Title: Catalogue des Tableaux précieux, des plus grands Maîtres des Ecoles Flamande & Hollandoise; qui composaient le Cabinet de Monsieur le Duc de la Valliere; dont la Vente se fera…le Mercredi 21 Février 1781, & jours suivans…Sous la direction de A. Paillet, Peintre
Author: (AUCTION CATALOGUE: LA VALLIERE, Louis César de la Baume Le Blanc, duc de)
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: 48 pp. 8vo (180 x 130 mm.), late 19th-cent. brown morocco-backed marbled boards, spine gilt. Paris: Delaville & Paillet, 1781. The auction catalogue of 114 paintings belonging to the Duc de la Vallière (1708-80), the greatest bibliophile of the 18th century. This copy is fully priced, with many buyers’ names added in a contemporary hand. In addition to his fervent book collecting, La Vallière amassed an impressive collection of Italian and Northern school paintings, described here. The present catalogue details 114 lots of paintings and a lot of two porcelain candle-stands. The paintings include the work of Raphael, Veronese, Tintoretto, Jordaens, Teniers, Rembrandt, Dou, Wouwerman, G. & T. Netscher, Metsu, van Ostade, A. and P. van der Werff, Steen, Cornelis Bega, Breenbergh, Poelenburgh, etc. Lot 74, Steen’s The Drawing Lesson, is now at the Getty. The contemporary annotator records that important dealers (Lebrun le jeune, Lenglier, Basan, Paillet, and Hamon), and collectors (Dubois, abbé Richard, Saint Yves, de Vouge, Bélisard), of the period were present at this sale. The total written at the end, 58,760 – 4 livres, does not agree with the amount noted in the Frick copy. Alexandre Joseph Paillet (1743-1814), this sale’s expert, was La Vallière’s trusted agent and organized this sale. Paillet also acted as Angiviller’s intermediary to purchase works for the Louvre. A fine copy, with important provenance information. With the uncommon three leaves of vacations at end. Stamp of the Bibliothèque Heim on verso of title. ❧ Lugt 3221. Blanc, Le Trésor de la Curiosité, Vol. II, pp. 40-44. JoLynn Edwards, Alexandre Joseph Paillet: Expert et marchand de tableaux à la fin du XVIIIe siècle (1996), pp. 239-40.

Title: Salt Lake
Author: Benoit, Pierre (translated from the French by Florence and Victor Llona)
Seller: ReadInk (United States)
Condition: Good
Description: New York: Alfred A. Knopf. Good. 1922. 1st (U.S.) edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [solid enough book with binding intact, but should be considered a reading copy only due to external wear and bumping, an unsightly beverage-ring scar on the front cover (see scan), and internal tape repait to a page that had been ripped in half]. Uncommon novel, originally published in France in 1921. It's "historical fiction" in a sense, but as the New York Times described it in 1922, "it is not a history of Salt Lake City as occupied by the Mormons so much as the story of the mental and physical anguish of a young widow who is unsuspectingly drawn into marriage with a Mormon and finds herself the second wife -- one of three wives, and perhaps others." A stage adaptation was presented in Paris in 1926, about which the Times correspondent commented that the playwright "obviously knows very little about Utah and the history of the Mormons and Mormonism and was forced to rely entirely upon Pierre Benoit, who also unfortunately knows very little concerning them, a fact which did not prevent his novel from obtaining immense popularity in France." (Nor did it prevent Benoit, whose best-known work is probably "L'Atlantide" (1919), from becoming a member of the Académie française in 1931.) .
