1919006581Paris: Collection Pierre Corrard. Chez Meynial 1919. First Limited Edition. Folio. . Near Fine. No. 285 of 300 copies. Printed on Japon from the Manufacture Asidzuoka. Folio. 48.5 by 33.5 cm. 4 leaves 8 numbered leaves followed by eight large pochoir plates. Pochoir artwork on top title page. Two title pages and uncertain that either qualifies as half title. The pochoirs are feasts of brilliant seductive color; we would consider this work one of the true high points of the pochoir printing movement from the early 20th century. The artwork can be categorized with equal claim as Impressionist Post-Impressionist or Art Deco. Condition: ribbon tie gone. A touch of light soiling on cover. Otherwise clean fresh with all tissue guards preserved as well. <br /><br /> Collection Pierre Corrard. Chez Meynial books
1921006579Chez Jacoub Aulard & Cie. 1921. Limp Card. Paper pastedown on card. . Very Good. No. 58 of 300 copies on "Grande Fibre de Bambou de Cochin-Chine". Folio 38 cm square. 24 pochoir plates 3 of which are double pages with a brief introductory page and a limitation page at the end. Scarce with only two institutional holdings reflected on OCLC First Search both in France. Caricatures bear a superficial resemblance to those of Sem. The subject matter -- the rich pampered louche effete -- come in for gentle drubbing by both artists. But Chastel's caricatures strike us as more cutting edge more modernist and compositionally quite virtuosic in the manner that they can somehow incorporate cubist aesthetics all the time rendering likenesses that we suspect would have been instantly recognizable by contemporaries. And without being strictly speaking realistic Chastel recreates convincingly the atmosphere and spirit of scenes depicted. This being an album about the fashionable channel resort of Deauville we here are shown people at the gaming tables at the race track sur la plage and engaged in drinking dancing smoking and almost always peacocking -- looking to see and be seen! Condition: chipping of the paper along the spine as virtually inevitable given the material. Light soiling on the paper pastedown. Some gentle edge creasing of the leaves within a result of their not having the the exact same measurements and their never having been together. <br /><br /> Chez Jacoub Aulard & Cie. books

Five-time recipient of the Robert Capa Gold Medal Magnum photographer James Nachtwey "must be considered the leading war photographer of today and not simply because he has covered so many of the world's recent conflicts.

Inferno Nachtwey's second book and his first in over ten years presents unforgettable images of war famine and loss in areas such as Romania Bosnia Rwanda and Kosovo. To Richard Avedon Inferno is undeniably "the most painful and beautiful book in the history of photography." "In Nachtwey's photographs the boundary between living and dead is slim.
