Description
Halévy, Daniel - Jouas, Charles. - Vauban. S.l., Les Bibliophiles Comtois, 1947. In-4 leaves in printed cover, publisher's folder with red title-piece and slipcase - accident to title-piece - 184 pp (last blank), [2 ff. completed, list of members]. Illustrated with 47 drawings by Jouas, copper-engraved by Ferdinand Nourisson with sanguine highlights, including 1 frontispiece, 30 h-t and 16 in-t (7 headbands, 3 vignettes and 6 culs-de-lampe). Edition of 175 copies on Lana vellum (no. 105 by name).
This copy is enriched with a 40-leaf spiral notebook in which Jouas jotted down notes, plans and maps and collected various documents (including 41 postcards), all of which constituted his basic documentation for preparing his "Vauban". Letters and official documents from the Ministry of War and Transport were attached to facilitate transport and visits to the strongholds he wished to visit in order to make sketches. There are 2 signed coloured pencil drawings attached: "Citadelle de Belfort, une porte en montée au cavalier, 31 oct. 34" (23.5 x 32.5 cm) - "Belle Isle, au dessus de la porte des Ramonettes, 29 juillet 1934" (30 x 20.8 cm).
