Paris: La Vie Parisienne, 1918. First Edition . Illustrated Wraps. Very Good. 13.75" x 10.5. Chéri Hérouard, Georges Léonnec, Suzanne Meunier, Carlegle, others uncredited. . Paris: La Vie Parisienne, 1918. Illustrations - ephemera from an unassembled issue of March 23, 1918 of La Vie Parisienne, from its Golden Age, by some of the forty or fifty great illustration artists who gained famed, in large part, for their work in that famed Society magazine. 8 pages remaining here from a partly stapled but not fully assembled original copy of the issue; one seam is even unopened. The included art is by Chéri Hérouard, Georges Léonnec, Suzanne Meunier, Carlegle, and others uncredited. Text in French. Illustrated wraps in the very large folio size (13.75" x 10.5"), 8 glossy pages here of an original 19. As remaining ephemera, these pages are in Very Good condition, and more than suitable for framing or other applications; a touch of crinkle, some tiny seam chips, and short closed edge cuts, none of which show up well in the scans (which see). The two-page spreads - of a folio size publication - are too large to be completely included on even a large-format scanner, but you will get the idea. The conceits of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, evolving one to the other at the time, as those could be manifested through depiction of the wonders of French women, may never have been more stunning than they were through the remarkable sensibilities of the coterie of artists who regularly contributed to La Vie Parisienne. These pages are from an unassembled original - and of course first and only edition - example of that unique publication. As such, extraordinarily hard to replace, whether in full issues or as surviving, frame-able ephemera, as here. l-eph2
