Description
BAUDIER (Paul, ill.), MAUPASSANT (Guy de). *Sur l’eau*. Paris, La Trirème, 1951. In-4. Loose-leaf volume with a replaced cover and a slightly worn slipcase. An illustrated volume featuring 40 original colour woodcuts by Paul Baudier, comprising 10 full-page plates and 30 within the text. Printed in a run of 201 copies; one of the copies from the non-commercial edition on rag vellum. The illustrations depict seaside scenes and seascapes with sailing ships. Paul Baudier was a tireless worker and left behind a considerable body of work as a draughtsman, painter, engraver and illustrator. He trained numerous students in engraving, including his son Albert-Pierre, who went into partnership with Marthe Fequet, a printer and typographer. Their publishing house, La Trirème, would go on to print the major works of the greatest French masters of the 20th century. Enclosed: - BARBEY (Valdo). Letters to Julien. Flanders and Sicily. Paris, H. Lefebvre, 1950. Oblong quarto, in loose sheets, with a replaced cover and the publisher’s slipcase. 20 colour lithographs. Printed in an edition of 200 copies; this is one of the ‘Hors-commerce’ copies signed by the artist. Autographed dedication by the author and artist to Jacques Guignard. An archivist, palaeographer and erudite humanist, Jacques Guignard (1912–1980) devoted his career to the National Library, where he headed the Printed Works Department before taking charge of the Arsenal Library from 1961 to 1980. Combining a profound knowledge of the history of the book with a rare artistic sensibility, he enriched and promoted the heritage collections whilst playing a pioneering role in the development of international bibliophilia.
