[MAILLOL, ARISTIDE]. Virgil. Les Georgiques de Virgile.
Paris Gonin, Philippe 1937-43 (1950) Three quarto portfolio volumes. (i), 174, (i) pp.; (i),154, (i) pp.; (154) ff. Volumes I and II are each one of 750 copies, and Volume III is one of 100 copies. The first two volumes contain the full text and illustrations, printed entirely in black. Volume III consists of a suite of ten first-state proofs on papier du Chine of Maillol's woodcut illustrations and two complete suites of all the blocks, one printed in black and the other in sanguine. Each page of Volume III is stamped with device M in circle and numbered. The entire set is printed on Montval handmade paper watermarked with two different Maillol nudes. Maillol first conceived the idea of illustrating Virgil's Georgics while on a voyage from Greece with Count Harry Kessler in 1908. He continued the project sporadically over the years and then abandoned it completely. It was not until 1937, at the urging of Philippe Gonin, that he resumed the project. The last blocks were delivered in 1944, shortly before Maillol's death, and the project was finally completed on the first day of spring in 1950. Lyrical, simple, and classical in feeling, Maillol's woodcuts represent the best modern interpretation of Virgil's text on farming. The leaves, unbound as issued, are in paper wrappers within chemise of plain boards backed with printed vellum. Each volume housed in a slipcase. There is minor scattered foxing to the volumes as well as some breakage to the top edge of one slipcase, else this is a fine set. (Artist and the Book 175).

[VILLON, JACQUES]. Hesiode. Les travaux et les jours.
Paris (Editions Verve) (1962) Folio. 63pp. unbound as issued. Limited to 200 copies signed by the artist. Illustrated with four color and nineteen black & white etchings by Villon, fifteen of which are double-page. Flocks, herds, and rustic groupings of men and women are shown in the craggy landscape of Greece, in Villon's Cubist style. Very fine in printed wrappers and housed in a cloth-backed chemise and slipcase. Jacques Villon was a member of th Duchampian family of artists. In his youth he studied law, but soon abandoned it to join the Cubist movement. He is particularly noted for his mastery of the colored etching. Using a plate for each color, he referred to himself as the "Cubist Impressionist." This work is an apt description of his fusion of structure with color. Villon's finesse with etching is effectively demonstrated in this book, yet even his use of black and white gives a dramatic interpretation to the text. A magnificent livre d'artiste and a masterpiece.

[THIELEN, PIERRE]. Chaucer, Geoffrey. The Canterbury Tales of Geoffrey Chaucer. Together with a Version in Modern English Verse, by William Van Wyck.
NY Covici-Freide 1930 Two large quarto volumes. 530pp. numbered consecutively. With twenty-five full-page illustrations by Rockwell Kent printed in brown and black, and more than fifty smaller decorations. Limited to 924 copies signed by Kent. In a unique sculptural binding signed by the Dutch artist Pierre Thielen. Executed in 1992, this breathtaking modernist binding may well become the cornerstone of Thielen's widely acclaimed work. Thielen has created a cathedral motif for the central part of the two-sided slipcase by incorporating long pointed strips of leather-covered boards of varying lengths to signify the spires of Canterbury Cathedral. Between the spires is a gold-colored staff, symbolizing the pilgrimage. The cathedral motif is repeated in both the boards of the slipcases and the bindings. Bound in calf leather, the bindings have been "patinated" in red and black, the black being Chinese ink, the red a diluted solution of acrylic paint; the whole is finished with "glaco-cuir," a book-leather wax. This exquisite binding represents the perfect complement to Kent's striking illustrations and, in juxtaposition, provides a twentieth-century context for Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Included are the original binder's pencil and ink sketches. Some show Thielen's early designs, which were later abandoned; others show the development of the present binding, complete with a proposed color scheme. Trained in Maastricht as master gold, silver and wrought iron smith, Pierre Thielen is also a poet, painter, sculptor, and prize-winning binder. In an interview ("Boek en Band," 1986) he said "Jewelry of half an inch square or a very large sculpture: both are architecture. It transcends the measurements; it's the conceptual idea that has the greatness. The binding of a book, too, has a close relationship to architecture." This binding is free-standing, and functions as a graceful, beautifully crafted piece of sculpture. Although the lines are clean and modern, it recalls the upward-reaching quality of Gothic cathedrals. Mint, housed in a cleverly designed, fitted box.
