‎Quelques menus défauts, mais bon état de conservation. En 1911, lorsque Jean Montaudon (1886-1926), petit-neveu du Docteur Auzoux, prend la direction de la célèbre fabrique de modèles d’anatomie clastique en papier mâché et souhaite en diversifier le catalogue, il se lance dans la production d’affiches pédagogiques illustrées. Mais la concurrence féroce des maisons Deyrolle, Hachette et Cie, Masson ou encore Armand Colin, plus anciennement établies dans ce secteur-clé de l’édition scolaire, le contraint à adopter une stratégie commerciale audacieuse et originale : la publication de planches murales « de luxe », d’une haute qualité scientifique et artistique, destinées principalement aux étudiants des universités ou des écoles normales. Aussi confie-t-il l’impression à l’un des plus importants réalisateurs d’affiches et objets publicitaires de la Belle Epoque, dont le nom reste notamment associé à Mucha, Sarah Bernhardt et Lefèvre-Utile : Ferdinand Champenois. Pour la typographie, le caractère Auriol, fleuron de l’Art nouveau, pare les titres et sous-titres. L’exécution graphique des planches est l’oeuvre de talentueux dessinateurs, sachant allier finesse et précision du trait avec un sens de la couleur et un souci du détail remarquables. Enfin, pour la conception des tableaux, il s’entoure de spécialistes tels que les zoologues Rémy Perrier (1861-1936) et Casimir Cépède (1882-1954). Le choix de ces représentants de l’excellence académique française s’avéra judicieux pour insuffler aux Etablissements Auzoux le nouvel élan voulu par Montaudon. Ce dernier a probablement été séduit par leur commun attachement à la transmission du savoir : tous deux normaliens, ils mènent en effet des carrières d’enseignants respectés au sein de la Faculté des Sciences de Paris et d’autres institutions. L’étendue des réseaux intellectuels auxquels ils appartiennent a sans doute joué un rôle non négligeable, car tandis que Cépède fréquente les cercles artistiques de Bourdelle et Gémier, puis collabore avec le Docteur Toulouse aux programmes documentaires du service scientifique de la firme cinématographique Pathé, Perrier entretient, par l’intermédiaire de son frère Edmond, directeur du Museum d’Histoire naturelle et président de l’Académie des Sciences, des liens étroits avec l’élite scientifique de son temps. Enfin, ils disposent, au-delà de leurs domaines d’expertise respectifs (malacologie et bactériologie-parasitologie), de compétences et expériences fort appréciables : entre autres, publication d’ouvrages de référence et participation à l’élaboration d’illustrations scolaires (R. Perrier), mise au point de vaccins et création de modèles d’insectes démontables afin de former les équipes soignantes aux protocoles antipaludiques (C. Cépède). L’entrepreneur leur accorde donc de très avantageux contrats (droits d’auteur de 20 %) et carte blanche pour le choix des sujets. Ainsi, à la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale, les deux savants prévoient une « collection » d’environ 150 planches permettant de « donner un cours complet de zoologie », auxquelles doivent s’ajouter des séries sur l’anatomie, la physiologie humaine et la botanique, comme l’indiquent les catalogues. Indéniablement, l’ensemble est une véritable réussite, tant sur le plan formel que sur le fond - à la fois précis, rigoureux, esthétique – atteignant l’objectif de se démarquer des autres éditeurs. Le premier tome d’un Atlas de Zoologie et d’Anatomie contenant la description de 17 affiches paraît également au début des années 1920. Cependant, dès 1922, lorsqu’ils dressent le bilan financier de la fabrique, qui s’avère désastreux, les rapports comptables soulignent la responsabilité majeure des planches dans les difficultés économiques : leur diffusion reste limitée, et à l’évidence bien trop faible pour rentabiliser les investissements. Seulement une trentaine d’entre elles voit le jour pour la zoologie, moins d’une dizaine pour la biologie végétale ; il n’y aura pas d’autre volume de l’Atlas. L’aventure prend fin avant même la mort de Jean Montaudon, en 1923. Sa veuve se résout ensuite (en 1927) à céder l’établissement à Henri Barral qui, ayant également acquis les maisons Tramond et Vasseur (spécialisées dans les cires anatomiques et la réalisation de squelettes à partir de restes de dissection), privilégie d’autres orientations. Il faudra attendre les années 1940 pour que paraissent de nouvelles séries, - dont les fameuses planches schématiques en couleurs sur fond noir, attributs incontournables des salles de classes de l’après-guerre.Relativement rares et méconnues, les affiches pédagogiques de la « collection Rémy Perrier et Casimir Cépède » ont été peu conservées dans les institutions patrimoniales, ou l’ont été de manière lacunaire. Aussi sont-elles aujourd’hui très recherchées par les collectionneurs, amateurs de sciences naturelles ou de cabinets de curiosités. Leur très bel état de conservation ajoute encore à leur caractère tout à fait exceptionnel. Explication des figures : Les Copépodes appartiennent au groupe des Crustacés, qui constitue lui-même une subdivision de l’embranchement des arthropodes. Ils forment un groupe extrêmement diversifié comptant plus de 14 000 espèces réparties en 9 ordres, dont 52 principalement parasites ou commensales, les 7 autres libres (mormonilloides, harpacticoides, calanoides, cyclopoides, gelyelloides, misophrioides, platycopioides). Ils se caractérisent par leur taille minuscule (quelques mm à l’âge adulte) et leurs pattes en forme de rame (du grec kope, rame et podos, pied). Ils se développent dans tous les milieux aquatiques, vivant majoritairement dans la biomasse zooplanctonique (copépodes pélagiques), mais aussi sur le fond ou à l’intérieur des sédiments (copépodes benthiques). Ce sont les organismes pluricellulaires les plus abondants de la planète. Figurent sur cette planche la forme primitive, le Cyclops, et les principales formes qui en dérivent par adaptation à des conditions d’existence spécialisées.

