1962149466N.p.: Agnes Delahaie Productions 1962. Vintage borderless photograph of Florence Delay as Joan being led to trial from the set of the 1962 film. Seen is the back of Robert Bresson's head wearing his signature straw hat behind the camera. French studio stamp reading "Le Proces de Jeanne d'Arc" on the verso.<br /> <br /> Linda Rasmussen at AllMovie notes: "Characteristically breaking with tradition director Robert Bresson presents a realistic unique view of the life and death of Joan of Arc. Using a script based on the actual transcript notes taken during her trial Bresson focuses on the psychological and physical torture that Joan had to endure showing how these techniques were used to break her resolve and cause her to eventually recant her faith. <br /> <br /> "With impeccable historical accuracy Bresson re-creates the story of the peasant girl who after leading an unsuccessful revolt against the government was brought to trial convicted of heresy and burned as a witch. However Bresson shows Joan Florence Carrez as a woman more sophisticated and calculating and less naive than she has normally been represented. His Joan while more real is no less heroic than the traditional Joan."<br /> <br /> 7 x 9.5 inches. Near Fine. Agnes Delahaie Productions unknown

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -<br /> Florence Morse Kingsley was a defining voice in early twentieth-century American religious fiction writing stories that bridged the gap between strict doctrine and the emerging 'New Thought' movement's optimism. <br /> <br /> This 1911 illustrated edition represents the height of the Edwardian 'gift book' market a period when publishers transformed popular texts into decorative objects for ceremonial giving. Unlike standard trade editions this volume was designed to be displayed and cherished evidenced by the elaborate gilt tooling and painterly illustrations by Ethel Pennewill Brown. <br /> <br /> The presence of the original box and glassine wrapper is scarce offering collectors a complete view of how high-end fiction was marketed and preserved over a century ago.<br /> <br /> Keywords: Florence Morse Kingsley The Transfiguration of Miss Philura 1911 Gift Books Edwardian Bindings Decorative Cloth Ethel Pennewill Brown Women's Religious Fiction Protestant Literature New Thought Movement Funk & Wagnalls.<br /> <br /> Bibliographic Ref: Funk & Wagnalls publisher catalogs ca. 1911 Funk & Wagnalls Company hardcover

Pp. xi plus 40 plates printed in various techniques partly lithography partly collotype mostly double-page or folding several in exquisite coloured collotype including the frontispiece. HARDCOVER bound in the original publisher's full cloth large decoration embossed on cover in gilt gilt spine; the shine of the cloth coating very superficially rubbed in places on cover. In excellent condition mint interior. A splendid copy seldom found in such condition. ~ FIRST EDITION. An outstanding production. Collotype is one of the most accurate and attractive methods of photomechanical tonal printing processes. Highly skilled and expensive process it cannot produce more than a limited number of impressions. It has been used for single-sheet prints and luxury portfolios and since the 1950s has been abandoned by all except a few small specialist firms. Coloured collotypes the size of the plates here image size up to ca. 50x110 cm are very rare indeed in book production so much so in such superb quality.
