Description
Paris: Editions de l'Ibis, 1925. Full Description: SAUDÉ, Jean. Traité d'Enluminure d'Art au Pochoir. Prédédé de notes par MM. Antoine Bourdelle, Lucien Descaves...et S E M. Aquarelles de Beauzée-Reynaud, Benedictus, Bourdelle, Brunetta, L. Chapuis, Dorival, Abel Faivre, Halouze, Lepape, Madelaine, Morisset, Rodin, S E M et Vignal. Reproductions d'après Jean Fouquet, A. Besnard, Image de Georgin. Paris: Aux Éditions de l'Ibis, 1925. First edition. One of 500 numbered copies, this being number 464 signed by Saudé. Folio (12 7/8 x 9 7/8 inches; 328 x 251 mm.). [6], xxv, [1, blank], 74, [6] pp. With twenty pochoir plates (numbered I-XX), two of which are in two states, one in three states, and two in four states. One of the four states is lacking from the Roses. So as it should be 20 pochoir plates in 30 states, present copy is 20 pochoir plates in 29 states. With twelve pochoir vignettes of various scenes and fourteen line illustrations of the mechanics of making pochoir. Additionally with pochoir illustrations on front and back cover of portfolio, endpapers and publisher's box. Loose, as issued, in the publisher's quarter blue cloth over blue board portfolio with pochoir illustration by Benedictus on the front cover and a pochoir illustration by L. Chapuis on the rear cover. Endpapers are also pochoir by Chapuis. Front cover and spine lettered in gilt. Front board a bit rubbed rubbed, but not affecting the image. In the original pochoir slipcase. Slipcase with a small amount of chipping. Overall, a crisp, clean copy of this seminal work on the technique and importance of pochoir illustration. "Between the World Wars the French took this ordinary craft [stencilling] and raised it to a high art, notably in the livres d'artistes movement. Used for making coloring illustrations, the stencil process (pochoir in French) brought brilliance to illustrated books never seen before and very little since. Stencilling is labor intensive; colors are applied by hand and, as with many handcrafts, went out of use by the beginning of World War Two. Jean Saudé, most influential in the development of pochoir into an art, and author of Traite d'Enluminure d'Art au Pochoir, Paris, 1925, believed that the technique could serve as a hyphen between the artist and the public, and proclaimed that pochoir through its dependence on manual application in the reproduction process made possible true art instead of altered reproductions. Saude believed that pochoir was the only process which translated the artist's original intent from the first to the last print because it was done entirely by hand" (V. Gerry, Stencilling). Saudé specialized in finely illustrated books and collector's pieces but this book is his greatest legacy. It was the only contemporary book on the mechanics of pochoir and remains its finest example. HBS 69144. $3,500.

