Seller: Antiquariat Les-art, Burgstetten, Germany
Folio - Bildgröße je 15,3 x 22 bzw. 9,8 x 14,9 cm, ein Bild größer. Eindruck des Photographen, des Verlegers/Druckers und Bezeichnung im Unterrand. Hauptsächlich Landschaftsaufnahmen, mit Ansichten des Mont-Blanc (Vu au Télescope de Genéve), Cathedrale de St. Pierre, Bords de la Versoix, Hafenmole am Genfer See im Winter etc. Die weitverzweigte Photographen-Dynastie Boissonnas betrieb eines der berühmtesten Ateliers der Schweiz in Genf, gegründet 1860 von Henri-Antoine B. (1833-89). Auch dessen Söhne Edmont-Victor (1862-1890) und Fréd(éric) B. (1858-1946) photographierten später und betrieben weitere Ateliers in Marseille, Lyon, Paris und St. Petersburg. Fréd übernahm 1887 das väterliche Atelier und entwickelte das "Telephot", eine Art Teleobjektiv mit dem er Aufnahmen vom Mont-Blanc machte (siehe die hier vertretene Aufnahme). Nach der Jahrhundertwende unternahm er zahlreiche Reisen, u.a. nach Italien, Tunesien, Türkei, Ägypten etc. und besonders mehrfach auf den Balkan und nach Griechenland. Bei seinen Griechenland-Aufenthalten schoss er über 7000 Photos von Landschaft, Baukunst und Volksleben der Hellenen am Anfang des 20. Jahrhundert. Durch diese einzigartige Dokumentation genießt er dort heute noch hohes Ansehen und gilt als einer der Wegbereiter einer eigenständigen griechischen Photographie. Er war auch einer der ersten schweizer Werbephotographen und arbeitete u.a. für Nestlé und Suchard. Wie andere große Studios in Europa, beschäftigten sich auch die Boissonnas vor der Jahrhundertwende mit photomechanischen Reproduktionsverfahren, hier vornehmlich mit der Photo-/Heliogravüre. Sie produzierten ab 1893 eine Reihe großformatiger Bildbände und Mappen mit Heliogravüren nach ihren Aufnahmen. Aus einem dieser Werke stammen wohl auch vorliegende Drucke.

Book
Genève-Sécheron: Sadag, January 1 A rare first printed report on the pioneering operations of the International Prisoners-of-War Agency by the Red Cross during WWI. Richly illustrated with heliographed images and photographs were made by Frédéric Boissonnas. - A rare book published by the International Committee of the Red Cross in January 1919, is a richly illustrated documentation of the work of the International Prisoners-of-War Agency in Gèneve during WWI. Presented are the offices, members of the agency, forms, different types of documents, images from the field etc. The photos, reproduced in an expensive technique of heliography, are accompanied with text in German, English and French. The International Prisoners-of-War Agency (IPWA) in Genève (Agence internationale des prisonniers de guerre (AIPG)) was founded at the beginning of WWI, in 1914, as an office of International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). On October 15th, 1914, only weeks after the beginning of WWI, the first central office for prisoners of war was establishedinitiative of Gustave Ador. The agency required lists of names of all the prisoners of war and soon it became the central office for the POW post, statistics, medical help and supply. It was soon receiving up to 16,500 letters per day and housed 1,200 volunteers. The headquarters were at the Musée Rath in Genève. The office reopened its headquarters during WWII. The author Étienne Clouzot (1881-1944), from in the prominent Clouzot family (uncle of the film director and producer Henri-Georges Clouzot and of a book dealer Marcel Clouzot (1916-2016) , brother of the librarian and curator Henri Clouzot (1865-1941)) was a librarian, art historian and author of several books on history and contemporary events. In 1919 he was nominated a chief of the office of International Committee of the Red Cross in Genève. Between 1912 and 1939 he was in charge of preparing all the reports for the international conferences of the Red Cross. The photographs were made by a Swiss photographer Frédéric Boissonnas (1858 om Gho became known mostly for his early photographs of Greece between 1907 and 1919 and who made the first known ascent of Mount Olympus. We could only trace six examples of the book in Swiss libraries and none outside Switzerland (OCLC 995475060). References: Henri LEMAITRE, Étienne Clouzot.

Erste Ausgabe.- Aus dem Nachlass seines Verlegers, Paul Trembley, stammendes Exemplar des wohl wichtigsten Werks des Schweizer Fotografen Frederic (hier Fred) Boissonnas (1858-1946). Von der regulären bei Wendling gebundenen Ausgabe gab es ein für den Auftraggeber, den ägyptischen König Fouad I, bestimmtes Exemplar, markiert mit "unique", 300 Exemplare in der Maschine arabisch von 1 bis 300 nummeriert und 37 Exemplare "hors commerce", römisch von I bis XXXVII.- Das vorliegende Exemplar ist nicht gebunden und nicht nummeriert und, anders als die übrigen, die sowohl vom Photographen als auch vom Verleger im Kolophon eigenhändig signiert wurden, trägt es nur die Signatur des Verlegers.- Zusätzlich beigegeben ist die Druckplatte für die Tafel VI "une felouque en Amont de Nag-Hamadi" (sie wurde, um einen Nachdruck zu verhindern, zerkratzt).- Die Gestaltung des Werks besorgte Fred Boissonnas, die Initialen, Vignetten und Bordüren sowie die Vorsatzpapiere zeichnete Henri Boissonnas, der Sohn des Fotografen. Die aufwendige Kassette, für die Originalpapiere aus dem Fundus des Verlags benutzt wurden, ist signiert, sie stammt aus der Werkstatt der Winterthurer Buchbinderin Elisabeth Zeier.- Außergewöhnliches Exemplar in schöner Gesamterhaltung.# First and only edition of this lovely photographic survey of the most picturesque sites in Egypt, with 40 finely printed folio photogravures by Frédéric Boissonnas (several printed in sepia and a few others in blue), 1 map and more than 250 in-text photogravures, one of only 337 copies (this copy unnumbered, out of the estate of his editor Paul Trembley).- Additionally added is the printing plate for the plate VI "une felouque en Amont de Nag-Hamadi".- Loose sheets in ornamental cassette. 44 x 55 cm.- One of the most important works of the Swiss photographer Frederic Boissonnas (1858-1946). The typography for this luxury publication was by the Paris firm of Ducros et Colas and the photogravures were printed in Paris by Leblanc and Trautmann (who were also Pablo Picasso's printers). The entire edition was printed on a special handmade paper by Van Gelder of Amsterdam.- Exceptional copy in beautiful overall condition.
