1925001502Paris: La Vie Parisienne 1925. First Edition . Illustrated Wraps. Near Fine. 13.75" x 10.5. Cheri Herouard Georges Leonnec Henry Fournier Henri Avelot Maurice Milliere Georges Pavis. Paris: La Vie Parisienne 1925. The August 22 1925 Issue 63e annee No 34. Illustrations by Cheri Herouard Georges Leonnec Henry Fournier Henri Avelot Maurice Milliere Georges Pavis others uncredited. Text in French. Illustrated wraps folio 13.75" x 10.5" 18 pp. Near Fine; some light soil at covers and that's about it. An extraordinarily high grade example; not far from As New after all this time. See scans. Exceptional condition for this thin-but-large fragile weekly. Glossy covers; first and last few internal pages are on newsprint else all glossy. Rather spectacular full-page color illustrations in every issue in fact by the coterie of guys who knew how to do what you see here. In the case of this issue Cheri Herouard Georges Leonnec Henry Fournier Henri Avelot Maurice Milliere Georges Pavis are credited but some of the other very credit-worthy art is uncredited. See scans. Cute humor from the same mood as mutoscope cards or perhaps a bit only a bit more refined. Gentle titillation. Even the occasional partial nudity is rather tasteful and soft though humorously flirtatious. All of the full page efforts 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 8/22/1925 issue of this memorable and long-lived French weekly offering of very soft very artful light erotica. The captioned illustrations by the eminent "dessins" luminaries named above and others in their clan are 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
