Contact seller5-star sellerOblong folio (280 x 400mm.). quarter leather over marbled paper-covered boards, leather tips. Engraved Title page followed by 39 full-page engraved plates. Part two of the first edition (Bonacini no.1186; Berlin Catalogue 5167). Text in French. Two small book labels on the front pastedown, one of Ernst Fischbacher.Some minor wear to spine ends and extremities, very minor dampstain along the bottom edge of the gutter for the final few leaves, foxing throughout, else a near fine copy. Midolle's major work, indeed unequalled, tour-de-force of printing, calligraphy, exotic and decorative lettering, trompe-l'oeil, facsimile manuscript and book illustration. An extraordinary production, entirely of its period, of specimen lithographic plates. The plates depict decorative alphabets by Jean Midolle, but the printed effects go far beyond the requirements of calligraphy. Consists of a title page and 39 samples of alphabets and scripts by Ehrhardt, Lemaître, Schmidt, and Fasoli after designs by Midolle. Although Midolle was clearly a graphic designer of great skill and inventiveness, virtually nothing is known of him outside of this work. He brought notice to Emile Simon two series of alphabets, entitled Anciennes and Modernes, together with another more elaborate group under the heading Galérie - meaning a gallery of Midolle's most fanciful compositions . . . Many of Midolle's pages are delightful, decorative, and highly detailed. quarter leather over marbled paper-covered boards, leather tips. Calligraphy (illustrator).…

Add to basketRaccolta di 40 tavole incise (ciascuna protetta da velina). Unito a: MIDOLLE J. Galerie. Compositions executées a la plume. Strasbourg, s.a. (1835 ca.). Raccolta di 39 (di 40) tavole incise (ciascuna protetta da velina). Due opere legate in un volume in-folio (cm. 38). Legatura coeva in mezza pelle verde, dorso liscio con titoli in oro e fregi a secco. Esemplare in eccellente stato di conservazione, marginoso e pulito. La seconda opera è priva (dall'origine) della tavole n. 39. Bella raccolta di due opere che raccolgono le splendide tavole calligrafiche di Midolle che alternano composizioni con alfabeti antichi, artistici e fantastici (vedi ad esempio gli alfabeti ictyomorfi, ornitomorfi ed antropomorfi). Non si conosce molto della vita e della produzione artistica di Jean Midolle (svizzero?) salvo ciò che si evince dalle poche opera arrivate fino a noi. Certo si tratta di uno dei maggiori calligrafi del suo tempo sia per abilità tecnica che per inventiva. Cfr. Bénézit e Bonacini.…

Add to basketHard Cover. Condition: Very Good. This is a very good hardcover copy in the original binding of brown marbled paper boards with an all-over green design. There is a large printed paper label with the title inset in an elaborately lithographed Gothic style frame. Tan paper covered spine of dark green cloth. The edges of the covers have a little wear. Inside there is an elaborately detailed title-page followed by 32 of 40 numbered plates. No evidence of plates being removed, as binding still very tight, but normally with 40 plates. All plates are black & white lithographs showing an amazing variety of typefaces and alphabets. Many are composed out of very imaginatively worked animals, plants, people or inventions forming the letters. A classic of this genre, here an incomplete copy with various faults, such as browning, tiny foxing, and 2 instances of later careful coloring of initials on different plates. Quite rare in the original binding. Large oblong folio, 11" high X 13 1/2" wide. Call or e-mail for digital photos. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking.…

Without binding, 47 x 32.5 cm, 25 pp., French, 1st edition, illustrations, book condition: Very good The artist Jean Midolle was a master calligrapher and graphic designer who worked in Geneva, Mulhouse, Saint-Gall, and Strasbourg, and a leading figure in the romantic revival of manuscript arts.

The sheets of porcelain cardboard. These prints, made between 1835 and around 1860, were mainly used as commemorative, commercial, or advertising supports. This is an Abécédaire composed of beautiful specimens of pages inspired by manuscripts from the 14th and 15th centuries, very colorful, with historiated borders adorned with flowers and fantastic animals. The plates present a short biography of historical figures including Anne of Brittany, Edward of England, Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, Louis XIV, Marie de' Medici, the Antwerp painter Quintin, Richard the Lionheart, Sully, Turenne.

Alcune tavv. sono impresse in colore. In apertura del primo album bel ritratto litografico del Midolle impresso dal Simon e datato 1835. Leg. coeva in mezza pelle con titoli e fregi in oro al dorso. 14 tavv. un pò brunite e leggere fioriture sparse, ma buon esemplare. (7742) Bella raccolta di album calligrafici del miniaturista e calligrafo Jean Midolle, "Artiste, Ecrivain, Compositeur. né è Besançon le 14 Novembre 1834", come indicato nel bel ritratto litografico che apre il primo album. Questa raccolta ben documenta il gusto del periodo romantico, con molte tavole soprattutto nelle prime due serie ispirate allo stile neo-gotico e medioevaleggiante dominante all'epoca. Numerose le composizioni figurative, zoomorfe e fitomorfe, o di gusto architettonico; tra le altre una bella veduta della cattedrale di Strasburgo, inserita evidentemente in omaggio al litografo Simon; inoltre figure di vascelli, motivi ricavati dall'iconografia napoleonica, decorazioni ricavate da miniature e manoscritti medioevali; assai belle le serie degli alfabeti del secondo e del terzo album, molti dei quali figurati. Al nostro esemplare risultano mancanti (probabilmente dall'origine): nella prima serie le tavv. 10 e 31; nella seconda la tav. 32; e nella terza le tavv. 25 e 40.
