Jean-Adrien Mercier (1899–1995) was a French illustrator, poster artist, and advertising designer. Born in Angers. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Angers and then at the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.

Between 1925 and 1942, he designed more than 120 cinema posters for films by renowned directors such as Jean Renoir, Abel Gance, and René Clair. He also created numerous commercial posters, notably for the Cointreau brand, linked to his family through his mother, who was the granddaughter of the company's founder. Mercier eventually became the artistic director of Cointreau. In the late 1930s, he started illustrating children's books and fairy tales. Kummel Cointreau was a type of liqueur flavoured with caraway or cumin seeds (cumin des prés).

This is part of the reason for our attribution, as Kunisada often portrayed both individual wrestlers, and groups of sumo wrestlers and wrestling schools. He also regularly published with Wakasaya Yoichi. A excelent example, there is a light crease to the bottom part of the print (which could probably be ironed out). The edges have fractional nicking, but overall is in very nice condition. 37cm x 25cm. A rare piece. We cannot find another example of this particular woodblock print.

    . Première édition. Un bel exemplaire de cette rare gravure sur bois. On pense qu'elle a été réalisée par Utagama Kunisada vers 1843. L'estampe, aux couleurs vives, montre un groupe de sept maîtres de sumo regardant de haut un groupe de lutteurs en train de se battre. Deux maîtres de sumo vêtus se tiennent également au milieu des élèves. Les élèves sont au nombre de 20. Les professeurs portent des noms dans des étiquettes à côté de chacun d'eux, et ce sont des personnages clairement reconnaissables. L'œuvre porte le sceau de l'éditeur Wakasaya Yoichi, un éminent éditeur de Tokyo qui a imprimé de nombreux artistes célèbres. C'est en partie la raison de notre attribution, car Kunisada a souvent représenté des lutteurs individuels, des groupes de lutteurs de sumo et des écoles de lutte. Il a également publié régulièrement avec Wakasaya Yoichi. Un excellent exemple, il y a un léger pli sur la partie inférieure de l'impression (qui pourrait probablement être repassé). Les bords sont légèrement entaillés, mais l'ensemble est en très bon état. 37cm x 25cm. Une pièce rare. Nous n'avons pas trouvé d'autre exemple de cette gravure sur bois.

    Den Haag: Uitgave Tiraha, C1937. First edition (assumed). A rare portfolio of portraits of composers by Menachem Birnbaum. Published by Uitgave Tiraha of Den Haag. A large green soft cover portfolio with a title label (including a small portrait of Beethoven) tipped onto the front cover. The covers are faded and marked to the edges, and with a little splitting to the spine, but still holding well. Inside are six sheets of stiff paper / light card (each a little darkened). The first has a title sheet in Dutch tipped onto the sheet. The other five have portraits of famous composers. These are Verdi, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Chopin. Each is signed in the plate by Birnbaum. The images are 24cm x 18cm. 36.5cm x 27cm. Menachem Birnbaum (1893–probably 1944/45) was an Austrian Jewish book illustrator and portrait painter. After the rise of the Nazis, Birnbaum emigrated to the Netherlands in 1933. In the spring of 1943, he was arrested by the Gestapo along with his family and deported on March 10, 1943, to a Nazi concentration camp—most likely Auschwitz. Birnbaum was last seen alive in Auschwitz in October 1944 by a Dutch Jewish survivor. We can find no record of this work anywhere, whether in worldcat, auction records or connected to Birnbaum's work. We have assumed the dating, as Uitgave Tiraha published a book of notable Jewish personalities illustrated by Birnbaum in 1937. We assume this is from a similar time. According to the fly leaf, there were plans for at least five further works in the series. We cannot find any of them and suspect that the Second World War intervened!

    . Première édition (supposée). Un rare portfolio de portraits de compositeurs par Menachem Birnbaum. Publié par Uitgave Tiraha de Den Haag. Un grand portfolio à couverture souple verte avec une étiquette de titre (comprenant un petit portrait de Beethoven) collée sur la couverture avant. Les couvertures sont décolorées et marquées sur les bords, et le dos est un peu fendu, mais elles tiennent encore bien. A l'intérieur se trouvent six feuilles de papier rigide / carton léger (chacune un peu assombrie). Le premier feuillet comporte une feuille de titre en néerlandais collée sur le feuillet. Les cinq autres présentent des portraits de compositeurs célèbres. Il s'agit de Verdi, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert et Chopin. Chaque portrait est signé dans la plaque par Birnbaum. Les images mesurent 24 cm x 18 cm. 36,5 cm x 27 cm. Menachem Birnbaum (1893-probablement 1944/45) était un illustrateur de livres et portraitiste juif autrichien. Après la montée du nazisme, Birnbaum émigre aux Pays-Bas en 1933. Au printemps 1943, il est arrêté par la Gestapo avec sa famille et déporté le 10 mars 1943 dans un camp de concentration nazi, probablement Auschwitz. Birnbaum a été vu vivant pour la dernière fois à Auschwitz en octobre 1944 par un survivant juif néerlandais. Nous n'avons trouvé aucune trace de cette œuvre nulle part, que ce soit dans Worldcat, dans les registres des ventes aux enchères ou en rapport avec l'œuvre de Birnbaum. Nous avons supposé la datation, car Uitgave Tiraha a publié un livre de personnalités juives notables illustré par Birnbaum en 1937. Nous supposons que cet ouvrage date d'une époque similaire.

