1864bn1578L. Curmer, éditeur, 47, rue Richelieu, au premier Relié 1864 "Magnifique exemplaire de cette édition de bibliophiles, par laquelle se fit connaitre l'éditeur et l'imprimeur Léon Curmer (1801-1870). Cet ouvrage se distingue avant tout par la qualité extraordinaire des reproductions au vu des qualités techniques de l'époque, mais également par la précision et la justesse des commentaires et descriptions qui l'accompagnent. Les 2 premiers volumes comportent 401 chromolithographies en couleurs d'après des livres d'heures et des manuscrits, avec une attention particulière sur le rendu des miniatures, bordures et autres décorations. Le volume d'appendice aux évangiles contient la liste des souscripteurs dont le premier est Napoléon III en personne. Ce volume contient également les actions de grâces illustrés de 80 photographies originales d'après d'anciennes gravures sur cuivre ; ces illustrations en font un des premiers livres illustrés par photographie ; les notices, l'ornementation de l'appendice, la classification des diverses écoles de peinture des manuscrits. Pierre Larousse dira dans son dictionnaire : ""M. Curmer a entrepris la reproduction en couleur des anciens manuscrits. Il y a réussi au-delà de toute espérance. Il a fouillé et exploré toutes les bibliothèques du continent et de l'Angleterre, il n'existe pas un manuscrit capital qui ne soit pas représenté dans ses éditions des Evangiles des Dimanches. Ce dernier ouvrage surtout, par la haute importance des reproductions, leur variété, leur authenticité, restera comme l'un des plus beaux livres qu'on ait jamais tenté d'exécuter"". Larousse XIX°, tome 5, page 684. Les deux premiers volumes sont montés sur onglets. Les trois volumes sont reliés plein maroquin rouge du Levant. Notre exemplaire comporte la page de titre comportant la date de 1872 avec la mention : ""réimprimé par Bachelin-Deflorenne"", mais suivit par la page de titre portant la date de 1864. Comme il a été dit ailleurs on peut a juste titre penser que Curmer avait fait imprimer plus de 800 exemplaires. Nombre donné par la liste des souscripteurs. Bachelin aurait donc récupéré les exemplaires et les aurait vendus. Ceci est confirmé par le bon de commande de l'ouvrage qui se trouve dans notre exemplaire où Ségouin dit être actuellement propriétaire de l'ouvrage dans une ""quantité fort restreinte"". Il ajoute même que ""le livre ne sera pas réédité, les pierres étant depuis longtemps effacées"". Ségouin vent le livre 1000 francs en feuilles. Notre propriétaire a acheté cet exemplaire et une bible pour 1200 francs. 3 volumes in-4°, 28 x 20,5 cm, reliés plein maroquin rouge du levant : le volume I contient 3 feuillets montés sur onglet (comme tous les onglets des deux premiers volumes) comprenant le titre avec la date Curmer et le titre avec la date Ségouin, plus une autre chromo donnant les adresses de Ségouin et Bachelin Deflorenne, puis 38 planches numéroté de III à XLI, puis 170 (169 numérotées) planches, et pour finir IV planches pour la table. Le deuxième volume : 2 planches non numérotés, puis la numérotation reprend de 172 à 361 puis 4 planches non numérotées et enfin V planches pour les tables. Le troisième volume comprend : XXXII pages, 172 pages non paginées, puis 154 pages, 6 pages non paginées, puis 255 pages, puis 3 pages non paginées, une petite dizaine de feuillets comportent des rousseurs dans le troisième volume, très bel exemplaire de ce MAGNIFIQUE livre qui préfigure le travail que feront les éditeurs de Fac-Simile de la fin du XX° siècle comme Fac-Simile Verlag à Luzern. Un chef d'oeuvre de technique de l'impression ! Livraison a domicile (La Poste) ou en Mondial Relay sur simple demande."
1881CAT0180New York 1881. 4 pp single 9 ½ x 7 ½ inch leaf folded. Very Good. An important document from early in the career of Washington Gladden a key figure in the Social Gospel and Progressive movements. He writes the board of the State Street Congregational Church explaining the reasons for his resignation which include the spiritual bankruptcy of the congregation his poor health and the inability of the church to pay his salary. Of these subjects it’s the spiritual health of the congregation that seems to trouble him the most. He writes: “Spirituality is at a very low ebb… I would never be satisfied with laboring year after year in any church with no signs of success… it saddens me today that the tokens of good have been very few…. I had hoped and longed for spiritual prosperity among you.†An interesting document that sheds light on Gladden’s reasons for leaving his first position. The American National Biography states his reasons for leaving as a “mental breakdown†though this letter may suggest that he had thought out his decision to a greater degree. Partial tears at folds but still very good. unknown
