Folio ( 25,7 x 33,3 cm). 72 Pages in 17 non-bound loose quires with loose col. lithogr. plates inserted. Lithographed cover inserted in stiff blue-leather portfolio with a brown-leather gilt-lettered spine, the whole inserted into a blue-leather slipcase. Uncut. This work was printed in 70 numbered copies, all signed by the artist and blind-stamped with his personal seal. Thirty copies were printed on �papier v�lin de Rives� and numbered 41 � 70, our copy being No. 57. The coloured lithographs were printed by Lucien D�truit; the nice typography by Dominique Viglino. The work consist of sixteen 4-page quires, each consisting of a one-folded leaf with inserted a coloured lithograph (25 x 32,5 cm), three of these lithographs folding (50 x 32,5 cm), and one 8-page quire (two folding leaves). Each of the lithographs with a tissue guard. Each of these lithographs, depicting different hunting scenes, is a splendid work of art, worthy of being exhibited on its own. Around these loose quires a paper cover, illustrated with the first lithograph. Paul Jouve (1878 � 1973) was one of the most famous members of the �groupe des animaliers�. His father, August Jouve, was likewise a painter and befriended Theo and Vincent van Gogh. In 1894 Paul Jouve already took part in the annual Exposition des Beaux Arts at Paris and a few years later all the lithographs of the famous issue of L�Assiette au Beurre of November 23th 1901 �Vengeances sociales� were contributed by Jouve. He was especially interested in depicting animals (his personal seal was the head of a black panther) and therefore visited many European zoos (a.o. Antwerp and Hamburg). But he travelled also to the Far East (China, India and Indochina where Angkor made a lasting impression), Africa (especially Algeria and the Sahara, but also Egypt and Senegal) and the United Stated. Apart from the present work by Brissac, Jouve illustrated in all twenty books, the first one being �La Livre de la Jungle� by Kipling (1919). His works can be found in many museum collections around the world. See also the internet-site www.pauljouve.com for more information on his life and work. Pierre de Coss�, the 12th Duc de Brissac (1900 � 1993) has published several works on hunting a.o. �La Venerie� (1966), �Armes de Chasse�(1967) and �Chasse�(1957- not the present work); he was the father of well-known authoress Elvire de Brissac (�Les Anges d�en bas�, Prix Goncourt 1999). Book, portfolio, slipcase and lithographs all fine - as new. A splendid art book and a hunting book as well.
