BERTRAND, Louis, dit Aloysius (1807-1841) et Armand SEGUIN (1869-1903)
Gaspard de la nuit. Fantaisies à la manière de Rembrandt et de Callot. Paris : Ambroise Vollard, 1904.
Précieux exemplaire, l'un des 20 de tête sur Japon avec suite sur Chine des bois, et en outre enrichi de 155 dessins originaux de Séguin à l’encre, au fusain ou à la mine, dont 9 non publiés, revêtu d'une remarquable reliure Art déco de Jacques Anthoine-Legrain.
La justification de l'ouvrage et, à sa suite, plusieurs bibliographes, annoncent "une double suite" sur Chine mais les pages introductives de cette dernière la décrivent bien comme "la suite d'épreuves d'artiste sur Chine jointe aux exemplaires Japon" - il semble donc qu'une seule suite soit requise.

Carteret IV, p.71 ; Mahé I, 244 ; Édition limitée. Vollard, Petiet et l'estampe de maîtres, Paris, Petit Palais, 2021, p. 45 et cat. 218.

In-4 (242 x 175 mm). Tirage limité à 300 exemplaires numérotés, celui-ci le n°10, l'un des 20 exemplaires de tête sur Japon ancien à la forme avec suite d’épreuves d’artiste sur Chine de toutes les gravures sans le texte. 213 gravures sur bois par les frères Tony, Jacques et Camille Beltrand, d’après les dessins d’Armand Seguin. L'exemplaire est bien complet de sa suite sur Chine des bois.
L'exemplaire est enrichi de 155 dessins originaux de Séguin à l’encre, au fusain ou à la mine, la plupart d'entre eux ayant servi à l'illustration de l'ouvrage. 9 dessins, non retenus, sont inédits. Les dessins sont reliés à la suite ou en regard de la composition imprimée.
Reliure signée de Jacques Anthoine-Legrain : maroquin ébène, plats décorés d’une composition géométrique de filets dorés fins ou larges et de grandes pièces de galuchat crème mosaïquées, dos lisse, nom d’auteur et titre frappés en lettres dorées et à froid, contreplats de daim vermillon dans un encadrement de maroquin ébène ornés de filets dorés, gardes de daim brun et tranches dorées sur témoins. Chemise, étui (chemise et étui frottés et restaurés).
Provenance : Sam Josefowitz, Pully – puis par descendance aux propriétaires actuels

One of the 20 deluxe copies on Japan paper, comprising a suite of all the 213 woodcuts on China paper and enriched with 155 original drawings by Armand Seguin for the edition, including 9 unpublished, in a fine art-deco binding by Jacques Anthoine-Legrain. Bertrand's text was an early favourite of the surrealist poets, including André Breton, who described him as a "Surrealist from the past" in the Manifeste du Surréalisme (1924). This book is the sixth published by Ambroise Vollard.
