B. as well. - In 1937 the swedish anarchist Rudolf Berner (AKA Frank Tireur) who had already been active in underground work in Spain and in Nazi Germany managed to enter Germany again for a secret mission because border guards had not noticed the entry stamp of Republican Spain in his passport. He first went to Wuppertal and Duesseldorf where he met german marxist Dina Frank (then married to Otto Meyer of kindred spirit) for the first time. Frank's and Meyer's house was a meeting-point for antifascist activists. Including short trips back to Sweden and to Poland Berner spent some six weeks in Germany to intensify contacts with german anarchists and socalists before he travelled onwards to Spain. He published his report on german underground activities in Stockholm in 1940; it counts as keywork on the anarchosyndicalist activities in Nazi-Germany. Frank and Meyer went into norwegian exile soon afterwards and to Sweden when Germany occupied Norway. She later divorced from Meyer came close with Berner and they married in 1948. . . --- Frontcover minimally used; A BEAUTIFUL COPY OF THE FRAGILE PUBLICATION. - Also in stock 'OTTO FRIDÉN (= Otto Friedlaender, 1897-1954): MAKT OCH MAGI. - EN SOCIALPSYKOLOGISK UNDERSÖKNING.'

Il est surtout connu pour avoir exposer à plusieurs reprises au Salon des Humoriste, une manifestation créée en 1907 par Félix Juven, directeur du journal Le Rire. Ce Salon regroupe alors les peintres attachés à la vie montmartroise qui choisissent d'exprimer leur art par l'humour. Forain, Willette, Faivre, Poulbot et bien d'autres y présentent leurs uvres comme Hoyois. Ce Salon s'impose très vite comme l'une des manifestations artistiques les plus suivies de la Belle Époque. Le Salon des Humoristes perdura jusqu'au début des années 1930, année où Hoyois expose aussi ses travaux au Salon de l'École française à Paris.''(from the website of 'Galerie Terrades, 8 rue d'Alger, 75001 Paris).

L (Mecklembourgeois) / Fondateur de l'Institution Biblique Stéréotype / de Paris / Membre . . . / . . . / à Paris le 20 Juin 1813.'' --- Lutheran Pastor Frédéric Léo from Mecklenburg-Germany was sent as 'pastor-suffragan' of the Lutheran Consistory to Paris in 1811 to spread the protestant view of christianity in the catholic heart of France, and with the support of Frederic Louis Crownprince of Mecklenburg - to whom he dedicated this particular bibliophile copy - raised funds for the massprint of bibles (not only) from the crownprince's former brother-in-law Tsar Alexander I., who himself founded of the 'Bible Society of Russia'. Together with the famous french printer Firmin Didot, who perfectionized the stereotype-printing process to produce a very large number of pages from 1 plate in lasting good quality and economically successful, Léo started the mass-production of Ostervald's New Testament in 1813 which in quality and number by far exceeded earlier stereotype bible-editions in Germany (Canstein/Halle) and England (Stanhope/Cambridge), although not many seem to have survived resp. can be found in trade. This was the initial moment for the mass-production and wide-spread of printed bibles, affordable for 'everyone'. Encouraged by his success in 1816 Léo also initiated a 'Catholic Society for the Distribution of the New Testament' to publish an edition according to the version of Sacy until his 'Institution Biblique Stéréotype' was shut down by the Vatican's condemnation of Bible Societies in 1825. The publishing of protestant as well as catholic bibles also made him a Pioneer of ecumenical christianity. . . - BINDING SLIGHTLY RUBBED, rearpanel slightly scratched, bottom of frontjoint slightly split for 2-cm; A BEAUTIFUL COPY IN ALMOST BEST CONDITION AND WITH THE BEST POSSIBLE ASSOCIATION (until a dedication copy to Alexander I. in his private binding may be discovered); A MILESTONE IN PRINTING-HISTORY. . .
