30652Paris Au Sans Pareil coll. « Littérature » 10 août 1919. 1 vol. 140 x 195 mm de V 32 p. et 4 f. Broché non coupé. . Édition originale. Un des 10 premiers exemplaires sur japon ancien n° 2. . Agent de liaison entre les armées françaises et britanniques blessé en septembre 1915 Jacques Vaché fut hospitalisé à Saint-Dizier où il se lia d'amitié avec deux jeunes internes André Breton et Théodore Fraenkel. Les Lettres de guerre sont dédiées à ce dernier tandis que le Breton en rédige la préface : elles constituent l'oeuvre quasi complète de Vaché mises en forme après qu'il eut juste le temps d'assister à la première des Mamelles de Tirésias avant d'aller s'empoisonner à l'opium à l'Hôtel de France place Graslin à Nantes le 7 janvier 1919. Toutes les exégèses parlent du « suprême détachement » de Vaché de sa capacité à observer notre monde avec une objectivité manifeste qui donne à ses textes une élégance naturelle à laquelle nul travail d'écrivain ne saurait atteindre. Ces superbes lettres graves et légères emplies d'humour ont été écrites entre 1916 et novembre 1918 la dernière étant datée du 26 novembre à peine plus d'un mois avant sa mort. Breton responsable de cette édition - le troisième ouvrage de la collection « Littérature » publiée au Sans Pareil - confia que Jacques Vaché avait contribué à « détourner sa vie de son cours ». De celui qui lui avait révélé l'oeuvre de Jarry il écrivit : « Le temps que j'ai passé avec lui à Nantes en 1916 m'apparaît comme enchanté. . Sans lui j'aurais peut-être été un poète ; il a déjoué en moi ce complot de forces obscures qui mène à se croire quelque chose d'aussi absurde qu'une vocation. » Lettre à Jacques Doucet 20 novembre 1920 Précieux exemplaire de tête en parfaite condition non coupé.

324-Eo.J. Aquarell, weiß gehöht, über Bleistift, auf cremefarbenem Velin. 15,5:25 cm. In den Rändern ungleich beschnitten. Die flott gemalte Landschaft stammt sicher aus einem Skizzenbuch und dürfte auf Geists Reise nach Antwerpen im Jahr 1861 entstanden sein. Eine freiere Handhabung in der Darstellung von Licht- und Luftphänomen nach französischen Vorbildern, von denen er sich nur bedingt anregen ließ, ist hier zu beobachten.

417 pages. Index. Appendices. Footnotes. List of sixty black and white illustrations. A rare surviving copy of this important reference, made all the more engaging by today's environment of competing fiat currency devaluations. "Hitherto Numismatists when stydying the Origines of Coinage had confined themselves to the materials presented to them in the earliest money of Lydia, Greece and Italy, and on the other hand the Metrologists had almost completely limited their range of observation to the systems of Babylon, Egypt, Greece and Rome. As the Comparative Method has yielded such excellent results in the study of other human institutions, I have endeavoured by its aid to get some new principles which may throw some fresh light on the first beginnings of monetary and weight systems." - from Preface. Attractive gilt decoration upon green front board. Legible gilt lettering upon backstrip. Average external soiling and wear. Several chips from and lengthy openings along backstrip which has become brittle with age. Narrow opening along most of front hinge. Back hinge open. Bookplate discretely removed inside front board.

Quarto 12" x 8 ½" bound in original publisher's dark maroon velvet with gilt lettering to spine and cover with bright gilt insignia to cover in original slipcase. Transcription and introduction with notes by Miguel Nieto Nuño. Limited to 650 copies. <br /><i><br />La relación of Ãlvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca</i> is the account of his experiences with the Narvaez expedition and after being wrecked on Galveston Island in November 1528. Cabeza de Vaca and his last three men struggled to survive. They wandered along the Texas coast as prisoners of the Han and Capoque American Indians for two years while Cabeza de Vaca observed the people picking up their ways of life and customs. They traveled through the American Southwest and ultimately reached Mexico City nearly eight years after being wrecked on the island. In 1537 Cabeza de Vaca returned to Spain where he wrote his narratives of the Narvaez expedition. These narratives were collected and published in 1542 in Spain. They are now known as <i>The Relation of Ãlvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca.</i> The narrative of Cabeza de Vaca is the "first European book devoted completely to North America." His detailed account describes the lives of numerous tribes of American Indians of the time. Cabeza de Vaca showed compassion and respect for native peoples which together with the detail he recorded distinguishes his narrative from others of the period. <br /><b><br />Condition: <br /><br /></b>Fine in a near fine slipcase.
