1912007388Paris: H. Floury 1912. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Hansi and Victor Huen. Folio 35 by 28.5 cm. 104 pp. with color lithographic illustrations on virtually every page often with the illustration an underlay in part or whole to the text and some illustrations on two pages. While a children's book this was written when Alsace and Lorraine were a part of Germany having been ceded by France as the settlement following France's humiliating defeat in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 to 1871 and so Hansi's book was very much a political statement of allegiance to France which at the time of his writing this was on the verge of entering World War One against Germany and three years after the publication of this copy France would regain Alsace. This and Hansi's many other books make him an unique and most beloved writer/illustrator of Alsace and France in general and his magical illustrations convey the values of Alsatian folk art in their color and simplicity. Condition: cloth binding browned around perimeter and the entirety of the spine. Some edge rubbing and fraying of fabric. A slight shake to the binding. Endpapers with narrow chipping along edge. Leaves age toned but mostly clean. H. Floury hardcover

191821845Paris: H. Floury 1918. Very Good/No Dust Jacket As Issued. <br /> <br /> A CHILD'S VISION OF ALSACE AT THE MOMENT OF LIBERATION.<br /> <br /> A richly illustrated patriotic children's book issued at the close of the First World War celebrating the return of Alsace to France. Published for Christmas 1918 the work presents an idealized vision of Alsatian towns and villages newly "delivered" combining regional architecture daily life and strong national symbolism.<br /> <br /> Hansi-one of the most important visual interpreters of Alsace-deploys his distinctive decorative style to create a unified visual narrative filled with tricolor flags cockades and folkloric detail. The result is both charming and purposeful: a work designed to educate and affirm identity in a region long contested between France and Germany.<br /> <br /> The vivid chromolithographed plates combined with abundant in-text illustrations elevate the volume beyond a simple children's book into a compelling artifact of wartime culture and visual propaganda. The boldly patterned binding further enhances its appeal as a striking piece of early 20th-century book design.<br /> <br /> DETAILS:<br /> First Edition First Printing 1918; issued for the Christmas season following the liberation of Alsace<br /> Quarto; 12 inches tall; 40 pages<br /> Publisher's decorated cloth binding with red and white striped design and floral roundels; mounted title label<br /> All edges stained red; pictorial endpapers<br /> Illustrated with 8 chromolithographed plates and numerous in-text decorations by Hansi<br /> Text in French<br /> <br /> CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS:<br /> A structured visual tour of Alsatian towns and villages at the moment of reintegration into France<br /> Strong architectural and cultural documentation of regional identity<br /> Cohesive visual narrative blending daily life folklore and patriotic symbolism<br /> Chromolithographed plates of notable richness and clarity<br /> A children's book functioning simultaneously as cultural narrative and postwar propaganda<br /> <br /> CONDITION: Very Good.

HISTORICAL CONTEXT -<br /> Published at the end of World War I Le Paradis Tricolore reflects the cultural reintegration of Alsace into France after nearly fifty years of German rule.
