Calais Val Laces, Season 19 Red cloth over stiff boards. Lettered on upper cover in gilt (faded), blind stamp rules and ornaments in blind at corners. 14" x 18 3/4 x 3". Opens to 27 x 14". Laced at spine, chipped at corners, good condition.

This is a sample book that contains over 1500 cotton lace samples each of a different design. (The numbers ascend from 40000 to 41053, with some irregular numbering) . Each sample has pencil identification as well as a printed number. A few samples missing.

The type of sample book was made by a lace manufactures in Calais, France then taken or sent to the United States during 1916-17. It was intended for lace speciality stores or department stores where particular lace designs could be ordered from the sample book to be used on pillows or lingerie or wedding dresses.

This was an interesting period for lace from Calais because the demand was greatly diminished due to the war footing where non luxury goods were in demand at the exclusion of fancy goods. Also, the Calais port was used mostly for military purposes.

Le Grand Meaulnes ...remains still – the most delicate rendering so far achieved in literature of the romantic adolescent consciousness: with the enchanted lost domain to escape to in the opening part of the novel and a tale of idealistic aspirations and self-sacrafice to follow, it could not fail to win over a vast reading public appalled or bemused by the social and moral confusion of the post-war world.

Paris, France : Henri Plon, 1867. Spine lettered by E. Gordon Craig

Books lettered on the spine similar to this are known especially from the period of 1913-1914 while Craig was in Florence, operating the School for the Art of the Theatre at the Arena Goldoni. Most similar books from this period are thought to have been rebound by a local binder and then lettered by either E. Gordon Craig or his son Edward Arthur Craig who was his father’s assistance in Florence until 1929. A note in Edward Gordon’s hand, on the inside of the rear original wrapper, dates the book from 1933 Paris indicating that he lettered the spine himself, since his son was no longer in Florence.

from The Print-collector's Quarterly, Volume 9 “The now famous woodcut, the large cut of Waiting for the Marchioness...will probably remain one of the most sought-after examples of Gordon Craig's masterpieces on wood. Its superb spacing, its sense of skv and atmosphere, its grip of character, and its satisfying arrangement were a revelation to us all; and when one tries to discover the wizardry of it one is astonished at the restraint and absolute simplicity of the means employed to arouse the impression in our senses. Its indebtedness to James Pryde is obvious; but we have qualities in it that are owed to none and were inspired by none.

Garvey notes in The Artist & The Book" #93 "In search of accuracy of detail for La Belle- Enfant, one of the most celebrated of Dufy's illustrated books, he made preliminary studies in Marseilles, the locale of the novel.”

Vollard recounts the determination of Dufy to get exactly the right images he wanted. “His conscientioiusness was extraordinary. After several journeys to Marseilles – a Marseilles that is beginning to disappear, which adds still more to the interst of these illustrations – just as he was about to engrave one of the last plates, representing Aline’s salon, the artists felt doubtful. ...He decided to go to Marseilles... again.” (257-8)

Berlin: Im Prophlaen Verlag, 1923. #279 of 400 with signed frontispiece and limitation page by Liebermann and 17 full or partial page lithographs in black. (The first 100 were printed on Japan Vellum).

The Rabbi of Bacharach, set in the middle ages, is the beginning of Heine’s unfinished novel that describes the ordeal of Rabbi Abraham and his wife in the small town of Bacharach, Germany along the Mainz river. Gentiles come to the Passover Seder in order to secretly plant a body of a Christian child. They will accuse the Rabbi of ritual murder. Then when he is taken away, they will rob his home. The rabbi and his “schönne” [beautiful] Sarah manage to leave their home during an interval in the seder and run to the river docks. They are then transported (for a fee) down the Main to Frankfurt where they enter into the Jewish quarter without incident. In tha quarter, life is fully described with all its variety and color.

This unfinished story remains popular because it pictures life in the medieval Jewish community with detailed description of worship, customs, and pecking orders, as well as, dress, manners and a variety of activities within the Jewish quarter.

Max Liebermann’s realistic sketchbook style depicts scenes with a charcoal drawing-like simplicity. The stark depiction creates an atmosphere of dark foreboding.

Iliazd is assured a “permanent place in the history of the livre d’artiste” (Strachan, 294). “Iliazd deserves recognition for his unique aesthetic contribution to twentieth century livres d’artiste . . . . Iliazd made books first and foremost as the unique expression of deeply held beliefs, because they were the single medium in which he could give form to the many aspects ofhis intellectual and aesthetic interests” (Drucker, 73).

“Iliazd was among the most important publishers of livres d’artistes in the twentieth century . . . .After early books where he experimented with Russian constructivist typography he moved on to fine editions with exceptional artists . . .” (Kelly et al, 78).

The story concerns a girl who is named Saskia much against her mother’s wishes. The inscription reflects Jacob’s intention of writing a playful parable for a young person “What better processes todelight the father than to love his children”

“Painter René Rimbert mentioned in a letter to Jacob that if his expected child were to be a girl, he would name her Saskia after Rembrandts’s young wife. In his answer Jacob pointed out that Saskia is not a Christian name and that it is important not to subject a child to lifelong ridicule. This exchange of letters gave him the impetus to write the charming story.” (P.188 Black & Green).