He launched into producing illustrated educational posters but had to cope with fierce competition from the houses Deyrolle, Hachette and Cie, Masson, and even Armand Colin. All of them were more established in this key sector of educational publishing. This forced him to adopt a daring and original commercial strategy : the publication of " luxury" wall posters of high scientific accuracy and artistic quality, mainly intended for students of universities and Ecoles Normales (training schools for future teachers). Therefore he entrusted the printing to one of the most important Art Nouveau producers of posters and advertising objects, whose name remains notoriously associated with Mucha, Sarah Bernhardt, and Lefèvre-Utile : Ferdinand Champenois. As for typography, the Auriol font, flagship of Art Nouveau too, were chosen to adorn the titles and subtitles. The graphic execution of the plates was the work of talented designers who knew how to combine finesse and precision of line with a remarkable sense of color and great attention to detail. Finally, for the creation of the drawings, he hired two major specialists : the zoologists Rémy Perrier (1861-1936) and Casimir Cépède (1882-1954). The choice of these representatives of French academic excellence proved to be judicious and gave the Auzoux Establishments the new impetus Montaudon wanted for the company. He had probably been convinced by their common attachment to the transmission of knowledge since both graduated from the Ecole Normale. They lead careers as respected teachers within the Faculty of Sciences of Paris and other institutions. The extent of the intellectual networks to which they belonged undoubtedly played a significant role. While Cépède frequented the artistic circles of Bourdelle and Gémier, and later worked with Doctor Toulouse on the documentary programs for the Science Department of the Pathé film company, Perrier maintained, through his brother Edmond, director of the Natural History Museum and president of the Academy of Sciences, close links with the scientific elite of his time. In addition to their respective areas of expertise (malacology and bacteriology-parasitology), they had very valuable skills and experience. Among other things, Rémy Perrier published several reference works and participated in the development of school illustrations. Also Casimir Cépède developed vaccines and created removable insect models in order to train healthcare teams to antimalaria protocols. Given such skills and experience Montaudon granted them very advantageous contracts (20% copyright) and complete freedom on the choice of subjects. Thus, by the end of the Wolrd War I, the two scientists had planned a "collection" of around 150 plates which was supposed to enable them to "give a complete course in zoology". Series on anatomy, human physiology, and botany were also considered as indicated in the catalogs. Undeniably, the outcome is a real success, both in substance and in form - precise, rigorous, aesthetic - achieving the aim of standing out from other publishers. The first volume of an Atlas de Zoologie et d'Anatomie containing the description of 17 posters also appeared at the beginning of the 1920s. However, when the financial results of the company were calculated in 1922, they turned out to be disastrous. The accounting reports underlined the major reason for these economic difficulties were the posters : their distribution remained limited and obviously far too weak to make all the investments profitable. In the end, only around thirty of those plates have seen the light of day for the zoology section, less than ten for the plant biology section, and the second volume of the Atlas was never published. The project even ended before Jean Montaudon's death, in 1923. Four years later, his widow decided to sell the establishment to Henri Barral who had also acquired the "Maisons Tramond and Vasseur" (specialized in wax anatomy models and the creation of skeletons from dissection remains). It was not before the 1940s that a new series appeared - including the famous schematic posters in color with a black background which were essential attributes of post-war classrooms. Relatively scarce and underrated, the educational posters from the “Rémy Perrier and Casimir Cépède collection” have been poorly preserved in heritage institutions or are incomplete. Nowadays, they are therefore highly sought after by collectors, lovers of natural sciences, or cabinets of curiosities. Their very good condition further adds to their quite exceptional character. ***** - Clients Livre Rare Book : Les frais postaux indiqués sont ceux pour la France métropolitaine et la Corse, pour les autres destinations, merci de contacter la librairie pour connaître le montant des frais d'expédition, merci de votre compréhension.

