| | REDON Odilon - Charles BAUDELAIRE - Les Fleurs du Mal. Interprétations par Odilon Redon. Bruxelles, chez l'éditeur Edmond Deman, 1891, half cloth portfolio , 22 x 16 cm, with title printed on the frontcover and the publisher's trade mark printed on the back cover. Contains 9 etchings made from the designs by Odilon Redon. Finely preserved except for one large tear in the fold of a flap of the portfolio. The publisher Edmond Deman (1857-1918) had bought 9 drawings by Redon to illustrate Baudelaire's Fleur du Mal. (Mellerio n°s 198- 206).They were exhibited in the 1890 Salon des XX in Brussels. Nine plates were made from these drawings in two formats : in-folio (in 1890) and in-8° (in 1891). This in-8° format corresponded with the intention of the publisher to be inserted in a book edition. It is this suite of plates which is offered here. Both the in-folio and the in-8° plates were printed by Léon Evely a belgian printer who had developped several new techniques in the field of photo engraving and who became a master in the printed reproduction of drawings and lithographs. He also worked in this period for James Ensor and Felicien Rops. These in-8° engravings were never reprinted as against the in-folio plates which received a second imprint by Floury in Paris in 1923. (See Jules Destrée : L'Oeuvre lithographique d'Odilon Redon, Bruxelles 1891. See also Adrienne et Luc Fontainas : Edmond Deman éditeur , Bruxelles 1997, pp. 137-138.).

A second register appeared which contained the data of the steam vessels ( not present here). Bureau Veritas was founded in 1828 initially to provide maritime insurance companies with data on the state of ships and their equipment. Only in 1910 it extended its activities into industry. It is still very active in more than 140 countries. These 19th century registers are quite rare. This publication gives an exhaustive survey of the last generation of merchant sailing ships plying the world seas. (item 36025) | | | | | € 1050 | | | | Participant: Antiquariaat W. De Goeij | | | |

| | PLANTIN ECONOMICAL WITH THE TRUTH - GREGORIUS XIII Pope ( editor ). - Martyrologium Romanum, Ad novum Kalendarij rationem, & Ecclesiasticae historiae verita-tem restitutum, Gregorij XIII Pont. Max. iussu editum. Antverpiæ ( Antwerpen ) , Ex officina Christophori Plantini , 1586, in-8°, title page with engraved vignette + (14)nn pp + (2)pp (numbered 3-4) + pp 1-408 + (8)nn pp. Printed in red and black. Bound in old supple vellum with traces of ties, remains of a large paper title label on spine, with many small handwritten notes in a (probably) contemporary hand. Engraved ex-libris tipped on to the first paste down. First pages browned and thumbed. The collation is identical to Voet nr. 1643 except on two points. (I): PP (17-24) Rubricae Martyrologii is bound in at the end in this copy. (II): After the note on the calender (pp 3-16) is tipped in a leaf , paginated 3-4, containing the Papal breve of january 14th 1584 pertaining to the 3rd Roman edition of the Martyrologicum. As stated by Voet (see n°1643) and by C. de Clercq in '' De Gulden Passer '' 1956 pp. 176. Plantin toyed with the idea of inserting the text of this breve in his edition which he had already finished. This would have been a falsification because his edition was based on a Lyons edition of 1583 which contained many errors, which were corrected in the 1584 Rome edition. The copy in the Plantin Museum does not contain the text of the breve. The inserted leaf in our copy is clearly contemporary and bears the page numbering 3-4, the quire mark *1, and the catchword ex- at the end of p. 4 which corresponds with leaf *2 , immediately after the title.
