Sobre este artículo
Caen, 1881. 12mo (180 x 118 mm). 2 unnumbered leaves + 94 pages in manuscript. 3/4 red morocco, marbled boards, title in gold on spine. Manuscript in a delicate hand in black ink with red accents.
A lovely manuscript in a legible hand that is a copy of an article on bookbinding by Charles Blanc on bookbinding that had been published in 'La Gazette des Beaux-Arts' in two instalments in October and November 1880. The manuscript is dated "Caen, 1881".
The manuscript is enhanced by several remarkable ornament drawn in ink: a title-frontispiece with a lovely decorative border a headband, a decorative letter and two tailpieces as well as a reproduction of a bookbinding executed for Grolier. The frontispiece is signed 'G. Le Vard d'après Le Potre'. This could be a drawing by Gustave Le Vard (1843-1919), president of the 'Société des antiquaires de Normandie' and the author of 'La Décoration des habitations particulièrement édifiées à Caen aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles'. The engraving is probably copied or inspired by an engraving of Jean Lepautre (1618-1682).
This is very likely the copy of Gustave Le Vard (1843-1919), Member of 'La Société française d'Archéologie' founded in Caen in 1834. Le Vard was a president of the 'Société des antiquaires de Normandie' and the librarian of the collection of Bernard Mancel (1798-1892), a collection that was donated to the town of Caen in 1872 and which is now one of the principal collections of the 'Musée des Beaux-Arts' in Caen.
Charles Blanc, the author of the original article was a well-known historian and art critic. He was the director of the Beaux-Arts from 1848 to 1852 and from 1870 to 1873, a member of the 'Académie des Beaux-arts' in 1868 and the chief editor of the 'Gazette des Beaux-Arts'. He is also the author of the important 'Histoire des peintres de toutes les écoles depuis la Renaissance jusqu'à nos jours' (in 14 volumes) and of the 'Grammaire des arts du dessin' a work that has influenced Van Gogh in the choice of his colours. He was elected to the 'Académie française' in 1876 and nominated professor of esthetics and art history of the 'Collège de France' in 1878.

Sobre Knuf Rare Books
Knuf Rare books was founded in the 1950s by Frits Knuf in the Netherlands. After an apprenticeship with Frits I took over the firm in 1996 which we then moved to France in 2001 where we are still based. The business is run from our home in Lavardin, one of the most beautiful villages of France located in the Loire Valley, that can easily be reached from Paris. Visitors are most welcome, but by appointment please. I am interested in the History of the Book and have a good inventory of rare and uncommon printed books, ephemeral items, prints and manuscripts from the incunable period to the twentieth century. My stock is especially strong in early auction- and library catalogues, type specimens, continental printer’s and engravers manuals, calligraphy manuals. Another interest is early continental architecture books and early art auction catalogues. Every year I issue two fully illustrated and annotated printed catalogues that are sent out upon request. In addition to that I also send out short email lists every week with a selection of books about books from our stock. And of course, I exhibit at several major international book fairs, such as New York, Boston and Paris. We work mainly with institutional customers, and are happy to discuss special institutional requirements. I adhere strictly to the professional standards and code of conduct of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers and the Syndicat national de la Librairie Ancienne et Moderne (SLAM), and the Compagnie Nationale des Experts (CNE) to which I belong. I have been an international rare book dealer for over 25 years and am a member of the Nederlands Genootschap van Bibliofielen. If you want to buy or sell single books or whole collections, have an expert valuation or if would just like some advice, please do not hesitate to contact me.