Lucifer premiered June 19, 1975 at The Uris Theater in New York City as the main feature of The Martha Graham Gala.

In Martha Graham’s words, “Many people have asked me why I did Lucifer with Rudolf Nureyev. Lucifer is the bringer of light. When he fell from grace he mocked God. He became half god, half man. As half man, he knew men’s fears, anguish, and challenges. He became the god of light. Any artist is the bringer of light. That’s why I did Lucifer with Nureyev. He’s a god of light. And Margot Fonteyn was such a glorious complement to him at it. Luminous as night. When I first saw Margot Fonteyn she was a great and beautiful figure.” (Unidentified interview with Martha Graham, 1975.)

Shahn’s examination of the status quo inspired his creative process. Although he often explored polemic themes of modern urban life, organized labor, immigration and injustice, he did so while maintaining a compassionate tone. Shahn identified himself as a communicative artist. He challenged the esoteric pretensions of art, which he believed disconnect artists and their work from the public.[ As an alternative, he proposed an intimate and mutually beneficial relationship between artist and audience.

Blanche Thebom (1918- 2010).was the first American female opera singer to perform in Russia. With a beautiful mezzo soprano voice, and equally beautiful hair that extended six feet in length, she had a long and successful career as a soloist . Thebom performed at the Metropolitan Opera House in over 350 performances.

Photograph by Angus McBean (1950) who writes "After a series of conventional poses, McBean decided to photograph Thebom with her hair let down, which reached the floor. McBean contrived this pose, which required that the singer lie down on a bed of sand. He tore a sheet of wrapping paper to fit the contours of her hair in order to protect it from the grit."

Edition of 325 copies, this is #75. 10" x 13 ½”. Original wrappers, protective sleeve backed in vellum and lettered Paul Valery Degas. With 26 aquatint-etchings in color, tone or black engraved on copper by Maurice Potin, after original pastel or chalk drawings by Degas.

Degas Danse Dessin pictures ballet dancers in costume and in the nude, subject matter for which Degas was famous. Published by Ambroise Vollard in a livre d’artiste that brings forth Degas’ original drawings and monotypes in fidelity.* Vollard writes “I had to find an artist capable of fathoming the sensitiveness of [Degas’] drawing, the subtlety of his tone. I turned to the painter- graver Maurice Potin who accomplished wonders. He spared neither time nor trouble.” Potin often “had to engrave as many as three different copper plates to capture the rich, feathery effect of Degas’s monotypes. Six years were required for the project. “In his superbly engraved plates of aquatint-etching Potin has preserved the rich black and pastel colors of the original.” (Johnson p27)

No. 226 of 320 on Rives. Entire edition 375: 55 on Japon with a suite. Fourteen original full-page etchings hors text plus with 42 compositions in color many on a commedia dell’arte theme.

At the end of 1930, in anticipation of an exhibition devoted to his imprint to be held at the gallery Le Portique, Vollard published Fêtes Galantes. In the Artist and the Book in France, Strahan discusses Vollard’s problem designing a book composed of only a few short poems. “It will make a very thin booklet,” he was warned. There were, of course, fourteen full-page etchings on Commedia dell’arte motifs, printed by Louis Fort. The pages of poetry were set in Garamond with Laprade’s elegant vignettes placed above and below each poem. These were color printed by Maurice Potin. The end result, perfectly balanced, was “light and full of grace” (56).

Pierre Coffinhal-Laprade (1875-1931) was an important French Impressionist painter who first studied in the studio of Bourdelle in Montauban. In 1892, he moved to Paris, where he enrolled at the École des Beaux Arts. Laprade exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in 1901 and, shortly afterward, his entire studio of paintings was purchased by Ambrose Vollard, who was at the time Gauguin’s dealer. He was a contemporary of the Nabis with whom he shared a spiritual affinity. His work shows an intimacy and a “musical atmosphere” in its depictions of gardens, landscapes, and interiors. He was also greatly influenced by three trips to Italy. His Fêtes Galantes is considered a notable work is con Full Description: DontDelete $1,500 www.goldenlegend.com/pdfs/Verlaine_edited.pdf Copy and paste the link into your browser if it doesn't open in three seconds.

Anna May Wong, starring as Lan Ving in "Dangerous to Know." (1938) . Wong wears a black and white dinner gown with a large leaf motif. Edith Head, who designed the dress, adheres to a m

olded silhouette, long sleeves and high neckline.

During the 1930s, American studios were looking for fresh European talent. Ironically, Wong caught their eye, and she was offered a contract with Paramount Studios in 1930. Enticed by the promise of lead roles and top billing, she returned to the United States. The prestige and training she had gained during her years in Europe led to a starring role on Broadway in On the Spot a drama that ran for 1.67 performances and which she would later film as Dangerous to Know
