Il s'agrÂŽmente - ici en premier tirage - des superbes compositions originales en couleurs de Jacques Villon lithographiÂŽes sur les presses de Mourlot FrÂre. ''L'oeuvre gravÂŽe de Jacques Villon marque une date dans l'histoire de cette technique. L'importance accordÂŽe ˆ la lumiÂre le sens de la construction et de l'unitÂŽ de l'espace n'ont cessÂŽ de prÂŽoccuper l'artiste tout au long de sa carriÂre. in Bailly-Herzberg citant la prÂŽsente contribution de l'artiste. En 1913 Villon crÂŽe ses chefs dÕÃuvre cubistes sept grandes pointes sÂches o les formes se cassent en plans pyramidaux obscurcis. La mÂme annÂŽe il expose au cÂŽlÂbre Armory Show de New York qui contribue ˆ introduire l'art moderne aux ƒtats-Unis. Ses Ãuvres connaissent une grande popularitÂŽ et se vendent sans peine. Sa notoriÂŽtÂŽ grandit tellement que dÂs les annÂŽes 1930 il est mieux connu aux ƒtats-Unis quÕen Europe. La galerie Louis CarrÂŽ organise une exposition de son Ãuvre ˆ Paris en 1944 ˆ la suite de quoi il reÂoit des rÂŽcompenses dans un certain nombre dÕexpositions internationales. En 1950 il reÂoit le prix Carnegie et en 1954 il est nommÂŽ commandeur de la LÂŽgion d'honneur. L'annÂŽe suivante il reÂoit la commande des vitraux de la cathÂŽdrale ˆ Metz La France. En 1956 le grand prix de la Biennale de Venise lui est dÂŽcernÂŽ ˆ lÕexposition. Les plus grandes rÂŽalisations de Villon en gravure sont sa crÂŽation dÕune langue purement graphique pour le cubisme une rÂŽalisation dont aucun autre graveur y compris ses camarades cubistes Picasso ou Braque ne pourrait se vanter. Un caractÂre Didot a spÂŽcialement ÂŽtÂŽ fondu pour cette ÂŽdition par la Fonderie Peignot.

Un jour de dÂŽcembre quelques annÂŽes avant la rÂŽvolution de 1830 dans une petite ville du Cotentin plusieurs amis se rÂŽunissent pour leur causerie du soir et trÂs vite l'un d'entre eux ÂŽvoque la rencontre qu'il vient de faire : celle du chevalier Des Touches ci-devant hÂŽros de la chouannerie.

De cette soirÂŽe de dÂŽcembre un enfant silencieux avait ÂŽtÂŽ tÂŽmoin et c'est l'auteur lui-mÂme qui en fait la matiÂre de ce roman. Peu importe que Des Touches y devienne un hÂŽros plus glorieux qu'il ne le fut en rÂŽalitÂŽ. L'essentiel est ailleurs : c'est que si les chouans vers 1799 au moment de ce rÂŽcit mÂnent encore la guerre ils l'ont dÂŽjˆ perdue. Un royalisme dÂŽsenchantÂŽ teinte ainsi tout le roman sans en attÂŽnuer la vigueur et bien plus tard Anatole France ÂŽvoquera l'"impression trÂs forte" que lui auront laissÂŽe ces "figures ˆ la fois hÂŽro•ques et brutales" : "Ce livre dira-t-il me donna le frisson."

Hermann Struck 1876-1944 was a German Jewish artist known for his etchings. A fervent Zionist and Jewish activist Struck visited the Land of Israel in 1903 displayed his art at the Fifth Zionist Congress and was a founder of the Mizrachi Religious Zionist movement. At the same time he was a German patriot and volunteered for military service in World War I serving as a translator liaison officer and military artist. Hermann Struck was awarded the Iron Cross 1st Class and promoted to an officer for bravery in 1917 he became the referent for Jewish affairs at the German Eastern Front High Command. Struck immigrated to Palestine in 1922 taught at Bezalel Academy and helped establish the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. He visited Berlin every summer until the Nazis rose to power.<br /> <br /> From the beginning of the war the German authorities found themselves confronted with an unexpected influx of prisoners. In September 1914 125050 French soldiers and 94000 Russian ones were held captive. Before 1915 conditions of detention in Germany were very harsh and marked by temporary lodging and the absence of infrastructure. The prisoners slept in hangars or tents where they dug holes to keep warm. The humid forts requisitioned to serve as places of detention led to numerous cases of pulmonary illness. The German authorities also commandeered schools barns and various other types of shelters. Camps were established in the countryside as well as near the towns which had consequences when epidemics of cholera or typhus threatened to spread to the civilian population. Not all the camps were situated on German territory; a certain number were built in occupied territories notably in northern and eastern France. They began to be developed starting in 1915 when the number of prisoners being held captive in Germany reached 652000. According to official directives each prisoner had to have use of 26.9 square foot 2.5 m². The camps mixed a large number of nationalities sharing the same quarters: French Russian British American Canadian Belgian Italian Romanian Serbian Montenegrin Portuguese and Japanese prisoners were found there as well as Greeks and Brazilians. Equally soldiers of various social origins rubbed elbows: workers peasants bureaucrats and intellectuals were among those held. The number of prisoners rose very quickly. From February to August 1915 it went from 652000 to 1045232. In August 1916 it reached 1625000 jumping to 2415000 by October 1918.

1895180743Tokyo.: Tokyo Toyodo. No Date. Ca1895. 10 double-page colour lithographs plus 8pp unpaginated text at the rear. Bound concertina style boards are detached with paper loss at the corners small area light damp staining at the lower left corner some light browning margins and central folds otherwise images are very good. Publisher's label removed from rear pastedown. The text relating to the last image in the book states that "when the war between Japan and China was at its height playing at soldiers was all the rage with boys." This suggests a publication date shortly after 1896 following the first Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and preceding the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. There were apparently different editions of this work with different covers and variant images. The first image in this edition is of two children one reading and one writing. The text states that "This picture takes us back to the days when education in Japan was for the mass of the people a matter of private effort the present extensive system of government schools subordinate to an Education Department dating only form 1871." The other images are: girls playing battledore and shuttlecock; boys flying kites; the Doll's festival; children playing kotoro kotoro in Ueno Park boys on bamboo stilts boys in a procession children playing in a stream; boys wrestling sumo. .
