There is a curious vandalism to the title page and dedication page. An early owner has crossed out the name of Le Duc du Maine, who the book was dedicated to, and has coloured in portions of the Duc's crest. In the same ink is written "La livre ma coute 15 denier" (my book which cost 15 denier). To the following page (the dedication) again the Duc's crest has been defaced, along with his name, and several of the titles which pertained to him. The Duc was the legitimised son of Louis XIV, but despite this, was disliked by many who still considered him a bastard. The boards and spine are clean, A little bumping to the head and tail of the spine, with a touch of the cover rubbed. Inside, the book and plates are clean and tidy other than the sabotage to the Duc! Belidor (1698 - 1761) was a Frenchman born in Catalonia, an artillery professor at La Fère, whose work on artillery, engineering and hydraulics was widely disseminated in the 18th century. (24),560,(32) pp. 250 x 200 mm (9¾ x 7¾ inches). Reliure plein cuir de l'époque, avec six nerfs au dos. Cinq panneaux décorés d'appareils dorés, et le 6ème d'une étiquette bordeaux et dorée. Feuilles de garde marbrées. Complet avec 34 assiettes pliantes. Il y a un curieux vandalisme sur la page de titre et la page de dédicace. Un ancien propriétaire a barré le nom du Duc du Maine, auquel le livre était dédié, et a colorié certaines parties de l'écusson du Duc. Dans la même encre est écrit « La livre ma coute 15 deniers » (mon livre qui coûtait 15 deniers). À la page suivante (la dédicace), l'écusson du duc a encore été effacé, ainsi que son nom et plusieurs des titres qui le concernaient. Le duc était le fils légitimé de Louis XIV, mais malgré cela, il était détesté par beaucoup qui le considéraient encore comme un bâtard. Les plats et le dos sont propres, Un petit choc en tête et en queue du dos, avec une touche de la couverture frottée. A l'intérieur, le livre et les planches sont propres et bien rangés à part le sabotage du Duc ! Belidor (1698 - 1761) était un Français né en Catalogne, professeur d'artillerie à La Fère, dont les travaux sur l'artillerie, l'ingénierie et l'hydraulique ont été largement diffusés au XVIIIe siècle.

    LESUR, Henri Victor.
    Scottish Parade in Paris July 1918

    Paris: N/P. A skilfully executed ink and coloured sketch done by Lesur in July 1918. This is a tricky sketch to place, and there are two options. Firstly - the date the artist has written is correct, and this is showing a Bastille Day parade on the 14th July 1918. This is certainly possible, as there were significant celebrations that day in Paris, but with the war still a long way from being won, the focus was on patriotic support rather than military parades. It is unlikely that Scottish regiments were parading in Paris on this day, as they were preparing for the Marne offensive, which occurred a week later. The other alternative, is that this sketch is commemorating…

    Paris: N/P. A skilfully executed ink and coloured sketch done by Lesur in July 1918. This is a tricky sketch to place, and there are two options. Firstly - the date the artist has written is correct, and this is showing a Bastille Day parade on the 14th July 1918. This is certainly possible, as there were significant celebrations that day in Paris, but with the war still a long way from being won, the focus was on patriotic support rather than military parades. It is unlikely that Scottish regiments were parading in Paris on this day, as they were preparing for the Marne offensive, which occurred a week later. The other alternative, is that this sketch is commemorating the "fêtes de la Victoire" held on July 14th 1919 and that the artist has mis-dated the work. Scottish regiments certainly took part on this parade. The 15th (Scottish) Division and the 51st (Highland) Division were part of the British XXII Corps. Both stationed near to Paris and involved in the Marne offensive. Good, clean sketch on paper. The paper is slightly darkened, and there are a couple of light foxing spots. The colour is quite subtle, but present. A simple celebration of victory by a significant French artist. The frame is an ornate gilt frame, with glass. In very good condition, with a few bumps / nicks to the the frame only. Overall in very good condition. Sketch is 19cm x 26cm, Frame is 25cm x 31cm. Henri Victor Lesur (1863-1937), was a French artist born in Roubaix. Lesur trained at the École des Beaux-Arts and was a pupil of François Flameng. He was active in the French art scene, particularly towards the end of the 19th century, and exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon from 1887 to 1895. Lesur's work is characterized by elegant genre scenes and portraits, often inspired by the style of 18th-century French artists such as Watteau, Boucher, and Fragonard. Lesur's paintings often depicted scenes reminiscent of bygone luxury and playful Parisian society, created as a form of escapism for viewers and collectors. He continued to produce art until his death in 1937. Lesur's work is sometime signed as V. H. Lesur.