Description
Territet & Montreux,: 1898-1910., 1898. A look into the turn-of-the-century activities of a major hotel and the registers for recording guests from 1898-1910. These registers offer a primary resource to study the activities of the Hotel des Alpes & Grand Hotel, Territet & Montreux. FIVE ALBUMS: [1] Hotel des Alpes & Grand Hotel. Livre des Etrangers. Approx. 26x37 cm. Unpaginated. Original quarter calf, maroon gilt-stamped boards. This is an alphabetical register of guests, showing the room number, date of arrival, the guest names, home city, number of persons in the party (usually 1 or 2). Written in a clerk's hand. As one might expect, the list of guests shows largely European origins, but other guests originate from as far away at Bombay and the U.S.A. [2] Livres d'arrivees. Album dated 1904. Approx. 31x41 cm. 600 pp. Brown linen. Manuscript entries from pages 1-397. The entries are dated 1905-1908 and are chronological. Again, the main information here is last names and cities of origin, as is usual. There is an accounting of the number of guests allowing a statistical analysis of the guest list. [3] Grand Hotel Territet, arrivees. Approx. 26x36 cm. Unpaginated. Black cloth. Inset red leather title label stamped in gilt. Contains manuscript entries throughout, from 1898 through 1901. The first names written in the ledger are: L. A. le Naharadja, Kapurlhala (India), Colonel Marshall (India), Dewan Daolet Ram (India). Dr. Louis Huysmans (1844-1915), Bruxelles, was a guest on Sept. 4, 1898. [Louis Huysmans was best known for his loyalty to the monarchy and his patriotism. After the outbreak of the First World War, he went into exile with his relatives in France and lived in the seaside resort of Sainte-Adresse, the seat of the Belgian government in exile.] [4] Grand Hotel Territet, Livre des Etrangers. Approx. 31x44 cm. Unpaginated. Bound in ledger format, leather applied to the upper and lower parts of the binding, maroon gilt-stamped cover label, pale brown (tan) cloth over boards. Filled with entries in the first 1/3 of the tome. Shop label of Papeterie Librairie Chs. Serex, Vevey. Entries date from August 25, 1905 through September 22, 1909. Clerk hand. Shows names & cities for each entry. [5] Journal. 1904-1910. Approx. 34x47 cm. Shop label of [Papeterie Librairie] Chs. Serex, Vevey. Foliated: 397 ff. Black (or dark brown) cloth, red cloth gilt-stamped cover label; edges worn, front joint mended with kozo. Internally very good. This is, perhaps, the most interesting of the registers. This particular one is unique among the five registers as this one details the operation of the hotel itself, who they hired and/or what was supplied. Categories shown include: Cuisine (kitchen) ["Chocolat Peter" etc., Cave (wine: "G. Masson", "Beauregard" [wine], "Eaux de Montreux", "Blanchot" [white wine], "Gallo"), accounting/tax/ new constructions/ lighting [eclairage], heating [chauffage], building maintenance [entretien immeubles], New York Herald [reclamer], laundry room [buanderie], etc. / General Notes Regarding the History of this Hotel: The Hotel des Alpes-Grand Hotel or Residence des Alpes is an assemblage of buildings which formed a former palace in the town of Territet in the Montreux municipality of Switzerland. In 1840 the town bought a parcel of land on which to build a hostel entitled 'Chasseur des Alpes'. Over the following years this hostel was enlarged three times to become - in 1855 - the Hotel des Alpes. The main building was designed by Henri Chessex, son of the owner and brother of Ami Chessex. The opening of the Hotel led to a tourist boom and in 1861 a railway line was opened between Montreux and Villeneuve, calling at Territet. In 1875 a dining hall was added to the building and two years later Ami Chessex chose the architect Louis Maillard (later joined by Eugene Jost) to build the Grand Hotel beside the Hotel des Alpes. The decor was by Marcel de Chollet. The two buildings were linked by a corridor and soon formed a single structure. / Among the Hotel's many notable guests were Elisabeth of Bavaria, who visited four times, and Francis Joseph I of Austria in 1893. The Hotel built on this success, housing the first telephone in Switzerland. In 1975 it closed and its main hall and dining hall were turned into a theatre, whilst the Grand Hotel's bedrooms became the National Swiss Audiovisual Museum, though this closed in 2008 and left the premises in 2012 to allow for their renovation. The two buildings are classed as cultural monuments. It suffered fires on 29 January 1984 and 28 September 2012. / This property is part of the ensemble Hetel des Alpes-Grand Hotel, a monument of national importance. It belongs to Andre Regne, better known under the pseudonym of "Dad", who was a key figure in the Montreux nightlife. The Alcazar, a true Belle-Epoque jewel, was built by the architect Eugene Jost at the end of the 19th century. Added pictures on request.

Les categories presentees comprennent : Cuisine ["Chocolat Peter" etc., Cave (vin : "G. Masson", "Beauregard", "Eaux de Montreux", "Blanchot", "Gallo"), comptabilite/taxe/ nouvelles constructions/ eclairage, chauffage, entretien immeubles, New York Herald, buanderie, etc. / Notes generales sur l'histoire de cet hotel : L'Hotel des Alpes-Grand Hotel ou Residence des Alpes est un ensemble de bâtiments qui formaient un ancien palais dans la ville de Territet sur la commune de Montreux en Suisse. / En 1840, la ville achete une parcelle de terrain pour y construire une auberge intitulee "Chasseur des Alpes". Au cours des annees suivantes, cette auberge a ete agrandie a trois reprises pour devenir, en 1855, l'Hotel des Alpes. Le bâtiment principal est conçu par Henri Chessex, fils du proprietaire et frere d'Ami Chessex. L'ouverture de l'Hotel entraîne un boom touristique et, en 1861, une ligne de chemin de fer est ouverte entre Montreux et Villeneuve, avec arrêt a Territet. En 1875, un refectoire est ajoute au bâtiment et deux ans plus tard, Ami Chessex choisit l'architecte Louis Maillard (rejoint plus tard par Eugene Jost) pour construire le Grand Hotel a cote de l'Hotel des Alpes.

London, 1705. (Censorship). (Church of England). A Representation Made by the Lower House of Convocation to the Archbishops and Bishops... Showing the Diligence of the Lower, and Remissnes of the Upper-House in Suppressing Books Published Against the Truth of Christianity... London, Printed in the Year 1705. 4to. 8pp., neatly disbound. Very good. A plea for censorship singling out John Toland's "Christianity not Mysterious" (1696), a "bible" of freethought which was prosecuted in London and burned in Dublin, and is here deemed "pernicious, dangerous, scandalous, and destructive of the Christian faith... We.. repeat that request... that you... use your interest in Parliament for the passing a bill against the licentiousness of the press." The "representation," dated December, 1704, is not to be confused with another "representation" of April 1703 published in 1704. Both, however, reflect the "acrimonious controversy as to the rights and powers of convocation which raged at that period... "--DNB under Edmund Gibson. ESTC and OCLC list two U.S. holdings (UCLA, SIU) of this, and three (CTY, TxU, DFo) of a 7-page London edition. Not in McCoy (1968) but at SIU.
