Description

Saint Nicolas. Illustrated newspaper for boys & girls. Paris, France. Librairie de Ch. Delagrave [then Delagrave]. 1880-1915. Saint Nicolas. Illustrated newspaper for boys & girls. Paris, France. Librairie de Ch. Delagrave [then Delagrave]. 1880-1915. Thirty-two volumes in-8, then large in-8. Publisher's boards. Red percaline, beveled boards, gilt [or not]. Black and gold plate on the first cover: in the upper part, the head of St. Nicholas, a tall bearded man wearing a tiara; below, the shadowy figures of a boy and a girl reading on a gilded background; ornamentation of oak leaves and acorns. Complex decorative composition in black and gold on the spine. Publisher's monogram in black and gold in the center of the second cover. Collection, in hardback, of Delagrave's great children's magazine, launched in imitation of the American Saint Nicholas. Complete stories, contests, riddles, readers' letters... Like all publisher's magazines at the end of the 19th century, like Hetzel's Magasin d'éducation et de récréation, it was Delagrave's editorial backbone, helping to test new authors, prepare the launch of works by established authors, and build customer loyalty. Lavishly illustrated by M. Boutet de Monvel, Adrien Marie, Kauffmann, Geoffroy, Pinchon, Rabier... From 1903, the format changed slightly, and color plates appeared. The years 1897, 1906, 1908 and 1909 are missing, the first three years have suffered a little (faded spines on the first two, flecks on the spine of the third), the last years (1911 to 1914) are really rare. Nice set.
