Item description from seller

8vo. Original wraps. Rare. Very good.[4], 296pp. 12 x 18.6cm. Catulle Mendès (1841-1909), French poet and man of letters, of Jewish extraction, was born at Bordeaux on the 22nd of May 1841. He early established himself in Paris, attaining early fame with the publication in the Revue fantaisiste (1861) of his "Roman d'une nuit," for which he was sentenced to a month's imprisonment and a fine of 500 francs. He was allied with the Parnassians from the beginning of the movement, and displayed extraordinary metrical skill in his first volume of poems, Philomela (1863). . Renoir did a famous painting of his daughters, now at the Met: The Daughters of Catulle Mendès, Huguette (1871-1964), Claudine (1876-1937), and Helyonne (1879-1955).Thadée Natanson, (1868-1951), was the co-founder in 1889 of La Revue blanche, with his brother. He married the famous muse Misia Godebska in 1893.Provenance: Natanson estate.Thadée Natanson, né à Varsovie en 1868, est issu d'une riche famille polonaise émigrée à Paris. Avec ses deux frères Alexandre et Louis-Alfred et leurs camarades du lycée Condorcet, il fonde en 1889 une revue entièrement dédiée à la poésie, La Revue Blanche. Il épouse Misia Godebska en 1893, laquelle devient rapidement la "Reine de Paris". Le couple reçoit des personnalités du monde artistique et littéraire de la Belle Époque, notamment Stéphane Mallarmé, Félix Vallotton, Toulouse-Lautrec, Octave Mirbeau ou encore Marcel Proust. Son engagement en faveur d'Alfred Dreyfus lui fait perdre de nombreux soutiens et La Revue Blanche fait faillite peu de temps après son divorce avec Misia en 1905. Natanson se tourne alors vers les affaires et l'industrie, jusqu'à sa mort en 1951 à Paris.Expertise by Jean Lequoy ,Librairie Giraud-Badin 22, rue Guynemer 75006 Paris Tél. 01 45 48 30 58.…
