant l'exigence esthétique et l'unité plastique, elle réunit pour la première fois les grands talents du monde des arts, des lettres et de la mode et impose, par cette alchimie, une toute nouvelle image de la femme, élancée, indépendante et audacieuse, également portée par la nouvelle génération de couturiers Coco Chanel, Jean Patou, Marcel Rochas... Reprise en 1920 par Condé Montrose Nast, la Gazette du bon ton inspirera largement la nouvelle composition et les choix esthétiques du « petit journal mourant » que Nast avait racheté quelques années auparavant : le magazin

Kl.-Folio (280:220 mm). Album mit zus. 32 Zeichnungen auf 27 Bll. Die Zeichnungen im Postkartenformat (90:120 mm) teilweise in Blei aquarelliert und teilweise mit Tusche laviert, mit Motiven meist aus den Niederlanden, Flandern und Frankreich, zumeist monogr. "ES", jeweils flächig montiert und mit Goldlinien gerahmt. Lederband der Zeit mit goldgepr. Deckeltitel "Reise Erinnerungen 1887", gepr. Rücken und dreiseitigem Goldschnitt; Vorsatzpapiere aus goldbedrucktem Karton mit feinem ornamentalen Muster. 1 Messingschließe. Die Zeichnungen, ausgeführt von einem geübten Zeichner und jeweils beschriftet und datiert, dokumentieren die Stationen einer Reise: Nijmegen, Kampen, Enkhuizen, Ursem bei Alkmaar, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Antwerpen, Brügge, Brüssel, Mecheln, Tournai, Laon, Soissons, Paris, Rouen, Versailles, Chinon, Fontainebleau, Sully sur Loire und Moulins. - Der Künstler mit dem verschlungenen, wohl als "ES" zu lesenden Monogramm konnte nicht ermittelt werden; vermutlich trug er den Nachnamen Schmidt: Darauf deuten drei beiliegende Photokopien, die wohl die Rückseiten von drei der Zeichnungen zeigen, die als Postkarten an einen Carl Schmidt in Berlin versandt wurden. - Bis auf eine Bleistiftzeichnung mit Allgäuer Gebirgslandschaft, bezeichnet und datiert "Mädelegabel, 15. 8. [18]86", entstanden alle Zeichnungen auf der Reise durch die Niederlande, durch Flandern und Fankreich. Der Spruch "Wie hat das Gott so schön erdacht, dass er den Wanderburschen schafft" unter der Zeichnung von Kampen zu Beginn der Reise deutet darauf hin, dass die Reise zu Fuß angetreten wurde. - Der Zeichner versteht sich meisterhaft auf die minutiöse Wiedergabe von Stadtansichten und historischen Gebäuden; oft beleben treffend skizzierte Staffagefiguren den Vordergrund, oder die Landschaft ist in zarten Aquarellfarben angedeutet. Ein Selbstportrait zeigt den Künstler auf einem kleinen Schemel hockend, mit Zylinder auf dem Kopf, in der Pariser Avenue de Montaigne; ein anderes Selbstportrait, durch einen Spiegel in der Decke gesehen, entstand im Schloss von Fontainebleau. - Einband etwas berieben. Einige Zeichnungen mit Poststempel oder Abklatschspuren eines Poststempels. Innengelenke gebrochen, gering fleckig, Trägerkartons leicht gebräunt.
Blue-grisaille watercolour and opaque white on paper (ca. 269 x 170 to 400 x 210 mm). Mounted on backing cardboard with tissue guards. Thirteen charming panoramic views showing the Tyrolean Alps and their environs: Ammergau, Tux, Stubai, Ötztal, Zillertal, and Lechtal Alps, Karwendel, Verwall and Wetterstein Mountains. Executed by the well-known publishers Eugen Felle and Ott & Ruep in Isny/Allgäu; probably the work of the painter Josef Ruep (1886-1940), since one panorama bears his signature "Rp." - Tissue guards mostly wrinkled and with tears; drawings perfectly preserved.
Gestochene Kupferplatte (98:150 mm). Wohl Teil einer Stichserie zum "Stabat Mater", hier zu einer Zeile aus der fünften Strophe ("Eja Mater, fons amoris, me sentire vim doloris fac ut tecum lugeam" - "Gib, o Mutter, Born der Liebe, dass ich mich mit dir betrübe, dass ich fühl die Schmerzen dein"). Die dazugehörige Darstellung zeigt eine Madonna mit Schwert in der Brust. - Mit Druckvermerk "In Roma al Gesu N. 80".

Similarly masterful is the treatment of the interiors and views of the principal buildings of chrches of Paris. The lithographs are by Benard and Frey after Jean Baptiste Arnout (1788-1865). "Arnout is best known as a dexterous and prolific lithographer. He was one of the men who founded that art in France and published several series of views of Paris (1820, 1837, 1844)" (cf. Thieme/B.). - Binding shows slight traces of handling; corners somewhat bumped. Occasional foxing. Remains of two bookplates on inside of front cover. Thieme/Becker II, 146. Nagler I, 167.

