BARBIER, Georges, (1882-1932) and Albert FLAMENT (1877-1956)

Personnages de Comédie texte par Albert Flament Gravures sur Bois de Schmied. Paris: chez Maynial, [1922].

A lovely copy, untrimmed in its original printed wrapper, of this beautifully illustrated work from a limited edition of 150 copies; number 148, signed by Barbier in pencil. The fine woodcut Illustrations by Barbier were superbly printed by F. I Schmied, in collaboration with Pierre Bouchet and Louis Bracons. One of the most important works by Barbier, rivalled only by his Le Bonheur du Jour. Albert Flament's text of 1914 is a diffuse meditation, half-waking and half-dreaming, which takes as its point of departure the great roles of world theatre. Bobins IV, 1414; Carteret Romantique 157 ('Une des meilleures productions de Barbier et de F. L. Schmied, qui a supérieurement gravé').



Quarto (375 x 290mm). Half-title with half-page coloured woodcut, title printed in green and black, with a coloured woodcut Harlequin vignette, 12 full-page and 2 half-page woodcut colour plates, some with gold printing, 22 historiated coloured woodcut four-line initials, decorative woodcut ornaments in the text, of which many printed in gold, a final colour woodcut vignette, list of plates and colophon, text and woodcuts within a green line border (light offsetting from the plates and borders, very light age toning). Unbound, as issued, within illustrated wrapper, upper cover with half-page woodcut repeated from half-title, within full-page woodcut marbled border, all printed in colour and gold (head and tail of spine of wrapper very slightly worn) with glassine wraps.
