Cette Lorraine et cette Alsace c'est à Nous! Victor Hugo .This heaven is our blue sky this field is our land. This Lorraine and this Alsace are ours!LabelJean-Jacques Waltz 'Hansi' was born in Colmar part of the German occupied Haut Rhin. He was a fierce French patriot. After studying at the Ecole des Beaux Arts Lyons he returned to Colmar where he began to write and illustrate articles and books ridiculing the German authorities in Alsace and Lorraine. He was condemned for high treason in Leipzig in 1914 but jumped bail and fled to France via Switzerland. He joined the French army as a private but was transferred to propaganda work. His style blends caricature with popular images in the style of Epinal. ‘Images d’Epinal’ were coloured woodcuts of contemporary subjects widely distributed in France. Hansi’s portrait of Alsace under French rule is represented as though it were a fairytale land with the Cathedral literally glowing on the horizon. Paris, Lapina, imp., circa 1918 unknown

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. Hansi's work played a significant role in shaping French perceptions of the region blending regional pride with national identity. Volumes such as this-produced at a moment of political and emotional transition-stand at the intersection of children's literature illustration and state-influenced visual culture.<br /> <br /> Subjects: Alsace World War I Hansi French illustration chromolithography children's books patriotic literature regional identity decorative bindings early 20th-century France.

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
1920002014Paris: H. Floury 1920. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Hansi and Victor Huen. Oblong measuring 32 by 24 cm 12.5 by 9.5 inches. Nostalgic look at Alsatian village of yore and as much of Hansi's writings about the French-ness of the village and demonizing the German occupiers who were only recently driven out at the time this copy was issued. The illustrations exude the naive charm of Hansi's best work whose legacy was to create an enduring visual image of Alsatian life. The decorated cloth boards have soiling and the fabric is worn by the corners and the spine extremities. Inside the pages have age toning but otherwise are clean. H. Floury hardcover