190 x 125 mm. Stahlstich von Georges François Louis Jaquemot. Brustbild nach links. - Gebräunt.
Folio (320 x 250 mm). 150 leaves with 140 drawings. Various media: felt-tip marker, India ink, pen, graphite, coloured pencil, gouache, etc. Contemporary leatherette album, upper cover giltstamped "Livre d'Or", covers reinforced with metal applications. Marbled endpapers. All edges gilt. A splendid album of original artwork by some of the foremost artists of the Franco-Belgian comics scene active during the early 1990s. The contributions, some of which are located and dated, would seem to have been collected at various comics fairs or events. Virtually all are inscribed to "Jean-Michel", also variously spelt "Yann Mikael" or similarly, suggesting - as do the frequent maritime subjects - that the collector hailed from Brittany, probably from Saint-Malo, where numerous entries were acquired. - Among the still-active luminaries of the medium's Golden Age are Morris (with a portrait of Lucky Luke) and Tabary (who draws Calife Haroun el Poussah, known in English as Haroun El Plassid). Jidéhem draws Gaston (on which strip he long collaborated with Franquin), and Albert Weinberg draws his character Dan Cooper. Marcel Uderzo, Albert's younger brother and sometime collaborator on the original Asterix albums, draws his own character Mathias. Others have taken over the torch from famous predecessors: Al Coutelis draws a spoof of Tanguy and Laverdure, a famous strip he inherited from Albert Uderzo; Jean-Claude Fournier draws Spirou, which character Franquin handed over to him as early as 1970. A portrait in fineliner and broad felt-tip is contributed by André Juillard, who would later take over Edgar P. Jacobs's Blake and Mortimer - a series in which Didier Convard, seen in another entry, would also have a hand, in collaboration with Juillard. Jacobs himself is obliquely present in the portrait of his villain Olrik, drawn by an unidentified contributor, while Jean-Charles Kraehn represents Saint-Malo's very own "bande dessinée" scene. - A few double-page spreads (21, 114). Occasional light offsetting to opposite page or bleeding to next, especially from felt-tip drawings, but on the whole perfectly preserved. A few blank pages serve as protective tissue guards. A complete list of contributors, all but a dozen identified, is available upon request.
Woodcut on paper. An evocative court scene in an ornamental woodcut border, title and impressum in Bengali within a cartouche situated at bottom centre. The only known copy of a Battala woodcut showing a lively scene at the court of an Indian Raja, with the Raja and eminent courtiers, European colonial officers, musicians, dancers, and even dogs present. This is a very rare example of a Battala woodcut print, which were produced in the early to mid 19th century in the Battala neighbourhood of Calcutta (Kolkota). These prints showed often somewhat crude but evocative religious or secular illustrations, produced for people of the lower economic classes who could not afford the watercolours that inspired these woodcuts. An estimated number of only 100 to 200 prints of these Battala woodcuts have survived, as they were printed on cheap, thin, low quality paper stock. - During the early 19th century, there existed in Kolkata a substantial industry of woodcut printing. The artists, publishers and printers were active in the Battala neighbourhood, in the northern part of the city, after which the surviving woodcut prints are named. Large, single-leaf woodcuts - like the present example - were produced as cheaper versions of the already inexpensive watercolours called patas, which were in turn inspired by illustrated Mughal manuscripts. The patas were sold from stalls in the southern part of Kolkata, near the Kalighat Kali Temple, a renowned Hindu temple that is also regarded as one of the 51 Shakti Peethas of India. It was then, and still remains, an important pilgrimage destination; the patas, and later also the woodcut prints, were sold to the pilgrims as souvenirs. As the Battala woodcuts were inspired by and based on these patas, it is little surprise that one of the most famous Battala woodcuts is that of the Hindu goddess Kali, of ultimate power, time, destruction and change. While most Battala prints feature religious illustrations, other specimens show past and contemporary celebrities, mansions of the rich, fairs and festivals, and other secular themes, including the Raja's court, as in the present example. - The existence of the Battala prints, alongside the pata watercolours, was short-lived: they emerged and became popular in the early 19th century and by the end of the century had almost completely disappeared due to the arrival of lithography, a simpler, less labour-intensive process that was capable of producing cheaper prints, even in colour. - Condition: paper somewhat worn, mainly along the lower margin, slightly affecting the border and lower right corner of the illustration. The top and lower margins have been slightly reinforced on the reverse. Overall in good condition. One of a very small number of surviving Battala woodcuts, the only known example to show the Raja's court. F.