    NP, C1935. First edition. An attractive coloured engraving of Quai Saint-Michel, in Paris, with the bouquinistes to the foreground, and Notre Dame in the background. A small dog is keeping an eye on proceedings. Signed by Le Riche to the bottom right of the print. labelled "Saint-Michel" to the bottom left of the sheet. This is a large engraving. The engraving itself is in good, clean and tidy condition. There are large margins, and these are darkened (particularly to the left edge). There is a little nicking to the edges. Blank and clean to the verso. engraved area is 32cm x 43cm; Sheet is 45cm x 64cm. Presented under loose Passepartout. Henri Le Riche (1868–1944), the French painter, engraver, and illustrator, created several works depicting the iconic Parisian bouquinistes—the secondhand booksellers who line the banks of the Seine. Among his notable etchings are "Le bouquiniste sur les quais de Seine, Paris" and "Le bouquiniste du quai Notre-Dame," both of which capture the characteristic atmosphere of these riverside booksellers and their stalls. Le Riche's prints are celebrated for their detailed and evocative portrayal of Parisian street life, particularly along the Seine, where the bouquinistes have been a fixture since the 19th century. His works show the green book boxes, the flâneurs browsing for rare finds, and the backdrop of Paris landmarks such as Notre-Dame. These scenes not only document a quintessential aspect of Parisian culture but also highlight Le Riche's skill in etching and his sensitivity to the city's everyday poetry. His depictions of bouquinistes are part of a broader tradition in French art and literature that celebrates these guardians of literary heritage and their unique role in the cultural life of Paris. He sometimes used the pseudonym "Hirné."

    . Première édition. Jolie gravure en couleurs du quai Saint-Michel, à Paris, avec les bouquinistes au premier plan et Notre-Dame à l'arrière-plan. Un petit chien surveille la scène. Signée par Le Riche en bas à droite de l'estampe. Étiquetée "Saint-Michel" en bas à gauche de la feuille. Il s'agit d'une grande gravure. La gravure elle-même est en bon état, propre et soigné. Il y a de grandes marges, et celles-ci sont assombries (en particulier sur le bord gauche). Il y a quelques entailles sur les bords. La surface gravée est de 32cm x 43cm ; la feuille est de 45cm x 64cm. Présenté sous la forme d'un Passepartout libre. Henri Le Riche (1868-1944), peintre, graveur et illustrateur français, a créé plusieurs œuvres représentant les emblématiques bouquinistes parisiens - les libraires d'occasion qui bordent les rives de la Seine. Parmi ses eaux-fortes les plus remarquables, citons "Le bouquiniste sur les quais de Seine, Paris" et "Le bouquiniste du quai Notre-Dame", qui restituent toutes deux l'atmosphère caractéristique de ces bouquinistes et de leurs échoppes sur les rives du fleuve. Les estampes de Le Riche sont célèbres pour leur description détaillée et évocatrice de la vie des rues parisiennes, en particulier le long de la Seine, où les bouquinistes sont présents depuis le XIXe siècle. Ses œuvres montrent les boîtes de livres verts, les flâneurs à la recherche de trouvailles rares et, en toile de fond, les monuments de Paris tels que Notre-Dame. Ces scènes ne documentent pas seulement un aspect essentiel de la culture parisienne, mais mettent également en évidence l'habileté de Le Riche dans la gravure et sa sensibilité à la poésie quotidienne de la ville. Ses représentations de bouquinistes s'inscrivent dans une tradition plus large de l'art et de la littérature française qui célèbre ces gardiens du patrimoine littéraire et leur rôle unique dans la vie culturelle de Paris. Il a parfois utilisé le pseudonyme "Hirné".

H. B. has caught a very humorous view of the compliment, and made it apply, not to optics, but to domestic economy ; and here is George IV., the luxurious George IV.-the Comus of Carlton-House--the restorer of Windsor- Castle at the expense of a million of money-the builder of Buckingham Palace and the Pavilion at Brighton : he who never calculated the cost of whatever might promote his indulgence or gratify his taste :-here is this dignified, splendour loving
    Monarch, reading a newspaper by the light of a single mutton-fat ; and reading, too, the market prices of butcher's meat, with a view to check the bills of the purveyors to the royal household. Dionysius at Corinth, or Timon in his cave, hardly present a more violent contrast." (Thomas McLean, An Illustrative Key to the Political Sketches of H.B.). Nice clean image.

