[COLLECTIVE]. Les Minutes Parisiennes. Paris : Librairie Paul Ollendorff, 1899-1904. - 11 volumes in-16, 156 x 117. Bradel-style marbled paper boards, smooth spine, untrimmed, cover and spine preserved, slipcase (Yseux sr de Thierry Simier). Beautiful, sought-after publication by wood engravers Tony Beltrand (1847-1904), his brother Jacques (1874-1977), and Eugène Dété (1848-1922). The collection comprises 11 volumes, each with a text illustrated with woodcuts, by a different author and artist almost every time. Each text focuses on a different hour of the day, successively presenting a particular aspect of life in Paris. For the publishers, this publication was a battle to defend the use of real woodcuts against the new reproduction processes that were gaining ground at the time, notably photography and photogravure. Each volume therefore contains "true and picturesque drawings, images that are frank, clear and legible, executed with the clear intention of reacting against engravings that imitate the processes" (pp. 10-11 volume 1). Twenty-four volumes were envisaged, but only these 11 saw the light of day: 1. MONTORGUEIL (Georges). Midi. Le Déjeuner des Petites Ouvrières. Illustrations by A. LEPÈRE. 1899. 2. MOUREY (Gabriel). 1 hour. La Bourse. Illustrations by Charles HUARD. 1899. 3. GEFFROY (Gustave). 2 hours. La Cité and Ile Saint-Louis. Illustrations by Auguste LEPÈRE. 1899. 4. MILLOT (Léon). 3 heures. Les Courses, le Grand Prix de Paris. Illustrations by A. GÉRARDIN. 1899. 5. VALDAGNE (Pierre). 4 heures. L'Essayage.
