Paris: La Vie Parisienne, 1917. First Edition . Illustrated Wraps. Very Good. 13.75" x 10.5. René Vincent, Jacques (Lehmann) Nam, Carlegle, Vald'Es (Valvérane & D'Espagnat), other uncredited . Paris: La Vie Parisienne, 1917. Illustrations - ephemera from the an unassembled issue of September 22, 1917 of La Vie Parisienne, from its Golden Age, by some of the forty or fifty great illustration artists who gained famed, in large part, for their work in that famed Society magazine. 8 pages remaining here from an unstapled and not fully assembled original copy of the issue. The included art is by René Vincent, Jacques (Lehmann) Nam, Carlegle, Vald'Es (Valvérane & D'Espagnat), and others uncredited . Text in French. Illustrated wraps in the very large folio size (13.75" x 10.5"), 8 glossy pages here of an original 19. As remaining ephemera, these pages are in Very Good condition, and more than suitable for framing or other applications; a touch of crinkle, and very little fade. See scans. The apparent reddish stains on the black and white spreads is color scan-through from the color illustrations on the opposite side of the page. See all scans. The two-page spreads - of a folio size publication - are too large to be completely included on even a large-format scanner, but you will get the idea. The conceits of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, evolving one to the other at the time, as those could be manifested through depiction of the wonders of French women, may never have been more stunning than they were through the remarkable sensibilities of the coterie of artists who regularly contributed to La Vie Parisienne. These pages are from an original - and of course first and only edition - unassembled example of that unique publication. As such, extraordinarily hard to replace, whether in full issues or as surviving, frame-able ephemera, as here. l-eph2
