- Constructions mécaniques n°49 : Scierie (ce sujet fonctionne au moyen du sable)

Olivier-Pinot | Épinal s. d. [circa 1880-1900] | 49 x 39 cm Olivier-Pinot | Épinal s. d. [circa 1880-1900] | 49 x 39 cm | Image d\'Épinal, lithographie couleurs, grand format, imprimée sur papier fort. Infimes manques marginaux sans aucune atteinte à la gravure, sinon très bel état, couleurs très bien conservées. Ces planches sont des constructions ou maquettes en carton, sur lesquelles un patron était imprimé. Ce patron doit être découpé puis assemblé pour construire divers objets ou scènes de vie.  L\'imagerie d\'Épinal publia plusieurs séries de modèles à découper dont les ""Grandes Constructions"" au format de 39 x 49 cm, les ""Moyennes Constructions"" et les ""Petites Constructions"". De 1880 à 1908, des constructions furent éditées avec pour objets l\'architecture, les costumes, les bateaux et divers véhicules. Durant cette même période, les théâtres de papier ou ""théâtre chez soi"" connurent également un grand succès. Ce modèle de jouet se développa et perdura jusqu\'à la seconde Guerre Mondiale.  ?Vendues autrefois par des colporteurs, les images d\'Épinal doivent leur nom à Jean-Charles Pellerin, qui fut le premier imprimeur à éditer en série ce type d\'image, et qui habitait la ville d\'Épinal (Vosges). Les sujets sont très variés mais généralement tournent autour de la religion, de l\'histoire (Révolution française, batailles, uniformes militaires), ou tirés de romans à succès. L\'imagerie d\'Épinal prend ses origines dans l\'imagerie, art populaire né au XVème siècle destiné principalement au public illettré des campagnes. À l\'origine, l\'image est gravée sur une planche de bois et l\'impression s\'effectue à l\'aide d\'une presse à bras. Elle est ensuite mise en couleur au moyen de pochoirs. Au XIXème siècle, on réalise à partir des bois gravés des moulages en plomb : les stéréotypes, qui permettent d\'augmenter la production. En 1820, on passe à la lithographie, qui induit un changement de style radical, des dessins plus fins. En 1900, la mise en couleurs se fait toujours au pochoir, grâce à une machine qui peut colorier 300 images à l\'heure, l\'Aquatype. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] Image d\'Épinal, color lithograph, large format, printed on heavy paper. Minimal marginal lacks without any damage to the engraving, otherwise very fine condition, colors very well preserved. These plates are cardboard constructions or models, on which a pattern was printed. This pattern must be cut out then assembled to construct various objects or scenes from life. The Imagerie d\'Épinal published several series of cut-out models including the ""Grandes Constructions"" in 39 x 49 cm format, the ""Moyennes Constructions"" and the ""Petites Constructions"". From 1880 to 1908, constructions were published featuring architecture, costumes, boats and various vehicles. During this same period, paper theaters or ""théâtre chez soi"" also enjoyed great success. This type of toy developed and lasted until the Second World War. Once sold by peddlers, the images d\'Épinal owe their name to Jean-Charles Pellerin, who was the first printer to publish this type of image in series, and who lived in the town of Épinal (Vosges). The subjects are very varied but generally revolve around religion, history (French Revolution, battles, military uniforms), or drawn from successful novels. The Imagerie d\'Épinal has its origins in imagery, a popular art form born in the 15th century intended mainly for the illiterate public of the countryside. Originally, the image is engraved on a wooden plate and printing is carried out using a hand press. It is then colored using stencils. In the 19th century, lead castings were made from the engraved wood blocks: stereotypes, which allowed production to be increased. In 1820, lithography was adopted, which induced a radical change in style, with finer drawings. In 1900, coloring was still done by stencil, thanks to a machine that could color 300 images per hour, the Aquatype. *

Lamarck, [J. B. P. A. de Monet de la] [Favre, J.] - Catalogue illustré de la collection Lamarck. Premier Partie. Fossiles. Avec 117 planches.

Genève, Muséum d'Histoire naturelle de Genève, 1918. Folio (31.8 x 24.3 cm). Title page, [ii] pp.; 14 phototype plates, each with four pp. descriptive text (not numbered). Original printed wrappers. = A single part of a rare series, this part containing the "Mollusques trachélipodes fossiles", and covering the Lamarckian (and Linnaean) genera Ampullaria, Ancillaria, Bulimus, Cassis, Cerithium, Conus, Cyclostoma, Delphinula, Lymnaea, Melania, Murex, Natica, Neritina, Oliva, Pyrula, Scalaria, Terebellum, and Turritella; together illustrating and discussing type material of 66 species, mainly - if not all - Tertiary (Eocene) species from the Paris Basin. This work was compiled by the Swiss palaeontologist and malacologist Ernest Favre (1845-1925). Published over a long period, and containing other groups of animals too. Complete copies with all 177 plates, are very rare: we found not a single auction record. A supposed "Deuxième Partie" was never published. We assume that it would have dealt with Lamarck's recent shells, which are in the Geneva museum too. Wrapper split at spine fold, and with some short tears. Otherwise very good; plates and text in excellent condition. Cat. BM(NH) Suppl., pp. 361, 598.
