VERLAINE PAUL (1844-1896)
Parallel. Original lithographs by PIERRE BONNARD.
Paris, Imprimerie nationale, Ambroise Vollard, 1900. In-4, bright pink morocco, boards and spine (without nerves) entirely covered with gilt tendrils and aristoloches with small mosaic leaves in pearl-grey box set with palladium| pearl-grey antelope lining and endpapers bordered with cream morocco, edges gilt on witnesses, cover and spine preserved Paul Bonet. 1954.
Edition at 200 copies, this one numbered on Hollande illustrated with 107 original lithographs outside and in the text.
This copy on vellum is identical to the one Vollard composed for himself. Vollard preferred a copy printed on this beautiful Hollande vellum
Van Gelder, whose fine grain and whiteness give the fragile delicacies of the pink lithographs the best effect.
Handwritten note by Dr. Roudinesco on the first page of this copy.
"Exceptional copy containing both covers: 1° with the vignette of the national printing house (very rare)| 2° with the woodcut vignette:
- The two titles, idem|
- The frontispiece (replacing the special authorization of the Garde des Sceaux)|
- Thirty-five lithographs printed on vellum in sanguine, of which nine lithographs refused (rare)|
- Pen drawing by P. Bonnard and the woodcut by T. Beltrand after this drawing, which was not used in the book.
- Small suite of fifteen lithographs from the book printed separately on chine in sanguine|
- Woodcut by T. Beltrand after Bonnard (not used in the book)|
- Suite of 77 lithographs printed separately on chine in black This incomplete suite (77 plates out of 107) was only printed in two copies.
Both suites are incomplete. One exists in the Vollard collection (also includes 77 plates), the other is bound in the present copy. It was given to me by Vollard from whom I have this information|
- The illustrated prospectus (very rare)."
These two copies, that of Vollard and that of Dr. Roudinesco, are notoriously known as the two most valuable that can be encountered. Nicolas Rauch mentions them (les peintres et le livre, n°21) -
not without some collation inaccuracies.
Ex-libris of Doctor Roudinesco.
An exceptional copy, superbly bound by Paul Bonet, of Pierre Bonnard's masterpiece.
