CARUCHET, Henri (1873-1948) et Albert SAMAIN (1858-1900)
Manuscrit illustré d'Hyalis, ou le petit faune aux yeux bleus. Paris : Librarie A. Blaizot, [circa 1910].

In-4 (302 x 230 mm). L'ouvrage se compose comme suit :
- page de titre manuscrite, avec une aquarelle originale du faune ;
- faux-titre manuscrit ;
- justification manuscrite "Exemplaire unique orné et calligraphié par Henri Caruchet pour Monsieur Pierre Bise" avec tête de faune aquarellée ;
- 49 pp. de texte calligraphié, dans des encadrements aquarellés colorés à décors variés (un motif par double-page), illustré de 25 aquarelles originales d'Henri Caruchet en vignettes de divers formats, dont 24 monogrammées au crayon par l'artiste.
Reliure signée de René Kieffer : maroquin vert foncé, dos à nerfs titré doré, bordure intérieure de maroquin ornée de cinq filets dorés, tête dorée. (mors, coiffes et coins légèrement frottés)

Superbe unicum, entièrement calligraphié, orné de 27 compositions à l'aquarelle et bordures par Henri Caruchet.

Sociétaire de la Société nationale des beaux-arts, Henri Caruchet réalisa des illustrations pour des journaux comme pour des ouvrages de bibliophilie. La page de titre manuscrite porte l'adresse du libraire Blaizot, qui avait publié en 1909 une édition d'Hyalis en partenariat avec le relieur René Kieffer, illustrée par Picart Le Doux. Caruchet réinterprète l'édition de Blaizot en proposant ses propres compositions à l'aquarelle pour illustrer l'ouvrage et agrémente chaque double-page de texte d'une nouvelle bordure colorée.

Provenance : Pierre Bise (exemplaire unique nominatif)

Beautiful unicum, entirely calligraphed and decorated with 27 watercolor compositions and borders by French painter Henri Caruchet.
