Description
Four measures containing the theme of the closing of the first scene of the composer's Danse Russe. Notated, unbarred, on dark ivory music paper in blue ink, signed and dated Hollywood 23 January 1966. On an album leaf 141 x 199, laid down to backing board. Small hole to blank upper margin; two light vertical creases. Petrushka, a ballet in 4 scenes with music by Stravinsky, choreography by Michel Fokine, and set and costume designs by Alexandre Benois, was written for the 1911 season of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes and first performed in Paris at the Châtelet on 13 June 1911. The premiere was conducted by Pierre Monteux, with Vaslav Nijinsky as Petrushka, Tamar Karsavina as lead ballerina, and Enrico Cecchetti as the charlatan. The work became one of the most popular productions of the revolutionary Ballets Russes and one of Stravinsky's best-loved compositions.

Description
Three engraved plates. viii, 53 pp., [3] pages of schedule of sale. 8vo (201 x 125 mm.), gray modern cloth-backed marbled boards, title on spine. Paris: Delaroche, Billaudel & Balbastre, 1813. A scarce example of an illustrated sale catalogue from the period, it contains three nicely engraved plates of works by Murillo, de Morales, and Rubens (most copies lack the plates). Lugt erroneously records the seller as “Billaudet.” The RKD copy has an inscription on the title-page linking the contents of the sale to Billaudel, whose name, curiously, is also found in the imprint. Billaudel concurrently operated as a dealer and painter, and it seems that he used this sale to sell off some of his stock and consignments. The catalogue describes 110 lots of paintings, drawings, sculptures, furniture, and curiosities. It includes works by N. Berghem, C. Dusart, Flinck, C. Poelenburgh, A. Pynacker, Rubens, J. Ruysdael, Rottenhamer, Veronese, C. Vernet, etc., etc. The majority of the lots are thoroughly described, providing measurements and technical notes. The de Morales is a painting of Christ, and the description compares the painter’s abilities to those of da Vinci and Correggio. The bound-in engravings were done by Jacques Noël Marie Frémy (1782-1867), a pupil of J. B. Regnault and David. A nice copy with some minor dampstaining to the outer margins, the gutter, and touching the plates. With the rare three-page schedule of sale bound-in at the end. Ink ownership inscription of Marcel Nicolle (1871-1934), curator at the Louvre and critic, on the title-page, and stamp of the Bibliothèque Heim on verso of title. ❧ Lugt 8335. Benezit Dictionary of Artists, Vol. 5, p. 1064.

Description
1 p.l., ii, 34 pp. 8vo (213 x 136 mm.), late 19th-cent. marbled boards, leather lettering-piece on spine. Paris: Lacoste & Pérignon, 1817. A very scarce sale catalogue dispersing paintings, drawings, and curiosities from the collection and inventory of Pérignon (1785-1864), the dealer, collector, and advisor to the Louvre. Pérignon was one of the eminent dealers to succeed Lebrun and Paillet after their deaths. The first recorded sale for which he was the expert took place in December 1813 (Lugt 8456). He went on to administer the important auctions of Hubert Robert’s widow, Girodet, Dominique-Vivant Denon, and two for Jacques Louis David. The Louvre named Pérignon commissaire-expert to the Musées royaux in 1816, an influential post in which he was responsible for recommending purchases. The present auction was one of several Pérignon employed to sell portions of his stock. The British Library’s copy of this catalogue bears an inscription indicating that other art dealers, such as Lafontaine, Henry, and Ch. Paillet, had consigned a few lots. The catalogue describes 165 lots, including the work of Lucas Cranach, Demarne, H. Fragonard, Greuze, G. Poussin, Guercino, Dujardin, Vigée Lebrun, Mengs, Miel, Mola, A. van Ostade, Raphael, Steen, D. Teniers, P. & Ph. Wouwerman, etc., etc. Most of the pictures are described at length, and each entry provides measurements. Lots 119-129 comprise of drawings, prints, and medallions; the final lots consist of sculpture, ceramics, porcelain, ornate clocks, and furniture. A nice copy of a rare catalogue. We find a primitive architectural pencil sketch, possibly contemporary, on the rear free endpaper verso. With the engraved bookplate of G[eorges] P[annier] (1853-1944), the Parisian art dealer and collector of early art auction catalogues, on the front paste-down; the stamp of the Bibliothèque Heim on verso of title; and the stamp of Louis Soullié (1860-1940), the pre-eminent dealer of auction catalogues, whose shop was located at 25, rue de Lille in Paris, on the recto of the rear free endpaper. ❧ Lugt 9256. For an instructive examination of Pérignon’s life see Laurence Lhinares, “Alexis-Nicolas Pérignon (1785-1864), peintre, expert, marchand et collectionneur,” in La revue des musées de France, Revue du Louvre, no. 5, 2013.
