Title: LA VIE ET LES AVANTURES DE ROBINSON CRUSOË
Author: (BINDINGS - SIMIER). DEFOE, DANIEL
Seller: Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description: Paris: Chez la Veuve Panckoucke, An 8 [1799-1800]. 232 x 148 mm. (9 1/8 x 5 7/8"). Three volumes. Translated by Themiseuil de Saint-Hyacinthe and J. Van Effen, revised and corrected according to the Stockdale edition of 1790. With a life of the author by A.-G. Labaume. SPLENDID INDIGO STRAIGHT-GRAIN MOROCCO, GILT, BY SIMIER (vol. I stamp-signed in gilt at foot of spine), covers with elegant botanical frame, raised bands, compartments with quatrefoil centerpiece radiating floral tools on a densely stippled ground, gilt lettering, turn-ins with cresting roll, red watered silk endleaves, all edges gilt. With portrait frontispiece in volume I, three engraved title pages with vignettes, a folding map of Crusoe's voyage, and 15 plates after Stothard engraved by Delvaux, Delignon, and Dupréel, all before letters, with original tissue guards. A Large Paper Copy. Front flyleaves of volume I with orange morocco bookplate of Henri Beraldi, engraved armorial bookplates of Merlin d'Estreux de Beaugrenier, ex-libris of Arnaud Leenhardt, bookplate of R. C. G. de Pixerécourt, and armorial bookplate of Alexis de Redé. Cohen-de Ricci 406 (recording 18 engravings); Brunet II, 566 (calling for 16 engravings); Blewett, The Illustration of Robinson Crusoe (1996); Reynaud, "Notes supplementaires sur les livres a gravures du XVIIIe siecle," 188. ◆Isolated spots of foxing or minor marginal stains, but A CHOICE COPY, fresh and clean internally, the plates in fine condition, and THE SPARKLING BINDINGS ENTIRELY UNWORN. Printed on Large Paper and with all plates before letters, this is an outstanding copy of Defoe's beloved masterpiece in a French edition praised by Brunet and Cohen-de Ricci for its beauty, and enhanced here by an elegant binding from one the three great French binders of the Empire and Restoration periods; what's more, the volume's considerable desirablility is affirmed by an impeccable provenance. The illustrations here are based on those of the prominent English artist Thomas Stothard which appeared in the 1790 edition published by John Stockdale. Blewett says the Stothard images represent "the first pictorial treatment of Robinson Crusoe as a progress," from frightened young castaway to an industrious, resourceful, resilient man. The plates were re-engraved for this edition, and supplemented with a map and a portrait of the author. The binder of this set was praised by our former owner Henri Beraldi (see below) for binding books "with extreme magnificence." Beraldi hailed Simier's work ethic and declared that he surpassed "all the most beautiful things the English [binders] have done." Like Beraldi, Ramsden considered René Simier (1772-1843) one of the three great French binders of the Empire and Restoration periods (Thouvenin and Purgold are the others). From 1809-12 he was apparently binder to the Empress Marie Louise, and in 1826 he and his son, Alphonse (who carried on the family business), were listed in the Almanachs as "Binders to the King, Madame, and the Duc de Bordeaux." Simier's "variety and technique were superb; he had no superior and few rivals during his career." And his range was unequaled: "there appears to [have been] no style, old or new, of which he could not make himself an easy and competent master." (Ramsden) The earliest owner of our set was the playwright and theater director René-Charles Guilbert de Pixerécourt (1773-1844), whose Paris production of Robinson Crusoe ran for the whole year of 1805. Later owner Henri Beraldi (1849-1931) was perhaps the most distinguished and knowledgeable writer on French bindings of the 19th century. His collection of French illustrated books and French bindings was considered to be among the very best in the world. The outstanding condition here reflects the exquisite condition that characterized Beraldi's library. In the 20th century, this superb set attracted the very discerning eye of Baron Alexis de Redé (1922-2004), considered one of the century's greatest aesthetes. In addition to his talent for interior design (displayed in his painstaking restoration of the 17th century Hôtel Lambert, for which he was named a Commandeur in the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres) and for banking (he successfully managed the funds of the Rolling Stones), Redé was a prominent Parisian socialite known for his opulent galas and acquisition of beautiful objects. He was quoted as saying "All I want is the best of everything, and there's very little of that left." The 2005 sale of his collections at Sotheby's included 18th century French furniture, art, porcelain, glass, and the productions of silversmiths and goldsmiths in addition to fine books, realizing, in all, €5.1 million ($6.8 million)..

