Condition: Near Fine

Description: One of 790 copies, oblong quarto, 123 pp. This publication of "Alice" by The Black Sun Press; formed by Harry and Caresse Crosby (1898-1929, 1891-1970, respectively) the Press continued under the operation of Caresse Crosby after Harry's death. "Harry and Caresse Crosby were a glamorous, wealthy and well-connected couple enmeshed in the fabric of Paris's avant-garde explosion; yet they are all but forgotten today. What emerges from the literature of those who knew them is that the flamboyant Crosbys were trailblazers, who had an enormous impact on both friends and strangers.They published some of the greatest literary giants of 1920s Paris, held riotous parties, smoked opium and flouted just about every convention of society during the eight years of their open marriage. They travelled to North Africa and Egypt on holiday before it was fashionable and were obsessed with ancient rites and rituals" (n.b., quotes from the web site of France Today). Wonderfully illustrated by Marie Laurencin (1883-1956), a French painter and an important figure in the Parisian avant-garde. She was a member of the circle which included Pablo Picasso and other cubists, and is known as one of the few female Cubist painters (n.b., above info from Wiki). The lithographs in this volume are more traditional, being lovely portraits of Alice and some of the people, or situations, in which she finds herself. ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in the French style in paper wraps over cardboard, lettering on the front wrap in red and black, imprint of the press on the back also in red and black, title page in red and black, the six full-colour lithographs by Laurencin bound in throughout (five still with tissue guards); oblong quarto size (11 1/2" wide by 9 5/8" tall), pagination: [i-vi] 1-114 [2, blank] [1, colophon], limited edition of 790 copies total, this no. 162 of the "European Edition". With the original publisher's chemise covered in pink paper, housed in a new slipcase covered in tan cloth. ___CONDITION: Volume near fine, the wraps mostly clean with a few very light, stray spots and a few spots of foxing on the back, straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges (we had a professional re-sew the binding, name available upon request), the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; some overall very light wear to the wraps, the aforementioned light foxing on the back wrap, with two of the five tissue guards creased. The chemise good only; it has been professionally repaired and is now complete and sturdy, but has overall soil and old dampstains. Note that the original slipcase is lacking, we had a new case made to protect the work. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

BLACK SUN PRESS: CARROLL, Lewis; LAURENCIN, Marie (illus.). Alice in Wonderland. Illustrated with Six Coloured Lithographs.. Paris: The Black Sun Press, 1930, 1930.

Price: US$16252.11 + shipping

Description: First Black Sun Press edition, an extranumerary copy of the deluxe European issue, lettered "F", signed by the artist on the colophon, and with a supplementary suite of the illustrations in sanguine, of which five are signed by Laurencin in purple pencil, as issued. The colophon, which states that 20 numbered copies of this deluxe issue were released in Europe, does not mention lettered copies. This was the first illustrated book of the foremost French artist Marie Laurencin (1883-1956), whose celebrated queer illustrations are "characterized by a palette of pastel colours and feminine subject matter" (Summers, p. 208). Producing Alice in this aesthetic caused "a considerable shock to those brought up on Tenniel" (Tebbel, p. 625). Laurencin hosted other famous artists at her home in Auteuil, where she "reigned like a queen, with her cat, whom she said was the model for all her female faces. As she became popular, her influence was felt in the world of fashion and interior design" (Fine, p. 173). Of the edition, 420 copies were designated for the US and 371 for Europe. The issues comprised 650 copies on Rives paper, 100 on Japanese vellum, 40 signed copies on Hollande Van Gelder with the sanguine suite (as here), and a single copy on Vieux Japon with the extra suite alongside the original lithographs. This copy retains its original jacket, chemise, and slipcase in superb condition. Minkoff A39 (misprinted as A34). Elsa Honig Fine, Women & Art, 1981; Claude J. Summers, ed., The Queer Encyclopedia of the Visual Arts, 2004. Oblong quarto. Original cream wrappers, spine and front cover lettered in red and black, publisher's black-and-red device on rear cover, fore and bottom edges untrimmed. With the original glassine jacket. Housed in the publisher's silver paper and card chemise and slipcase. Frontispiece and 5 plates in colour lithography, this issue also with a duplicate suite of the 6 illustrations printed in sanguine and bound at the end, all with tissue guards and by Marie Laurencin. Text printed in red and black. Faint spotting to fresh wrappers; glassine jacket with a couple of chips and tears but very well-preserved; chemise and slipcase slightly toned and handled: a near-fine copy in like jacket.
