Â Bound in black straight-grain morocco covers gilt paneled central panel with arabesque tooling at corners smooth spine with gilt title cartouche lettered â€œBluettesâ€ from which extend triple gilt fillets terminating in ornaments at head and tail gilt edges with moirÃ© satin endleaves; binding a bit rubbed with corners bumped. A manuscript of poems and short prose pieces all in a romantic vein illustrated with quite accomplished pen-and-ink drawings presumably by the author whose name and the date of the manuscript are supplied on the verso of the front free endpaper:Â â€œLe Baron Achille de Cholet / Officier Ã¡ lâ€™Etat-Major / 1836â€. In the first poem Aux Dames the poet calls himself a â€œnovice Ecolierâ€ implying youthfulness and the date of 1836 on the front fly leaf is probably at the time of writing although some of the many corrections and deletions may have been added later.Â The titles of the other poems or groups of poems are :Â Le Rin Le DÃ©serteur Lâ€™Isolement Lâ€™ImpiÃ©tÃ© Un Croix sur la Montagne La MÃ¨re du Prisonnier Lâ€™Avenir / Ã¡ Melle Francine dâ€™Hurbal Rheyms SÃ©paration Lâ€™Enfant perdu Lâ€™Adieu au Plaisir La Campagne / Ã¡ Mr le Vicomte Alfred de R. . . Le Cloches du Soir La Neige Les Pauvres and Le Jour des Rois . . . These stolid sentimental poems and prose impressions reflect the prevailing Romanticism of the period as do the far more skillfully executed pen-and-ink drawings that illustrate them.Â Somber or dreamlike with dark cross-hatching contrasting with lighter areas the drawings show a dark tunnel under a rocky mountainside a soldier in a garret or prison a cloaked barefoot man an emblematic trophy with musical instruments and weaponry a raven perched on ruined tombstones and columns a domestic scene of father and daughter a women on her knees the faÃ§ade of Reims Cathedral surrounded by swirling clouds architectural details of cathedrals several surrounded by decaying facades and vignettes of crumbling chateaux pastoral churches and snow-covered gatehouses all of which reflect the vogue for lâ€™ancienne France and the â€œpittoresqueâ€ as notably popularized by Nodier and Taylor in their Voyage pittoresque et romantiques dans lâ€™Ancienne France 23 volumes 1820-1878. Achille de Cholet was descended from an ancient Anjou noble family according to his obituary in 1888 in the Bulletin hÃ©raldique de France vol. 7 235-6.Â He became an officer in the LÃ©gion dâ€™honneur and was well known for his important topographic researches in the south of France.Â A few of the pieces in the manuscript are dedicated to aristocrats mainly female. It seems likely that the Baron shared his familyâ€™s Royalist views: his father had died in exile and his brother whose first name is not given in the obituary was an â€œardent champion of the Royalists pressâ€ and author of a book title Madame en VendÃ©e relating the attempted coup in 1832 of the duchesse de Berry mother of the Prentender the Comte de Chambord which was pursued and effectively banned by the tribunals indeed the work appears not be recorded in OCLC or other online OPACs.Â Thanks to Nina Musinsky for this description. . unknown
