    Émile Berchmans (1867-1947) wass a Belgian painter, designer, illustrator and engraver. He was above all one of the main Belgian poster artists at the turn of the 20th century. Rodolphe de Warsage (The pseudonym of Edmond Schoonbroodt) (1876-1940) was Liège lawyer and author of novels, poetry, stories and plays.

    . Première édition. Un bel exemplaire de ce rare ouvrage illustré pour enfants. Une relecture du conte de Tom Pouce. Couvertures souples, avec une belle illustration peinte à la main sur la couverture, rehaussée de peinture dorée sur les feuilles. Les couvertures sont légèrement assombries et le coin de la couverture arrière est plissé. Le papier à l'intérieur est un peu noirci et cassant, les coins des premières pages sont abîmés. Le titre est particulièrement noirci. Vignette colorée à la main sur le titre. Dix jolies illustrations en couleur sur un papier de meilleure qualité. Elles semblent avoir été coloriées à la main, mais il est possible qu'il s'agisse d'une impression de haute qualité. Il y a des vignettes tout au long du livre avec des détails bleus ajoutés à la main. Une page a subi d'importantes déchirures. Ces déchirures ont été réparées avec du ruban adhésif d'archivage (voir photographie). Dans l'ensemble, il s'agit d'un objet délicat mais rare. Nous n'avons pas été en mesure de localiser d'autres exemplaires de ce livre. Aucun n'est en vente, aucun n'est répertorié dans WorldCat, aucun n'a été vendu aux enchères. Nous avons juste trouvé une mention de l'ouvrage dans les entrées wikipedia de l'auteur et de l'illustrateur. 76 (+ planches) pages. 31cm x 21.5cm.

This has deteriorated over the years, but has recently been restored, with a new spine and casing, the original front board has been laid onto the front board. Modern gilt titles to the spine. New end papers. The different artists of these sheets had great freedom in their design, the layout was predetermined in these cases. Usually a couple was depicted in typical fashion and costume without overlap. Hairstyle, jewellery and clothing were recreated in great detail by various artists by studying tombs, mosaics, frescoes and paintings. 350 by 225mm (13¾ by 8¾ inches).

    . Une belle collection de 60 feuilles d'histoire du costume des années 1880. Chaque feuille est une double page (reliée aux charnières de la reliure). Les feuilles présentent chacune 4 couples de costumes historiques, colorés à la main et numérotés sur chaque feuille. Les feuilles sont propres, mais présentent un léger assombrissement. L'ensemble est relié comme une reliure de prix d'une "Nuttige en Beeldende Kunsten" (école des arts visuels) de Den Bosch pour 1887/8. Cette reliure s'est détériorée au fil des ans, mais elle a été récemment restaurée, avec un nouveau dos et une nouvelle couverture, la première planche d'origine ayant été posée sur la première planche. Titres dorés modernes au dos. Nouveaux papiers de garde. Les différents artistes de ces feuilles avaient une grande liberté dans leur conception, la mise en page étant prédéterminée dans ces cas. En général, un couple est représenté dans une mode et un costume typiques, sans chevauchement. La coiffure, les bijoux et les vêtements ont été recréés dans les moindres détails par divers artistes en étudiant des tombes, des mosaïques, des fresques et des peintures. 350 x 225 mm (13¾ x 8¾ pouces).
