191945420Tours: Maison Alfred Mame Et Fils. Very Good. 1919. First Edition. Hardcover. Contents clean and complete secure in original binding of red cloth spine and boards with colour illustrations to front board and monochrome illustration on rear board; light blue endpapers; some minor edgewear and rubbing at extremities; mild toning to page edges. A fabulous abecedary with Lemaitre's amusing prose enhanced by the fantastic illustrations of JOB. A very nice example of this beautiful illustrated book. OCLC 21469822 AUTHOR: François Élie Jules Lemaître 1853 1914 was a French critic and dramatist. He became a professor at the University of Grenoble in 1883 but was already well known for his literary criticism and in 1884 he resigned his position to devote his time to literature. Lemaître's sketches of modern authors show great insight and unexpected judgment as well as gaiety and originality of expression. He was admitted to the French Academy on 16 January 1896. In his later years Lemaitre worked on this abecedary -- a collection of stories illustrating the letters of the alphabet. Some of the stories were original; others were adapted from tales by Anderson Perrault and others. Unfortunately World War I intervened and the book was not published until 1919 after Lemaitre's death. ILLUSTRATOR: Jacques Marie Gaston Onfroy de Bréville known by the pen name JOB after his initials 1858 1931 was a French artist and illustrator. After military service he joined the École des beaux-arts and exhibited at the 1886 'Salon des Artistes Français' receiving a mixed reception. His successful career was as an illustrator contributing caricatures to La Caricature and to La Lune and is best known for his illustrations for children's books such as this. He was a Sociétaire of the 'humoristes' and exhibited with the Incoherents. His studio has been reconstructed at the musée de Metz. . Maison Alfred Mame Et Fils hardcover
