".: Antwerpen, Sint-Lukasgilde ( first editor) , P. Génard , D. Van Spilbeeck , J.E.Buschmann ( later editors ), format varies in-4°, in-folio,. Complete run of 46 years : 1855 - 1901, all published, bound in 19 volumes and the last 5 years are unbound with the original stiff wrappers with the woodcut design by Charles Doudelet. Some bindings contain 2 or 3 years. The bindings are not uniform. 9 volumes are in contemporary black or red half-leather; the other 10 volumes are in modern red cloth, with leather title label on spine. Some of the older bindings show some minor wear, there is also occasionally some foxing. On the whole a very good set. This run of the periodical is absolutely complete with all the illustrations : photo engravings, woodcuts, etchings, copper engravings, etc. It contains e.g. original graphics by Charles Mertens, Piet Verhaert , Theodore Verstraete, Frans Hens, Jakob Maris, Jos. Ratinckx , Josué Dupon, Eugène Van Mieghem. In the early years the original graphics were often printed in the text, an expensive method of printing which needed a double run on the printing press. Twice during its career the periodical had a rather drastic editorial change. It started as a general art periodical with points of interest outside the ''arts''. From 1888 onwards it focused on arts and literature; with a new subtitle ''Nieuwe Reeks'' , and a larger format. In 1897 , under the influence of the ''Art Nouveau'' mouvement the periodical received another important typographical and editorial renewal which brought it in line with the French '' Art & Décoration '' ( started in the same year ) and the English '' Studio ''. ( from 1893). The beautiful covers , printed on thick coloured paper, were designed by Charles ( Karel ) Doudelet. These last 5 years are present in the collection in their original form, with the wrappers, unbound, as issued, in a nearly pristine condition. The ''Vlaamse School'' was the leading art periodical in Belgium during the second half of the 19th c. It was also one of the leading periodicals in the Dutch speaking area ( The Netherlands and Flanders). Its main points of interest were the art of the Netherlands, the Southern Netherlands and the Antwerp school of painting in the second half of the 19th. c. It remains a striking example of the cultural and artistic rebirth of the Flemish people in the 19th c. In 1902 the publication was replaced by a new periodical ( by the same editor ) '' Onze Kunst '' which lasted until 1929. A collection of ''Vlaamse School'', with all the illustrations present is of the utmost rarety."

Première édition en français, traduite par le philologue Charles-Guillaume Dumas d'après l'édition donnée à Londres trois ans plus tôt. 2 jolies figures gravées d'après Benjamin West, représentant la conférence entre les Indiens et le colonel Bouquet en octobre 1764, et la reddition des captifs anglais en novembre de la même année, et 4 cartes et plans dépliants, dont un plan de la bataille de Bushy Run et une carte du cours de l'Ohio & du Muskingum. Le colonel Henry Bouquet (1719-1765) s'illustra durant la guerre de Pontiac (du nom d'un chef indien allié des Français), conflit opposant de 1763 à 1766 les Anglais aux tribus indiennes de la région des Grands Lacs, de l'Illinois et de l'Ohio. Rédigé par le révérend William Smith d'après les papiers de cet officier et publié pour la première fois à Philadelphie en 1765, le récit raconte l'expédition victorieuse de Bouquet à la bataille de Bushy Run (1763) qui mit fin au siège de Fort Pitt. Selon Field, il s'agit de la première victoire des Anglais sur des Indiens armés de fusils. L'édition contient une courte biographie de Bouquet par Dumas. D'intéressantes Réflexions sur la Guerre avec les Sauvages de l'Amérique Septentrionale occupent les pp. 89-147: on y trouve notamment le nom des différentes nations indiennes qui vivaient en Amérique du Nord, avec le nombre approximatif de leurs combattants. (Field, An Essay towards an Indian bibliography, n°1443). A translation of Smith's "Historical Account," taken from the London, 1766 edition. For another issue of the same sheets, see below "Voyage Historique." The maps and plates are re-engraved from the London edition of 1766, the two parts of the map appearing separately. West's two plates are re-engraved by "P. V. S." An adaptation of the "Marche du Colonel Bouquet," or "topographical plan," is in Avery, vol. 4/1908, p. 374. The preface includes a biographical sketch of Bouquet by Dumas. It is translated, into English in "The Olden Time," vol. I, pp. 203-207, May, 1846, and pp x—xvi of it are translated in the Cincinnati 1868 edition of the "Historical Account." Sabin, n°84647. Très bel exemplaire de cet Americana illustré de 2 gravures de l'éminent peintre Benjamin West (1738-1820), le père de l'école américaine. De la bibliothèque Louis-François de Monteynard (1713-1791), secrétaire d'Etat à la guerre de 1771 à 1774, avec son ex-libris armorié gravé.

".: Paris, Gil Blas, 1891 - 1902, in-folio, 38 x 27 cm, issues of 8 pp, first and last page are printed in colour. Bound in 6 uniform red half leather volumes with gilt titles on spine. Binding with some traces of use, but still in good condition. The set comprises 547 consecutive issues: from issue 1 (30 May 1891) till issue 52 of the 12th year (26 Dec. 1902). Another 34 issues were published which are not present here. Exceptionally long run of this satirical French ''Belle Epoque'' magazine. Considering that the publication was printed on paper of below standard quality this set is in excellent condition. Only a few issues show some small marginal tears due to careless handling of later owners. One issue lacks at one leaf an upper corner, with minimal loss of text (no image loss). In all: a very fine copy of a rare long run. bn;j The main illustrator of Gil Blas was Steinlen but all great illustrators of that period participated at some time: Albert Guillaume, Caran D'Ache, Legrand, Léandre, Bac, Chéret. ...Literary texts are included from de Maupassant, Verlaine, Mirbeau, Zola, Daudet, Courteline, Villiers de l'Isle Adam, Mallarmé..."
