NICHOLSON, William (1872-1949) et Rudyard KIPLING (1865-1936)
An Almanac of Twelve Sports. Londres : William Heinemann, 1898.
Un des « quelques exemplaires » de luxe, les seuls à comprendre des bois originaux de Nicholson, coloriés et signés par l’artiste. Chacun des superbes bois originaux est accompagné de vers de Rudyard Kipling. Cette association peut suprendre, car Kipling n’était pas féru de sport.
Tout commence en réalité avec le portrait de Kipling que Nicholson réalise, à l’origine pour The New Review. L’artiste et son modèle conversent, et Nicholson parle à Kipling de son projet d’almanach sportif, pour lequel il doit réaliser douze bois. Kipling lui propose alors d’écrire les textes accompagnant les gravures.
Le présent exemplaire est l’un des rares comprenant des bois originaux, coloriés et signés par l’artiste – dans le tirage courant, et ainsi l’écrasante majorité des exemplaires passés sur le marché, il s’agit de reproductions lithographiées, non signées.
Voir la notice de John Radcliffe pour la Kipling Society [en ligne] ; Livingston, n°145.

In-plano (425 x 330 mm). Un des « quelques exemplaires » (Livingston) avec les bois originaux, coloriés à la main et signés par l’artiste. Dans le tirage courant, les illustrations sont des reproductions lithographiées d’après les bois. Feuillets de texte imprimés sur papier vergé de Hollande van Gelder. 12 bois originaux de Nicholson, tous coloriés à la main, contrecollés sur de grands feuillets de carton épais, signés sur le carton. Entièrement monté sur onglets.
Reliure de l’époque en maroquin rouge, exécutée pour Henry Arthur Johnstone (né en 1861), avec son super-libris sur les plats et sur la garde, reste du plat supérieur frappé d’éléments dorés évoquant le sport, dos à nerfs, caissons ornés dans le même esprit que les plats, doublures et gardes de cuir brun, tête dorée (usures aux mors, quelques griffures, taches et frottements).
Provenance : Henry Arthur Johnstone (1861- circa 1921? ; super-libris) – Ralph Smith (ex-libris) -- Sam Josefowitz, Pully – puis par descendance aux propriétaires actuels.

One of the few deluxe copies “printed direct from the original woodblocks, hand-coloured and signed by the artist”. The depicted sports are: hunting, coursing, racing, boating, fishing, cricket, archery, coaching, shooting, golf, boxing and skating. From the collection of Major Henry Arthur Johnstone (Royal Field Artillery), which was sold en bloc to a London bookseller in 1921 (Clements).