Zeichentusche auf Papier (Blattmaß 485:295 mm). Unter Passepartout (615:430 mm). Die schöne Dedikationszeichnung zeigt Apoll, auf eine geborstene Schrifttafel weisend. Auf derselben findet sich ein 21zeiliges kalligraphiertes Festgedicht: "Apollo spielt, die Gegend hört | Den Wunderklang der reinen Leyer; | Mir ist kein gleiches Glück beschert, | Ich lodre nicht in gleichem Feuer, | Nur Ehrfurcht ist's und wahre Treue | Die ich der Grosen Fürstin weyhe | [...]". Der Steinblock, auf dem Apolls Leier ruht, trägt außerdem eine 15zlg. Widmung "Der Durchlauchtigsten Fürstin und Frau, Frau Charlotten Amalien, Herzogin zu Sachsen, Jülich, Cleve und Berg auch Engern und Westphalen, Landgräfin zu Thüringen, Marggräfin zu Meissen, gefürsteten Gräfin zu Henneberg, Gräfin zu der Marck und Ravensberg, Frau zu Ravenstein, gebornen Landgräfin zu Hessen, Fürstin zu Hersfeld, Gräfin zu Katzenelnbogen, Diez, Ziegenhain, Nidda, Schaumburg und Hanau, auch Sayn und Witgenstein [...]"; am Schluß der Widmung vom Gratulanten Heinrich David Trinks in millimeterhoher Schrift signiert. Das Motiv von etwas Pflanzenstaffage eingerahmt; im Hintergrund ein Monopteros. Außerhalb des Rahmens vom sonst nicht nachgewiesenen Zeichner signiert: "Calamo delin." (nicht im AKL). - Charlotte Amalie (1730-1801) war die Tochter des Landgrafen Karl I. von Hessen-Philippsthal und seiner Gemahlin Christine von Sachsen-Eisenach. 1750 heiratete sie 20jährig den 43 Jahre älteren Herzog Anton Ulrich von Sachsen-Meiningen, dem sie in der verbleibenden Zeitspanne seines Lebens noch acht Kinder schenkte. 1763 übernahm sie als Vormund ihrer Söhne die Regentschaft im Herzogtum, das finanziell und wirtschaftlich völlig ruiniert war. Aufgrund ihrer straffen Reformen und Sparmaßnahmen, ihres wirtschaftlichen Wiederaufbaus und ihrer Förderung des geistigen Lebens gilt sie als "Retterin des Herzogtums". Die beliebte und volksverbundene Herzogin wurde nicht in der Fürstengruft, sondern gemäß ihrem Wunsch auf dem städtischen Friedhof begraben. - Hübsche Zeichnung als Jubiläumsgabe, womöglich auch Vorzeichnung für einen Kupferstich.
Large 4to (180 x 255 mm). 26 watercolours on 25 ff. With several additional pencil sketches. Original black half leather with green cloth covers and pen holder. Impressive album of vibrant watercolours documenting an extensive journey from Shanghai to Sri Lanka via Hong Kong made by a female British artist, Frances de la Poer. The volume opens with a full-page depiction of a traditional Chinese lotus shoe captioned "The Brides shoe Shanghai Nov 30th 95", decorated with a sketch of two women in festive dress beneath a tree. The artist apparently had attended a wedding in Shanghai, as she also portrayed "The brides sisters" on the verso of the same leaf underneath a panorama of the Yangtze river crowded with junks. This latter watercolour is stated to have been drawn on deck of the Canadian ocean liner "RMS Empress of Japan", bound for Hong Kong. On 3 December, Frances de la Poer captured in an atmospheric watercolour the Lei Yue Mun channel ("Lymoon pass") that separates Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, followed by another river scene showing clothes drying on the shore of the Pearl River. The album continues with a portrait of two Chinese men in traditional attire and two more landscapes of the Pearl River (here captioned "Canton River") and its mountainous surroundings. On 13 December the artist had already reached Malaysia, as evidenced by an unfinished watercolour depicting a group of people with cattle. The journey continued on the German "Reichspostdampfer Preussen", documented in the caption of a stunning landscape of the Sumatran coastline from 16 December. - After a longer interruption, the Ceylonese section of the album starts with an impressive depiction of a lake near Bandarawela, dated 26 Jan. 1896. The artist explored the south of the island, painting a landscape in Badulla, a "lace seller" in Colombo, a river scene near a British fort, a young boy, a Buddhist stupa, acrobats in Yatawatta, huts in a village and a woman in Kandy province, a Tamil coolie working with tea and other labourers, but also a scorpion and, in pencil, a spider and lizards. Several drawings are also annotated in Sinhalese. A series of larger pencil drawings is followed by two final watercolours: a beautiful depiction of Galle Lighthouse, the oldest lighthouse on the island, and a charming scene on deck of the British ocean liner "RMS Ormuz", dated 22 February. - Frances de la Poer (ca. 1850-1925) was the youngest daughter of the Irish nobleman John William de la Poer (1816-51). In 1881 she married Thomas William Gaston Monsell, 2nd Baron Emly, son of the liberal politician William Monsell. - Spine professionally restored. Two leaves apparently excised, but generally well preserved.
Overall size 232 x 182 mm. Watercolour and gouache on rice-paper. Framed and glazed. The drawings by an unidentified Chinese artist depict four variously seated female musicians playing the long lute (san-hsein), dulcimer (yang ch'in), transverse flute (ti-tzi) and, apparently, a form of straight trumpet. - Light discolouration to paper; a few small marks; very slight damp-staining to lower margin and tiny tear to leading edge of one drawing. An attractive set.
