Contact seller1-star seller"Meissonier is now remembered as a master of genre and military painting, but he was also a leading Romantic illustratorÉthe book that comes to mind is Les contes rmois. Chevign's little stories in verse set in an earlier period are mild imitations of La Fontaine's Contes et nouvelles which feature for the most part the tribulat…ions of old husbands and amorous priests. They would hardly be remembered today if it were not for Meissonier's delicate and precise vignettes. He had a style which made everything he touched interesting" (Ray, The Art of the French Illustrated Book, 256). Octavo. [4], 239 pp. Steel-engraved frontispiece, wood-engraved title-page vignette, additional steel-engraved portrait, and forty-one wood-engraved head-pieces, thirty-four after Meisonnier and seven after Foulquier. Full red straight-grained morocco by Durvand. Gilt triple-rule borders on covers, spines gilt-tooled in compartments, gilt inner dentelles. All edges gilt. A little foxing to preliminaries, but still a fine copy in a lovely binding. In morocco-tipped slipcase. Original wrappers bound in. The present work was published in three formatsÑtwelvemo, octavo on Holland paper with the vignettes on China paper mounted, and octavo on vellum paper with the vignettes printed in the text. The present copy is in the last format, as was the Gordon Ray copy. Carteret III, 156 ff. ("ne des plus belles productions romantiques"). Gay-Lemonnyer I, 715.

Original orange paper wrappers bound in. With two frontispiece portraits, engraved dedication page with portrait, and 41 WOOD-ENGRAVED VIGNETTES, 34 of these BY E. MEISSONIER. Ray, "The Art of the French Illustrated Book" 256; Carteret III, 156; Vicaire II, 387. Minor offsetting to title page from engraved portrait, one opening with offsetting from ribbon marker, isolated tiny rust spots, but QUITE A FINE COPY, clean, fresh, and bright internally with ample margins, IN A SPARKLING BINDING with no signs of wear. Handsomely bound and charmingly illustrated, this collection of "Tales of Rheims" is full of poetic praise for that French city, the surrounding countryside, and its best-known product, Champagne. Poet and raconteur Louis de Chevigné (1793-1876) was married to the only daughter of la Veuve Cliquot, head of the famed Champagne house, and he promotes the family wares enthusiastically here, beginning the work by proclaiming "The happiest country is that of Champagne! / Its exquisite wines perfume the mountains!" and ending with a verse that asks "Is there a wine more gay than Champagne? Happiness accompanies it everywhere." These effervescent verses are enriched with graceful vignettes, most of them by Ernest Meissonier (1815-91). According to Ray, "Meissonier is now remembered as a master of genre and military painting, but he was also a leading Romantic illustrator," as memorably demonstrated in the present work: "Chevigné's little stories in verse set in an earlier period are mild imitations of La Fontaine's Contes et nouvelles which feature for the most part the tribulations of old husbands and amorous priests. They would hardly be remembered today if it were not for Meissonier's delicate and precise vignettes. He had a style which made everything he touched interesting." Carteret agrees, calling this "one of the most beautiful romantic productions." The binding here is a perfect example of the kind of handsomely done French classical work produced for an extended period under the name of Chambolle. A rough contemporary of, and certainly the equal in technique to, binders like Trautz, Marius Michel père, Lortic, and Cuzin, the elder Chambolle served his apprenticeship under Hippolyte Duru and later formed a partnership with him, as is clear from the stamped signature on our volume. Chambolle's son continued the business when his father retired in 1898, and in her "Modern Bookbindings," Sarah Prideaux says of her contemporary, "Chambolle most worthily continues the traditions associated with the name of his father. . . . To him are confided the classics of former times, which he clothes in the styles appropriate to them, keeping to a simplicity of ornamentation which reveals great taste and feeling for composition." While copies of this work appear in the marketplace regularly, it is unusual to find one in such an attractive binding and in such desirable condition. Third Edition; First Edition with these Illustrations.
