Original color lithograph wrappers also by Bonnard. Spine perished, light wear to edges, offsetting to title, the frontispiece with small oil stain to border, otherwise very good.  $2500. ¶ First Edition. One of 800 copies on velin of a total edition of 1000. The frontispiece and covers are color lithographs by Bonnard, which, because of their desirability, have been removed from many copies; this is therefore an attractive, complete copy. The text to this volume is considered to be the cornerstone to understanding the revolution in color lithography of the 1890s; Mellerio discusses the work of the major artists using the medium, including Bonnard, Lautrec, Vuillard, Cheret, Steinlen, Signac, Grasset, Redon and others; there is also a discussion of the major print publishers of the day. "Because of its cover and multi-color frontispiece, this book is often considered the first French 'livre de peintre' with original color lithographs" (Artist & The Book). Bonnard's frontispiece, "La Loge," shows a man and woman sitting in the loge of a theatre. Andre Mellerio (1862-1943) was an astute critic and writer, concentrating on avant-garde movements of the 1890s. He also compiled the catalogue raisonné of the graphic works of Redon. The present work "set the tone for future aesthetic appraisals of 1890s printmaking. Mellerio's choice of artists, his critical analysis of their work and his estimate of each artist's contribution to the color movement remain essentially valid today..." (Cate & Hitchings p .74).
