Paris: La Vie Parisienne 1922. The March 18 1922 Issue 60e annee No 11. Illustrations by Cheri Herouard; Maurice Milliere; Georges Pavis; Pierre Lissac; Armand Vallee et al. Text in French. Illustrated wraps folio 13.75" x 10.5" 17 pp. 207 through 223 for the volume plus covers. Slender but large: folio size. See scans. Some cover soiling wrinkling wear and very small scale chips; contents sharp bright about Very Good overall; nice 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; Maurice Milliere; Georges Pavis; Pierre Lissac; Armand Vallee are credited for the big stuff 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 yields the cover art caption: "Impertinence de Mi-Careme / Un Pied de Nez" for which I do not know the colloquial translation for an artful depiction of a young lass about to don a mask; on the back cover a king welcomes a brand spanking new young queen who flirts with the old guy for her own reasons as he gushes admiration of her. Understandably. Similar captioning throughout. 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 3/18/1922 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
