(Verne). Michel Strogoff. Imp. Émile Lévy, Paris (circa 1880). (Verne). Michel Strogoff. Imp. Émile Lévy, Paris (circa 1880). Color lithographed poster, size 90 x 120 cm. A Russian horseman on the left, two scenes separated by an oblique band bearing the title: above, a grand spectacle of dancers, below, the terrible battlefield of Kolyvan. Generic poster, without place or date, used for the play's premiere at the Châtelet on November 17, 1880, then on provincial tours. All that had to be added was a banner announcing the place and date of performance. The play - in 5 acts and 13 tableaux - had been adapted from Jules Verne's novel by the author and Adolphe Dennery. It was a huge success, running for an entire year. Framed, in perfect condition.

STAËL (Germaine Necker, Madame de). De l'Allemagne. À Paris, chez H.Nicolle; chez Mame frères, 1814. 3 volumes in-8, (4)-xvi-348 +(4)-387-(une blanche) +(4)-415-(uneblanche)pp. half green basane, smooth spines filleted and fleuronned, marbled paper covers on boards; spines a little rubbed, scattered freckles (period binding). First French edition (Lonchamp, n°6, with variants in the appendices). In 1810, the work had an incomplete first printing for the bookseller Gabriel-Henri Nicolle: Napoleon, recognizing himself in the passage entitled "Portrait d'Attila" (here t.II, pp.223-231), ordered the seizure and destruction of the work, despite the protests of the bookseller's director-censor, Portalis. Of this print run, which was stopped halfway through the third volume, only 5 copies remain. The true original edition was printed and published in London in 1813, based on a Nicolle copy of 1810, with corrections and a new preface. Two further editions appeared in London in 1813, and one in Berlin in 1814, but it was not until the fall of the Empire in 1814 that the present first French edition was published. The first French-language study of the arts and letters in the German-speaking world in the early 19th century. This ambitious work was the fruit of several stays and numerous meetings in Germany and Austria: it met with immense success, partly due to the anticipation it had aroused for three years after its banning in France, and can be considered "the capital work that founded Mme de Staël's European reputation" (Lonchamp). While Del'Allemagne received much criticism in German-speaking countries for its errors and un-German intellectual posture, Goethe approved it as a work independent of partisan quarrels and as an instrument for the rehabilitation of Germany in Europe. Provenance: probably Sophie Jacquelin-Dulphé, widow of the Marquis d'Arcy Michel-François-Louis Larcher (engraved armorial bookplate of her father-in-law Michel Larcher, on verso of faux-titres), then Comtes d'Antioche (engraved armorial bookplate on upper flyleaves). Alphonse-Charles de Brotty inherited the estate from his sister, Françoise-Gabrielle Céline de Brotty, second wife of Georges Thomé de Saint-Cyr, himself second husband of Sophie Jacquelin-Dulphé.
