1862006327Paris: A. Lévy Fils 1862. Half Morocco. Very Good. Sand Maurice. All the plates are here rendered in three states -- full hand-colored black and white and sepia and white! 2 volumes 4to. 28 by 20 cm. viii 356 2 384 pp. 50 hand-colored plates and 100 additional in the two other formats featuring the stock characters of the improvisational Theatre Italienne such as Harlequino Arlechino Pulcinella Colombine Pagliaccio Pierrot Pantalon L'Apothicaire Le Notaire Scaramuccia Pasquariello etc. Nowadays these characters are most familiar to opera-goers thanks to the comical works of Donizetti Mascagni Busoni Mozart etc. Most of these characters grew out of the roaming theatrical troupes that originated in Italy of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The costume and basic personality of the character remained stable from one performance to the next but within those parameters the characters in a troupe usually following the broad contours of a story line would improvise bringing in buffonery perhaps relating to the events of the day the specific venue where they were appearing or whatever else might spring into their mind on the spur of the moment. In the eighteenth century the free form went into decline replaced by more scripted plays but its influence is very evident in the plays of Goldoni Moliere who worked well before the form vanished and besides the opera buffa early twentieth century Vaudeville ballet and more current comedy. Also the costume from the Theatre Italienne has never failed to excite enthusiasm and thus it is often celebrated in the decorative arts as perhaps most magnificently in porcelain beginning in the eighteenth century with Meissen Nymphenburg and many other makes. Today the style of Harlequin or Arlecchino continue to be emulated in clothes design with some regularity. This two volume celebration of the costume and characters of this theater was written by Maurice Sand who was the son of the novelist George Sand who wrote the preface. Maurice Sand 1823 -1889 was an accomplished illustrator and writer in his own right. Provenance: this copy comes from the heirs of John James Audobon. The initials "V.A." are stamped on both front boards; these initials probably refer to Victor Gifford Audubon Jr. 1847-1915 the artist's grandson. Condition: some minor scuffs and abrasions on the leather spine shelfwear on the edges. A few some light soil spots here and there but overall quite clean and bright. <br /><br /> A. Lévy Fils books

190052955Elbeuf: A. MARTIN 1900. Fine. A. MARTIN Elbeuf S.d Circa 1900 10.50 x 16.50 cm une feuille Original photograph of Maurice Blanchot at about one year old seated on a pedestal surrounded by his brothers and sisters. Original photograph of Maurice Blanchot at about one year old seated on a pedestal surrounded by his brothers and sisters. Contemporary silver print. Blanchot eluded the photographers and caricaturists of the literary press for a long time. Attempts at producing an image were both rare and minimalist throughout the years. In 1962 in Express a hand holds up a book at the bottom of the page; in 1979 in Libération a blank square in the middle of the page captioned only with Blanchots name and a quotation from lEntretien infini ""a vacuum of a universe: nothing that is visible nothing that is invisible C. Bident Maurice Blanchot. In 1986 at an exhibition of writers portraits he asked that his photo be replaced with a text noting his desire to appear as little as possible not for the exaltation of his books but to avoid the presence of an author who pretends to a separate existence. A photo taken without his knowledge in the parking lot of a supermarket was the only portrait of the writer until his friend Emmanuel Lévinas made public a few rare photos from their youth. That Blanchot did not oppose this act and the fact that it was done by his closest friend can be explained by what Bident calls l'espacement de l'inquiétude the distancing of worry the outdated nature of the portraits made public carry an echo of the delayed publication of L'Idylle Le Dernier Mot L'Arrêt de mort. Only a few photographs gathered in the centre pages of the issue of les Cahiers de l'Herne dedicated Maurice Blanchot complement these unique shots of the most secretive writer of the 20 th century. In his chapter on L'indisposition du secret The indisposition of the secret Christophe Bident devotes several pages to the almost complete absence of images of this invisible partner wondering about the intellectual and psychological motivations of the writer who was nonetheless aware of the inevitable revelation to come. Everything must become public. The secret must be broken. The obscure must enter into the day and make itself clear. That which cannot be said must nonetheless make itself heard.
