Enguerrand de Monstrelet "was a member of a noble family of Picardy, remembered for his chronicle of the final stages of the Hundred Years' War. His chronicle is valuable because of the many authentic documents used and the credibly accurate speeches it records. Monstrelet was in the service of John of Luxembourg, who besieged Compiègne before Joan of Arc's capture; and, though he did not see Joan captured, he witnessed her later interview with Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy. Monstrelet's chronicle, in two books, continues that of Jean Froissart and covers the years 1400-44." (Brittanica). "Enguerrand de Monstrelet was from a noble family, and was probably born in the late thirteenth century. He followed a military career and may have been Enguerrand mentioned as the captain of the count of Saint-Pol in 1422. He retired to Cambrai in 1436 and died in 1453. He was an active participant in the last phase of the Hundred Years War. This phase of the war began after the death of King Charles VI in 1422... Throughout the Hundred Years war and the Burgundian attempt at independence, historians participated on both sides. de Monstrelet wrote on the Burgundian side, as did Thomas Basin, while Matthew d'Escouchy wrote on the French side. However, de Monstrelet began his chronicle in 1399, where an earlier French chronicler, Jean Froissart, ended his account, and d'Escouchy picked up from de Monstrelet. Therefore, although historians wrote propaganda for one side, they were acutely aware of what the other side was producing. De Monstrelet was highly successful as a historian; there are many manuscripts of his work and his history was printed very early in the history of printing." (jeanne-darc [dot] info). Preceded by two editions by Antoine Verard, in 1500 and 1508. USTC 1022 HBS 69263. $10,000.

This being number 35. Large folio (21 3/4 x 17 3/8 inches; 555 x 440 mm). With 17 original lithographs by Willem de Kooning. With publisher's prospectus.

Box with a black leather spine label, lettered in gilt. A fine copy. "The Museum of Modern Art honored Frank O'Hara with a memorial edition of his poetry illustrated by artists who knew and loved him-foremost among them, William de Kooning. De Kooning made his drawings on mylar which he then presented to the Museum. A quarter of a century later, the mylar drawings were transferred to lithographic plates and printed under the supervision of the artist and the Museum of Modern Art solely in order to illustrate the Club's edition of those O'Hara poems that had so moved de Kooning. Seventeen of de Kooning's eighteen charcoal drawings are reproduced here for the first time as originally intended-with their subtle strokes and wide tonal range. De Kooning's drawings were transferred from their original mylar sheets to lithographic plates and printed on hand--made ochre?tinted Kitakata paper. Each print was torn by hand and pressed into the book's pages by the intaglio method." (From the publisher). LEC Bibliography. HBS 69340. $2,750.