Title: Three Letters from Frederick MacMonnies to Thomas Dewing Concerning Sculpting the Players’ Club’s Edwin Booth Monument
Author: [Art History – New York City – Theater] MacMonnies, Frederick
Seller: Auger Down Books (United States)
Condition: Overall excellent.
Description: France, 1910. Three letters totaling twenty-two pages, 5 x 8 inches and smaller. Folded; some with large tears at folds though entirely legible. Overall excellent.. Frederick MacMonnies (1863–1937) was an American expatriate sculptor and painter, known in the US for works including Nathan Hale and Bacchante and Infant Faun. In 1907, New York City’s Player’s Club commissioned MacMonnies to design and produce a monument to the club’s founder, Edwin Booth. Offered here are three letters from MacMonnies to Players Club member and fellow visual artist Thomas W. Dewing (1850–1938) following the commission. MacMonnies seemed to have been under extraordinary emotional stress, writing that he was returning to France as “New York had played on my nerves” (N.d.) and, later, that: “I have been in a collapsed state for about seven months, a sort of nervous prostration, and blue and desperate. You cannot imagine the pleasure your letter gave me, as one of the symptoms of the disease I have is in thinking nobody cares a [?] about you and an utter disbelief in any work you have ever done.” (January 30, 1910) Later news from Dewing would not be so soothing to MacMonnies, as it reached the sculptor that the Players Club had some reservations about his design for the Booth memorial. MacMonnies’ May letter is worth quoting at length, as he justifies his design choices and critiques trends in statuary: “I was sorry & very much surprised to hear you did not like my design for the Booth Memorial, for I have & always have had such implicit confidence & admiration for your taste that I thought there must be something wrong with me & a screw loose somewhere. “I had been highly elated over the design from the first – after making about 75 sketches & going over thoroughly the usual statue & pendant figure on pedestal ‘cliches’, which I think has been the cause of many rotten monuments all over the world [...] really the Moliere Fountain in Paris is a good type of that sort of thing – Moliere seated above & the tragedy & comedy neatly draped over the pedestal; having apparently walked or climbed up on the base & fitted their respective symbols into the mouldings still held in their hands with elbows uncomfortably resting on the base of the statue above. This ‘cliche’ has been used since in every ingeniously idiotic nouveaute in modern European monuments [...] “To avoid this sort of thing naturally was simple & easy, but to find something that would be refeshing, new & suggestive of the Theatre, and be an actors’ monument, instead of a General’s or Statesman’s & be as appropriately suggestive of the Theatre as a General’s monument should be of the battlefield. “I found great difficulty as I say in designing a new type of monument which would only be used in connection with an actor or playwright. [...] I tried to incorporate into my design the great point in the Medici Chapel tombs & of all good architectural figures, which is to inseparably connect the figures with the architecture, & to avoid the clock cliche, of figures appearing to have stopped in passing. [...] “No one knows more about this my dear Dewing than yourself – your work has always had richness & simplicity, dignity, & all the rest, but they are never barren or bald [...] What might naturally appear overloaded or over enriched or complicated in a preliminary sketch in sculpture may in the finished production, appear clear & simple & yet be even more complex than the sketch [...] “The design I have made is in my friends’ opinions here the best thing I have done (several distinguished architects & sculptors to whom I showed it warmly approved), & I am desperately sickened at the thought of having it fall into the list of things not done. I am hoping that in the hurly burly of New York life & your many interests you have not had the time to give the design much attention, and that my long explanation of what I have tried to do & hope to do with it may induce you to look into the matter again.” (May 28, 1910) In 1913, MacMonnies would resign the commission, unable to come to an agreement with the Club over the design.[1] [1] “MacMonnies Quits Booth Memorial; Tells Friends He Has Had Too Much Trouble with the Committee”, The New York Times, July 8, 1913, 6.
