Half Morocco. Cloth boards. Condizione: Near Fine. First Edition. A great overview of Art Nouveau design contemporaneous with the heyday of the style, and with designers such as Rene Lalique, Mucha, Georges Fouquet, Eugene Grasset, Boutet de Monvel, Georges de Feure, Charles MacIntosh, and a slew of women designers -- one might be surprised at how many women were among the ranks of recognized designers in the style. Was it a bias, though, that these women are not among the most recognizable names to us, as admittedly non-jewelry experts? Sections cover French, British, Austrian German, Belgian and Danish designs -- each nation is treated separately, in its own chapter, notwithstanding the international nature of the Art Nouveau style that didn't necessarily conform to national boundaries in how it was expressed. 4to. 29 by 22 cm. 123 plates, of which 17 are full color. Color prints are sometimes mounted, other times, on a glossy paper different from the rest of the leaves. The book has a complicated pagination and plate count, with each article beginning the pagination anew, and a few plate numbers skipped, but we believe the work is complete. So here is our pagination, admittedly eccentric in its rendering, as is the actual pagination of the book: 6, 7, [1], 36 plates, 4 of which are in color; 10, numbered plates up to 52, 11 of which are in color, but no Plate 1, and a second series of plates numbered up to 8; 4,1 color plate; 8, 8 plates, one of which is in color; 4, plates numbered 2 to 9 (we believe there wasn't a Plate 1); 3, [1], 8 plates. Green morocco spine with raised bands and gilt decoration and gilt lettering for title, etc. Without ads of the original issue. Some foxing of the early text leaves, including the title, but typical of the paper stock used by the Studio in its book publications. Otherwise, tight, clean -- a beautiful copy.…

soft cover. Condizione: very good. first edition. In-8 broché. La Revue indépendante est une revue de littérature et d'art, publiée entre 1884 et 1897, et qui devient progressivement la tribune la plus importante des symbolistes. Georges Chevrier fonde, en 1884, la revue avec Félix Fénéon comme rédacteur en chef. Il donne une impulsion naturaliste à la revue avec des publications d'auteurs tel qu'Huysmans. Félix Fénéon est à l'origine d'une vingtaine de revues symbolistes et anarchiques, dont la Revue Indépendante. Il est destitué par Edouard Dujardin, qui a fondé la Revue Wagnérienne et dont il s'inspire pour le contenu de la Revue Indépendante. Se succèdent à la rédaction de nombreuses personnes dont François de Nion, Jean Ajalbert ou encore Georges Bonnamour, chacun apportant une dimension nouvelle à la revue.…
