Naud & Georges Carre plus a Photo-Gazette Magazine 25th of Oct.1899 Sizes: see description below in a Buy it Now or Best offer listing Description PLEASE NOTE: I have listed at this time, at a separate listing, another Alphonse Mucha Art Print * Please also --- VIEW my other listings (click blue link " See Other Items " at top right of this page) This is a very historically interesting lot mainly because of the L’Art Photographique brochure or magazine with just C. Naud as the editor on the Mucha art frontispiece is in the possibilities of being the first issue with the print by Alphonse Mucha * in my research, the later issues all have Georges Carre as Editor 1st & C. Naud 2nd. The interesting possibilities being Georges was an investor or more knowledgeable. So I’ll describe this brochure 1st: in very, very good condition * about 6 1/2” wide x 10” tall * 8 pages of very a thin newsprint type of paper * counting covers 8 pages * with two heliogravure photos by G Puyo i.e. a misspelling of the photographer Constant Puyo of which these works of are known * the two art illustrations are by an artist Paul Rudy who only is known for a few paintings. The tiny figures jumping into & out of the camera. Way cool IMO * all of these brochures, etc. show printing press indents in the paper. angled to light the two Puyo show typing type The 2nd brochure: the Mucha print page is numbered 3 i.e. the front cover is originally the page with “Album Louis Geisler” * in OK condition * some small stains, a folded corner * about 6 3/4” wide x about 10 1/2” tall. the same size as the Photo-gazette magazine * also a thinner paper the 3rd Mucha piece is a trial print of the Photo-Gazette magazine *** it's in Good condition * it’s on a light yellow thicker type paper just like the actual magazine covers * it’s 15 3/8” wide x 11 3/8” tall * it is folded with lines of * a couple tears in the fold of The Photo-Gazette Magazine is about 6 3/4” wide x about 10 1/2” tall * it has two types of paper, a very thin brown type & a thicker white * there is a Phototypie photo of lightning by M. Chamalet * it has a tissue paper over but was placed between the brown pages so has acid discoloration & some foxing * the overall condition is OK. some folds, tears & foxing * it has 10 leafs i.e. 20 pages of the brown paper and 20 pages of white with articles & some basic print photos * the cool thing are the ads pages on brown paper with lots of cameras & such Just basic info: all 3 of the Mucha prints area size, is the same size * I think the later issues of L’ART were more pages of * there was a later issue of, that had a colorized print of this Mucha Cover Page as a fold out, I think, like a poster lithograph but I’m not sure exactly what it was. It sells at auctions. They now sell new posters of that colorized version * there are no odors in any of these from moisture for example. the foxing occurred a long time ago * on ebay in one sellers listings are two bound books of PHOTO-GAZETTE one having a date of 1899-1900 another listing 1901-1902 but I don’t think they have the Mucha artwork. Another listing has one book 1897-1898, another listing 1903-1904, titled 14th year of? they all don’t describe very much * type in only PHOTO-GAZETTE in search to find on ebay. in long conclusion of, the C. Naud only version is rare. * Major museums have some of L’ART plus in their collections * interesting is the C. Naud only print * the date of in the Mucha signature is 99 i.e. 1899 Payment, Shipping and Policies If you have LESS THAN 10 + FEEDBACK, please send a simple Hi, introduction, email, before bidding Payment : Ebay.
