BONNARD, Pierre (1867-1947) et LONGUS
Les Pastorales de Longus, ou Daphnis et Chloé. Paris : Ambroise Vollard, 1902.

Exemplaire sur Chine avec suite en bleu des illustrations, enrichi de deux dessins signés de Bonnard, dans une importante reliure doublée de Pierre Legrain.

Second livre publié par Vollard et illustré par Bonnard après leur collaboration sur Parallèlement deux ans plus tôt, l'ouvrage se vendit mal à sa publication. Il resta vingt ans dans le stock de l'éditeur, les bibliophiles refusant d'y voir "une technique d'illustration appropriée pour le livre de luxe car jugée trop commerciale, voire vulgaire" (Édition limitée. Vollard, Petiet et l'estampe de maîtres, pp. 44-45) Mahé, II, col. 695 ; The Artist and the Book, n° 28, "these subtle plates had little appeal in 1902 for a public that preferred the sharply defined realism of the professional engraver. [...] Nevertheless the book is today considered one of the finest of its period" ; Rauch, n° 22 ; From Manet to Hockney, n° 18.

In-4 (329 x 249 mm). Tirage à 250 exemplaires : l'un des 40 sur Chine, second papier, avec suite en bleu des lithographies, celui-ci le n°38. Illustré de 155 lithographies originales de Pierre Bonnard et d'une suite en bleu avant la lettre des lithographies, sur Chine, reliée en fin d'ouvrage. Enrichi de 2 dessins signés de Bonnard, au crayon, l'un représentant une femme nue de profil et l'autre un paysage. Reliure signée de Pierre Legrain, vers 1926, réalisée pour Ch. Miguet : maroquin vert, plats mosaïqués d'un jeu de cercles entrecroisés de maroquin noir et crème, cercles dorés et au palladium, cette composition traversée d'une bande de maroquin gris, décor courant sur le dos lisse titré or, doublures de maroquin gris mosaïquées du même motif, gardes de tabis gris, couverture et dos conservés (ainsi que la couverture pour la suite). Sous chemise et étui. Reproduite dans Pierre Legrain Relieur, n°583, pl. LXIII).

Provenance : Charles Miguet (commanditaire de la reliure ; sa vente, 6 mai 1953, lot n° 84)

One of the 40 copies on China paper with a suite of the illustrations in blue and two additional original drawings by Pierre Bonnard, perfectly bound by Pierre Legrain.