    . Une esquisse à l'encre et aux couleurs habilement exécutée par Lesur en juillet 1918. Cette esquisse est difficile à situer, et il y a deux possibilités. Premièrement, la date inscrite par l'artiste est correcte, et il s'agit d'un défilé du 14 juillet 1918, jour de la Bastille. C'est tout à fait possible, car des célébrations importantes ont eu lieu ce jour-là à Paris, mais la guerre étant encore loin d'être gagnée, l'accent a été mis sur le soutien patriotique plutôt que sur les défilés militaires. Il est peu probable que des régiments écossais aient défilé à Paris ce jour-là, car ils se préparaient à l'offensive de la Marne, qui a eu lieu une semaine plus tard. L'autre possibilité est que cette esquisse commémore les "fêtes de la Victoire" du 14 juillet 1919 et que l'artiste ait mal daté l'œuvre. Les régiments écossais ont certainement participé à ce défilé. La 15e division (écossaise) et la 51e division (Highland) faisaient partie du XXIIe corps britannique. Toutes deux étaient stationnées près de Paris et ont participé à l'offensive de la Marne. Bon croquis propre sur papier. Le papier est légèrement assombri et il y a quelques légères rousseurs. La couleur est assez subtile, mais présente. Une simple célébration de la victoire par un artiste français important. Le cadre est un cadre doré orné, avec verre. En très bon état, avec quelques bosses / entailles sur le cadre uniquement. L'ensemble est en très bon état. L'esquisse mesure 19 cm x 26 cm, le cadre 25 cm x 31 cm. Henri Victor Lesur (1863-1937) est un artiste français né à Roubaix. Lesur a été formé à l'École des Beaux-Arts et a été l'élève de François Flameng. Il est actif sur la scène artistique française, en particulier vers la fin du XIXe siècle, et expose régulièrement au Salon de Paris de 1887 à 1895. L'œuvre de Lesur se caractérise par des scènes de genre et des portraits élégants, souvent inspirés du style d'artistes français du XVIIIe siècle tels que Watteau, Boucher et Fragonard. Les tableaux de Lesur dépeignent souvent des scènes rappelant le luxe d'antan et la société parisienne enjouée, créés comme une forme d'évasion pour les spectateurs et les collectionneurs. Il a continué à produire des œuvres d'art jusqu'à sa mort en 1937. Les œuvres de Lesur sont parfois signées V. H. Lesur.

Of interest in this copy, is that it is covered in the Classified Adverts section of a 1945 German newspaper. The owner was clearly wanting to disguise this pre Nazi book after the war. Adverts include an American oil company seeking bomb disposal experts to work in Tripoli. A nice piece of ephemeral history. 176 pages. 255 by 190mm (10 by 7½ inches).

    . Première édition. Le deuxième recueil de Hanfstaengl de caricatures d'Hitler tirées de la presse mondiale. Il écrit dans l'introduction que ce recueil présente les caricatures depuis son entrée dans l'histoire politique jusqu'à aujourd'hui (1934), afin de "prouver son importance et de réfuter ses opposants". Il précise qu'il s'agit de "prouver son importance et de réfuter ses opposants". L'ouvrage a été écrit avec l'autorisation et l'approbation du Führer. Couverture cartonnée d'origine. L'ouvrage est un peu roussi, mais reste très présentable. Le bloc de texte est propre et bien rangé, avec un léger assombrissement des bords de page. L'intérêt de cet exemplaire est qu'il est couvert par la section des petites annonces d'un journal allemand de 1945. Le propriétaire souhaitait manifestement dissimuler ce livre pré-nazi après la guerre. Les annonces concernent notamment une compagnie pétrolière américaine à la recherche d'experts en déminage pour travailler à Tripoli. Un beau morceau d'histoire éphémère. 176 pages. 255 x 190 mm

    Berlin: Verlag Braune Bucher, 1934. A new edition of this work of caricature.
