18943355Paris: Imprimerie Generale Lahure for: Librairie de L. Conquet 1894. 12mo. Contemporary burgundy levant morocco gilt extra by H.E. Laskine: triple gilt fillet around sides enclosing a blue morocco inlaid frame turn-ins similarly gilt and inlaid silk moire pastedowns and endpapers the verso and the recto opposite of comb-marbled paper original hand-colored wrappers bound in top edges gilt others untrimmed. Text and wrappers inexplicably foxed throughout see images and priced accordingly; apart from extremely minor abrasions at head and tail the binding is superb state. PRINTED FOR THE ARTIST HIMSELF Maurice Leloir as stated in letterpress on the verso of the half-title on Japon paper with an extra suite of all the illustrations hors-texte bound in. <br/><br/>Charles Nodier 1783-1844 author insatiable book collector and long-serving librarian of the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal was the progenitor of the kind of bibliophily practiced in France to the present day. He was also an unrivalled seller of books by auction. In 1838 he declared that God had made him rich enough five times to buy books and five times so poor that he had to sell them again. He sold his books for the first time in 1802 at the age of nineteen and sold reconstituted collections or parts of them at auction in 1809 1813 1817 1827 and 1829. In advance of forthcoming sales Nodier aroused a great deal of excitement by publishing his own literary and bibliographical investigations into the books to be offered in the form of "Mélanges" and "Nouveau Mélanges." It is a remarkable fact that Nodier wrote nearly all the descriptions that appeared in the posthumous sale catalogue of his library Techener 1844.<br/><br/>Nodier was in the forefront of those French collectors who had simple contemporary bindings on old books ripped off and replaced by modern more elaborate bindings; among his favored butchers were Koehler and Thouvenin. <br/><br/>Our copy does not contain any statement of limitation which was bound in ordinary copies; instead on the verso of the half-title the name of the special recipient is printed: "Exemplaire tire pour Monsieur Maurice Leloir." We have seen mention that the edition was limited to 150 numbered copies on Japon from a total edition of 500. The number of "named" hors-serie copies has not be determined but it must have been extremely small.<br/><br/>The binder H.E. Laskine clearly possessed a high degree of artistry and technical abilities; and yet very few bindings by him/her have been located: only three examples are listed in RBH's Rare Book Transactions database which currently holds more than 10 million records sic. Laskine remained unknown to Flety. [Imprimerie Generale Lahure for]: Librairie de L. Conquet unknown books

Text evenly toned extremities with some chipping here and there on account of the paperstock. First edition of the first fully realized book design by Melchoir Lechter 1865-1937 a triumph of Jugendstil / art-nouveau typography which perfectly complements the mystical essays by the famed Belgian Symbolist Maurice Maeterlinck. The type used herein is now known as Lechter-Schrift after the name of its designer. According to Schauer this book defines the beginning of German book arts of the twentieth century and is justly considered "a great book in which everything is dark colorful and primeval." Upon publication it was widely praised as the most beautiful German book of the day O. Grautoff. Ordinary copies our bound in wrappers designed by Lechter. Our copy has both wrappers bound into a remarkable German vernacular binding of burlap cloth with cloth onlays of green fish adorned with sequins all adhered to art-nouveau patterned cloth of lily pads and fronds. The early ownership inscription reveals that the book was acquired by an English or American woman named Lillie C. Schleiser in Munich in 1903. Perhaps the present volume was bound there <br/><br/>As is stated in the colophon: "Cover design ornaments headings numbers initials and typography arrangement by Melchior Lechter under whose artistic direction this book was printed in the year 1898 by Otto Von Holten Berlin." "Bei seinem Erscheinen vielfältig als das schönste deutsche Buch gepriesen" O. Grautoff. Lechter is best known for his book design glass paintings drawings calendars catalogues ex-libris designs and posters. He also designed furniture carpets wallpaper and stained glass windows. <br/><br/>This is the trade edition of the first authorized German translation of "Le Trésor des Humbles" 1896 / "The Treasure of the Humble" 1897 containing an essay on Ralph Waldo Emerson not found in the English edition. It was created on the occasion of the 1898 Maeterlinck exhibition of the same name. As is well known Maeterlinck received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1911. <br/><br/>References: Transfer und Modifikation: Mario Zanucchi Die französischen Symbolisten in der deutschsprachigen Lyrik der Moderne 1890-1923 Abb. 2.
