Artistes Tokio (illustrator). Fables choisies de J.P. Clarris de Florian Illustrées par des artistes japonais sous la direction de Pierre Barboutau Flammarion Succ., Paris, 1895 Very rare luxury copies numbered N°174 and N°98 We usually find in the trade the current print run, the numbered luxury edition on Japanese Tori-Noko paper is recognizable by the gray frame with patterns on the cover. 2 volumes In-4 oblong in traditional Japanese binding tied with white cords on Tori-Noko paper. A very thick paper printed on one side only then folded. Printed covers, 28 prints outside the text in color. Text with frame and tailpiece in black and white. The printing on the very thick paper creates a volume that accompanies the drawing on certain prints. Volume 1: XIV fables of Clarisse illustrated by Ka-no Tomo-nobou (one of the representatives of the Ka-no school) and Kadji-ta Han-ko, a Japanese literary painter and leader of the YosaÏ realist school. The illustrations are engraved and printed by the section of the Shueisha Company, named Seiboundô. Volume 2: XIV fables of Clarisse illustrated by Kon-bo-ta Tô-soui of the O-kio school (one of the great artists of his time) and Ka-no Tomo-nobou. The illustrations are engraved and printed by the section of the Shueisha Company, named Seiboundô. The fables were, at the time, translated for artists so that they could create Japanese scenes of life in line with the French fables. Barboutau had to learn a lesson from his edition of La Fontaine's Fables, where the illustrations did not always match the subject of the fables. Condition: Cover of volume 1 is sunned and foxing on the cover of volume 2. Otherwise good condition overall, the interiors are very fresh.

Scarce Pellerin -- only institutional copy showing on OCLC First Search at BNF, from which we base our dating. 4to. 24.5 by 19 cm. Unpaginated, eight leaves. Eight bright color plates, including that of the front cover. Seven fables, with an accompanying color plate for each. Light soil film on cover, mostly erasable with elbow grease, and a few stains which are not.

Our copy is No. 1 -- there was a No. 2 we infer from the BNF listing, but we do not consider this a set per se and so ours in not "incomplete".

Nous avons été assez heureux pour pouvoir faire exécuter ce travail par deux des Artistes qui nous ont précédemment prêté leur concours : Messieurs Ka-no Tomo-nobou, un des représentants de l'école de Ka-no fondée par un de ses ancêtres et Kadji-ta Han-ko, un des coryphées de l'école réaliste de Yo-saï, ce maitre fameux que l'Empereur actuel autorisa à se nommer Ni-hon gwa-shi c'est à dire Peintre lettré du Japon. Ces artistes dont le talent est très apprécié de leurs compatriotes ont bien voulu, avant de se mettre à l'uvre, se pénétrer de l'esprit de ces fables, qui ont été traduites en Japonais pour la circonstance, sorte que ces illustrations représentent réellement des scènes de la vie au Japon aussi bien que si le fabuliste, au lieu d'être français, eut été Japonais. ».

Stephanos Carathéodory, was an Ottoman Greek who had studied law in Berlin and then served as secretary in the Ottoman embassies in Berlin, Stockholm and Vienna. Stephanos had married Despina Petrocochino, who came from a Greek family of businessmen who had settled in Marseille. At the time of his son Constantin's birth, the family were in Berlin since Stephanos had been appointed there two years earlier as First Secretary to the Ottoman Legation. The Carathéodory family, originally from Bosnochori or Vyssa, was well established and respected in Constantinople, and its members held many important government positions. Stephanos Carathèodory was the father of Constantin Carathéodory (or Constantine Karatheodori) (Greek: ???sta?t???? ?a?a?e?d???) (13 September 1873 2 February 1950) was a Greek mathematician. He made significant contributions to the theory of functions of a real variable, the calculus of variations, and measure theory. His work also includes important results in conformal representations and in the theory of boundary correspondence. In 1909, Carathéodory pioneered the Axiomatic Formulation of Thermodynamics along a purely geometrical approach. Known correspondence of Carathéodory-Einstein can be seen as facsimile in Einstein Archives Online (11 items). Three letters concern mathematics and these are printed in vol.8 of Einstein's Collected Works (Princeton Univ. Press 1987).