(1503)

‎Rhesos (Rhesus) + Troades (The Trojan Women) + Bakchai (Bacchae) + Kyklops (Cyclops) + Herakleidai (Children of Heracles) + Helene (Helen) + Ion + Herakles Mainomenos (Hercules Furens / Heracles). - [EDITIO PRINCEPS OF EIGHT PLAYS BY EURIPIDES]‎

‎Venice, Aldus, 1503. Small 8vo. A nice, simple, charming full vellum binding with handwritten title and number to spine. Binding with a bit of soiling, but overall lovely. First leaf with stamp of the Gottholdsche Bibliothek and restored with the lower blank part remade with paper pulp, extremely well done. Second leaf with a vague restoration to the lower part, presumably from the removal of a label. Apart from a bit of occasional brownspotting or thumb soiling, very nice and fresh. Early (16th or 17th century) ink marginalia in Greek and Latin to several leaves as well as ink markings in the margins. A few of the marginal notes, mostly to top and bottom, shaved. Later ink annotation (numbering) to inside of front board. Quire signatures partly supplied in early hand throughout. (190) ff. Last leaf with colophon on recto and Aldus' large printer's device to verso. ‎


‎Extremely important first printings of eight of Euripides’ tragedies – including the Cyclops, which is the only fully extant example of the genre of satyr play -, the publication that ensured the survival of these seminal Greek dramas. In 1503, Aldus issued in Venice a breakthrough publication in two volumes of all the extant plays of Euripides. Four of these had been previously published (ca. 1495), the rest of the eighteen appeared in this two-volume publication for the first time. The first volume contained 10 plays, among them the four previously published ones, whereas the second volume contained eight plays, all published here for the first time. We have here the second volume, in a lovely copy, of this seminally important edition, containing eight of Euripides’ plays printed for the first time. As Dibdin says, “[t]his is an Aldine publication, which, more frequently than any with which I am acquainted, is found in an imperfect or indifferent condition. The first copy of it on paper that I ever saw, and bound in the Grolier style, had only the first volume… Earl Spencer has a portion of the second volume uncut…” (Dibdin, I:528). The textual transmission of Euripides’ plays, from the 5th century BC, when they were first written, until the era of the printing press, was a largely haphazard process, and much of Euripides' work was lost or corrupted. It was due to Aldus’ immensely important undertaking that these dramas were preserved for posterity. His of the texts remained the most important until the 18th century. The title-page of volume one states that there are 17 plays altogether (including the four previously published), but in fact there were 18. Hercules Furens had only recently been discovered, and Aldus included it at the last minute, at the end of volume two. Electra does not appear in either of the volumes and was only printed for the first time in 1545. The book is beautifully printed in Greek type throughout, with the elegant typeface by Griffo. Each play is preceded by a half-title with the title in both Greek and Latin, whereas the text itself is only in Greek. Not only the contents of the book is of seminal importance to cultural history, so is the format itself. It is a prime example of the portable book ('libellus portatilis' or 'enchiridion') that would come to revolutionize leaning in the modern world and the reding habits of modern man. “It was Aldus Manutius’ editio princeps of the complete extant works of Euripides, printed in Venice in 1503, which established the most enduring model for Euripides in print. He returned to the familiar cursive, using the fourth instantiation of his innovative lower-case Greek type, which had premiered in his Sophocles the previous year. This had been simplified somewhat in comparison to previous versions, and was attractive, clear, and easy to read. Both the Sophocles and the Euripides formed part of one of Aldus’ most famous innovations: the classical library in the portable octavo format. The Aldine octavos were not necessarily cheaper than larger volumes a catalogue from 1503 with Aldus’ manuscript additions including prices (dated to 1505) indicates that the two-volume Euripides sold for 1 ducat 3 lire, which H. George Fletcher estimates might be a week’s salary for a secretary or teacher, still a luxury item. But the smaller format took books out of the library and into the world these texts, presented by themselves without learned commentaries, were aimed not at cloistered academics but at the educated gentleman, perhaps holding a political office, and the travelling scholar. Many of these editions are dedicated to teachers of Greek (including the Euripides, to Demetrius Chalcondyles), suggesting that Aldus also envisaged them playing a role in education. Where previously students had been reliant on what a lecturer told them about a text, now they were encouraged to have their own copies, as is reflected in the many references to students in the prefatory materials.” (Shakespeare and the Renaissance Reception of Euripides, p. 63).