    Daniel Raap (1703–1754) was a Dutch porcelain merchant from Amsterdam who played a significant role during the Orangist revolution in the Netherlands between 1747 and 1751. He was known for his agitation against the ruling Regent class, advocating for greater public influence in government and supporting the restoration of the stadtholderate under William IV, Prince of Orange. Raap, along with other activists, published pamphlets demanding democratic reforms and hereditary stadtholder rule. He organized petitions and called for the direct election of militia captains, the restoration of guild privileges, and auctioning of vacant public offices. His activities led to William IV intervening in Dutch politics, but when the new city government remained dominated by the traditional regent families, Raap found himself at odds with both more radical democrats and Orangists. By the time of his death, Raap's former popularity had turned to hostility; riots occurred at his funeral, and his coffin was even destroyed by a mob. Première édition. Rare gravure d'un graveur inconnu datant de 1754. Elle montre l'arrivée de Daniël Raap en enfer. Une caricature sur la mort du marchand et orangiste Daniël Raap le 15 janvier 1754 à Amsterdam. Raap et son allié Teepken en enfer devant le Diable sur son trône. Les détails de l'image sont numérotés de 1 à 5, mais il n'y a pas de légende. L'image a été collée sur une feuille de papier et conservée sous passe partout. Nous n'avons pas trouvé d'autres copies de ce tableau à vendre, et la seule copie que nous avons pu localiser se trouve au Rijksmuseum (RP-P-OB-84.474), également sans légende. La surface gravée est de 21cm x 31cm. La feuille mesure 25 cm x 34 cm. Passe partout mesure 35 cm x 50 cm. La feuille est un peu assombrie et présente une déchirure fermée sur un bord (qui n'affecte pas la zone gravée). Le titre est ajouté en néerlandais dans le manuscrit en bas à droite, et le numéro 114 en bas à gauche. Petite zone de perte au bord supérieur de la bordure, cachée par un passe-partout. Une pièce rare.

    Daniel Raap (1703-1754) était un marchand de porcelaine néerlandais d'Amsterdam qui a joué un rôle important pendant la révolution orangiste aux Pays-Bas entre 1747 et 1751. Il était connu pour son agitation contre la classe régente au pouvoir, prônant une plus grande influence du public dans le gouvernement et soutenant la restauration du stadtholderat sous Guillaume IV, prince d'Orange. Avec d'autres activistes, Raap a publié des pamphlets réclamant des réformes démocratiques et le règne héréditaire du stadtholder. Il organise des pétitions et demande l'élection directe des capitaines de milice, le rétablissement des privilèges des guildes et la mise aux enchères des charges publiques vacantes. Ses activités ont incité Guillaume IV à intervenir dans la politique néerlandaise, mais lorsque le nouveau gouvernement de la ville est resté dominé par les familles régentes traditionnelles, Raap s'est retrouvé en désaccord avec les démocrates plus radicaux et les orangistes. Au moment de sa mort, la popularité de Raap s'est transformée en hostilité ; des émeutes ont éclaté lors de ses funérailles et son cercueil a même été détruit par une foule.

Slightly rough edge where originally bound into the book. Engraving is 23cm x 39cm. Mount is 33cm x 45cm. The scene in which Queen Margaret places a paper crown on the head of the Duke of York is one of the most memorable moments in William Shakespeare's play Henry VI, Part 3. The episode occurs during the Wars of the Roses, a series of dynastic conflicts between the houses of Lancaster and York for the English throne in the 15th century. After the Battle of Wakefield (1460), Richard, Duke of York, is captured by the Lancastrian forces led by Queen Margaret of Anjou. In an act of cruel mockery, Margaret and her allies taunt York for his failed claim to the throne. She places a paper crown on his head, ridiculing his royal ambitions before ordering his execution. "York cannot speak, unless he wear a crown. A crown for York! and, lords, bow low to him: Hold you his hands, whilst I do set it on. (Putting a paper crown on his head) Ay, marry, sir, now looks he like a king!" (Henry VI, Part 3, Act 1, Scene 4).

La scène dans laquelle la reine Marguerite place une couronne de papier sur la tête du duc d'York est l'un des moments les plus mémorables de la pièce de William Shakespeare Henry VI, partie 3. L'épisode se déroule pendant la guerre des Deux-Roses, une série de conflits dynastiques entre les maisons de Lancastre et d'York pour le trône d'Angleterre au XVe siècle. Après la bataille de Wakefield (1460), Richard, duc d'York, est capturé par les forces lancastriennes dirigées par la reine Marguerite d'Anjou. Dans un acte de dérision cruelle, Marguerite et ses alliés se moquent de York pour son échec dans ses prétentions au trône. Elle place une couronne de papier sur sa tête, ridiculisant ses ambitions royales, avant d'ordonner son exécution. "York ne peut pas parler s'il ne porte pas de couronne. Une couronne pour York ! et, messieurs, inclinez-vous devant lui : Tenez-lui les mains, pendant que je la lui mets. (mettant une couronne de papier sur sa tête) Ay, marry, sir, now looks he like a king !" (Henri VI, troisième partie, acte 1, scène 4).
