GRASSET, Eugène || GILLOT, Charles.

The story of the four Aymon sons is a legendary tale, which was originally a gesture song from the French Carolingian era. The four heroes, sons of Duke Aymon, are introduced to the emperor Charlemagne and will live many adventures accompanied by an enchanter and a magical horse.
Their adventures are finely illustrated by Eugène Grasset (1845-1917), one of the representatives of Art Nouveau. It combines, with delicacy and simplicity, iconography inspired by the Middle Ages and the Knighthood with Art Nouveau style (with stylized forms and characteristic ornamental motifs such as flowers).

Very beautiful binding executed by Jean Paul Miguet (1925-2019) one of the greatest French bookbinders of the 20th century.

From 1923 to 1931, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry wrote many particularly touching letters to Renée de Saussine known as "Rinette". Three years his senior, Renée de Saussine was introduced to him by her brother Bertrand, a classmate of Antoine at the Lycée Saint-Louis. An affectionate friendship binds Antoine to Renée and spans the years. Sometimes, when he is far from her, he phones her. Finding her only rarely, he writes her many letters.

First edition of the poem Le Front Rouge.
Following the publication of Aragon's poem "Red Front" in the first issue of the journal "La Littérature de la Révolution mondiale", the government prosecuted the poet for provocation to assassination. Aragon in this poem indeed called for "getting down the cops" and "sweeping the Elysée". The copies of the magazine were therefore seized and destroyed by the courts.
The surrealists immediately took to the defense of their comrade and published a series of pamphlets and leaflets. André Breton notably defends the total freedom of poetry. However, Aragon did not recognize himself in Breton's texts and announced his break with the surrealist movement in March 1932. An important episode in French literary history during which each of the actors of the surrealist movement was able to express their position on the place poetry in society.
Rare copy of this magazine having escaped judicial seizure, absent from most collections devoted to surrealism.

André Vasseur, scholar and great collector of literary journals, has here supplemented the copy of the journal with 8 other pieces (brochures and leaflets) published by surrealist circles about this affair. On a page bringing together bibliographical notes in his hand, he notices that most collections of this type do not have number 1 of "La Littérature de la Révolution mondiale"

Manuel Bruker, was born in 1891 in Radaut, Romania. He was three years old when his family arrived in France and settled in Paris around 1894.

After studying medicine and receiving his doctorate in 1917, he became an ear, nose and throat specialist.

Dr. Manuel Bruker was, in the words of Pierre Mac Orlan, a "book lover" with a real passion for art.

In 1926, at the age of thirty-five, he created his own publishing house on the advice of his friend Dr. Lucien-Graux, "the prince of bibliophiles".

Between 1931 and 1963, Bruker devoted himself to what was to be the most original and personal part of his work as a publisher: the creation of Praise and Portraits of Artists. He chose among his contemporaries those whose work he particularly esteemed; collaborating with them, he commissioned prints to illustrate the texts, which were written by writers or art critics often close to the artist. During these three decades Manuel Bruker publishes forty-six Praises and Portraits.
These works, which testify to the publisher's aspirations in the field of illustrated books - Manuel Bruker considered this field to be "a production in which France has been able to take the lead" - have rarely been brought together. They have been the subject of three exhibitions, the first at the municipal library of Toulouse in 1958, more recently at the Meguro Museum of Tokyo in the fall of 2003, and then at the Museum of Fine Arts of Bordeaux in 2005, from whom we borrow this introduction.

A very rare and complete collection of the 34 "Praises" and 12 "Portraits" published by Manuel Bruker.

If most of these works are easy to find, some are rare, such as the portrait of Hasegawa

Most of them are printed at 200 copies, some at 150 or 250 copies.
