MENIER (Gaston). Cruise of the Steam-Yacht "Ariane" along the coasts of Norway, Sweden and Denmark, June 9 - August 1, 1902. Notes intimes de bord. Paris, Plon-Nourrit et Cie, sd. In-4 green morocco, spine ribbed and decorated, gilt title, sextuple gilt fillet framing the covers, gilt head, fine interior gilt framing, red moire lining and endpapers, covers preserved. Spine very slightly faded, a few very slight dark spots on boards. Rare, confidential edition of the logbook of a cruise on the yacht "Ariane" along the Scandinavian coast by Gaston Menier, owner of the famous chocolate factory of the same name, in the company of President Waldeck-Rousseau and his wife (to whom the book is dedicated), Fernand Crouan and his daughter Anne-Marie, Mme L. Raffard and Dr. Paul Barbarin. It is illustrated with numerous photographs of the trip reproduced in the text, 7 oil studies by M. Waldeck-Rousseau reproduced in color outside the text, and a fold-out map in fine. This copy, printed for Mr. Fernand CROUAN, is enriched by numerous documents: - the manuscript of a play "Revue du Cercle ... Polaire. En deux actes de M.M. G. Menier et P. Barbarin représentée à bord de l'Ariane le 5 Juillet 1902 en Norvège". In-4 of [39] ff. carefully handwritten in brown ink on the recto. Bradel taupe half-percaline, title p. in red mar. on spine (with some rubbing and missing parts) (period binding). E.A.S. "à la gracieuse commère de la Revue" from one of the two authors, Gaston Menier. Amusing manuscript of a facétie performed during the Ariane cruise described in the previous publication; it was performed by the two authors Gaston Menier, Dr. P. Barbarin and Mlle Marie Crouan (perhaps the recipient of the mailing and manuscript). - the original handwritten menu for the dinner on July 11, 1902 aboard Kaiser Wilhelm II's yacht Hohenzollern offered to the Ariane's passengers (reproduced on p. 77), with Marie Crouan's handwritten place card (with a small handwritten rebus in pencil on the reverse) and a vignette cut from a magazine depicting the imperial yacht - the original handwritten musical program for the same evening of July 11 aboard the Hohenzollern (reproduced on p. 78) - a handwritten note (financial details) on the back of half an invoice from Lagotellerie; Maurice de Lagotellerie, son-in-law and successor to Fernand Crouan, Marie's husband (he had joined the cruise in Denmark) - a printed menu of the November 19, 1902 dinner hosted by the Emperor (gilded imperial crown letterhead) in French, with handwritten music program signed by the Director of Music. A wealthy shipowner and banker from Nantes, Fernand Crouan (1845-1905) traded in cocoa from Pará and sugar from the West Indies, among other things for Menier chocolateries. He was one of Waldeck-Rousseau's closest friends (who was also a regular guest on his yacht or at his estates) and a sponsor of the Belem.
