Lagerungs-, kaum eigentliche Gebrauchsspuren. Gesamthaft sauberes, recht gutes und praktisch ungelesenes Exemplar / peu de traces d?age, presque points d?usage, en tout bon exemplaire. BNF no. FRBNF32123956 ? Gesamtauflage 650 hs. numerierte Exemplare; eines von ?470 ?Exemplaires sur vélin d?Arches, avec un état de toutes les illustrations? (en: Justification du tirage). ? Erstmals 1895 (Paris, Calmann Lévy, Editeur; FRBNF30457781) im Sedezformat (16°). - Grosszügig illustriert mit detailreichen Tafeln, Vignetten und Buchschmuck in mehrfarbiger Aquatinta (-Radierung) mit Goldakzenten, umrahmt von üppig gestalteten Bordüren. -- Bei den beteiligten Illustratoren handelt es sich um seinerzeit namhafte und mehrfach ausgezeichnete Künstler : Georges Antoine Rochegrosse (Versailles 1859-1938 [en Algérie]), peintre, illustrateur et lithographe, élève de Boulanger et de Jules Lefebvre. ?Rochegrosse fut l?un des peintres à la mode dans les années 1880?1900. Sa renommée était internationale [.]. Aujourd?hui, l?indifférence est venue, bien injuste, en tout cas pour le dessinateur qui collabora à la ?Vie Parisienne? et à d?autres revues auxquelles il apporta un talent indiscutable. Il a illustré des ouvrages littéraires [.].? (Bénézit 9, 1976). - Eugène Decisy (Metz 1866-c. 1936), peintre et graveur, élève de Boivin et Courtry. ?Il a illustré des gravures en couleurs [.] d?après les dessins de G. Rochegrosse.? (Bénézit 3, 1976). - Die an Illustrationen von Märchenbüchern gemahnenden Zeichnungen zeigen miniaturartig und in der Art mittelalterlicher Buchmalerei (Buchillumination) stilistisch mehr oder weniger variierend deutliche Anklänge an Arbeiten der englischen Präraffaeliten, an den Symbolismus, gelegentlich an den Orientalismus, unverkennbar aber auch an den Japonismus (z.B. Tafel p. 206 mit einem Schiffbrüchigen im Kampf mit den wie von Hiroshige inspirierten Meereswogen). - Was für Rochegrosses bemerkenswert akribisches Schaffen im Bereich der Malerei und seine Vorliebe für Katastrophenszenarien gilt, darf wohl auch auf seine Zeichnungen und Illustrationen zutreffen : ?Ihre minutiöse Zeichnung erhob Anspruch auf wissenschaftliche Genauigkeit: tatsächlich beschäftigte Rochegrosse neben zahlreichen Assistenten auch einen Archäologen, der ihn über die seit Ende der 1870er Jahre publizierten Ergebnisse von Schliemanns Grabungen in Troja auf dem laufenden hielt. [.] Das Grundmuster von Rochegrosses Erfolgsbildern war gegeben: Ein wehrloser Exponent einer als dekadent geschilderten Oberschicht wird durch einen unkontrollierbar gewordenen Mob in seiner Existenz bedroht - die Herrschenden trifft die Katastrophe. Alles spielt auf beliebig austauschbaren, historisch korrekt ausgestatteten Schauplätzen der ferneren Vergangenheit, welche den Zuschauern über die zeitliche Distanz hinweg die Illusion vermitteln, direkte Augenzeugen zu sein.? (etc.; Ph. Ursprung, Katastrophen für das Salonpublikum. Die Sensationsbilder von Georges Rochegrosse im ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert. In: Zschr. für schweiz. Archäologie und Kunstgeschichte, Bd. 52, 1995, p. 63 f.). -- Das Werk stellt eine Sammlung von Geschichten dar, die der Autor angeblich in Siena vom (fiktiven) italienischen Benediktinermönch R. P. Adone Doni erzählt bekommen habe: ?J?ai mis par écrit les contes qu?il me fit sur la route de Monte Oliveto. On les trouvera dans le présent livre. J?aurais voulu retenir, en les rédigeant, quelques restes de la grâce qu?ils avaient.

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good Plus. Georges Rochegrosse and Ch. Clèment. Etchings by Eugène Decisy. (illustrator). First Edition Thus. Limited Edition No. 126 of 1200; this having the limitation page initialed by the publisher, and being one of the iteration (Nos. 101 - 200) printed upon japon imperiál, containing two states of each etching, plus a separate suite of woodcuts in black on China tissue. Printed for Phillipe Renouard, (Paris bookseller and famed bibliographer of Parisian 15th and 16th century printers and booksellers.) Hard cover, large octavo (measuring 6 ¾ x 10 inches), with slipcase.** Finely bound** and stamp-signed, by Fernand Hauttecoeur in elaborate lapis blue morocco gilt, featuring an Egyptian-styled winged sun disc with flanking cobras to center front board, and triple papyrus blossom motifs to corners. These are inlaid in shades of red, orange, teal and tan. Exquisitely ornamented inner turn ins feature papyrus blossoms intertwined amongst gilt and black stems, setting off vibrant silk doublures of malachite green, peacock blue and gold. The original colored paper wraps are bound in. The book features 20 full page, tissue guarded (and 2 smaller,) etchings after the work of French art nouveau painter, GEORGES ROCHEGROSSE (1859-1938), etched by E. Decisy. Some additional illustration bears the signature of Charles Clémont.** CONDITION: Very Good Plus, or better. Spine is slightly darkened, and with a bit of rubbing at head. (One small divot near the title has been colored in the past.) Modern decorative rice paper has been imperfectly applied (with some bubbling) to verso of original endpapers at front and rear, perhaps to conceal a gift inscription (?) But even holding these pages up to the light does not reveal the cause. Text pages are clean, bright and the gouache decoration really superb. Two very small pencil reference numbers appear within, which may be the bookbinder's. The front hinge is cracked but holding firmly. The slipcase is Good and has definitely done its job to protect the brightly colored treasure within. ** The story was first serialized in "Moniteur Universel" in 1857, and in book form the following year. **AUTHOR THÉOPHILE GAUTIER (1811-1872) was a keen student of Egyptology, as were many of his contemporaries, as a raft of new archeological discoveries excited the French imagination. The story is of the discovery of a sarcophagus containing a mummy within a newly discovered tomb, by an English gentleman and party in the Biban el Moluk Valley near Thebes. The papyrus scroll buried with the sarcophagus reveals the romantic love tale of the beautiful Tahoser, daughter of Pharaoh Petamounoph. Overall, this finely detailed art and highly descriptive writing deserves appreciation for its synthesis of form and meaning. BnF 12148dotcb11958573d. (3.8 lbs) First Edition Thus.
