About the Item
BRADLEY, WILL
(1868 - 1962)
The Chap Book
Original lithograph from “Les Maitres de L’Affiche” series
Printed by Imprimerie Chaix, Paris
Bearing MDL stamp lower right, from issue #34, 1898. Plate #136
Unframed Size: 11 3/8 x 15 3/4”
The “Les Maitres de l’Affiche” series was offered as a subscription series to collectors every month
for 60 months, from December 1895 through November 1900. The “Maitres de l’Affiche,” were issued
as separate numbered sheets, referred to as “plates”. They were numbered, with the printers name
“Imprimerie Chaix,” in the margin at the bottom left hand corner, “PL.1” to “PL.240.” In the margin at
the bottom right hand corner of each, is a blind embossed stamp from a design of Cheret’s. The smaller
format and the fact the “Maitres” were a paid subscription series, allowed Imprimerie Chaix to use the
latest state of the art printing techniques, not normally used in the large format posters due to cost. A very
high quality of paper was used, where as the large format posters were printed on lesser quality newsprint,
due to cost and a short expected life span. This explains why the quality of the printing, in the “Maitres de
l’Affiche,” usually far exceeds that of their larger counterparts.
“In 1894 two Harvard students, Stone and Kimball, came up with an idea for a magazine called ‘The Chap
Book’ that would cover literary and artistic news not normally covered in major journals, including the
notion of regarding posters as an art form. Although not meant to be more than college high-jinks, the
tiny curiosity surprised the two by prospering and became enough of a hit that when they returned to their
native Chicago, they continued to publish it there for some years. Bradley contributed to the success of
the original issues of The Chap Book with store counter placards such as this one and created a total of
five designs for the publication. This is the only black and white. The influence of Art Nouveau, is clearly
apparent, and tender, romantic image piques our interest in the ‘curious and interesting songs, ballads,
tales histories etc.’ promised in the text below” (Gold p.75)

This explains why the quality of the printing, in the "Maitres de l'Affiche," usually far exceeds that of their larger counterparts. The text reads "Great Tileworks of Ivry, founded in 1854, Ivry-Port near Paris; the largest ceramics factory in the world for building, industry and art productions; Emille Muller stoneware; execution of works by masters of statuary; architectural facings; decorative sculpture; showroom and salesroom, 3 rue Halevy; the only tile able to bear the names Muller and Ivry; (tiles) guaranteed against frost" Given the commission for an extremely text heavy poster, the artist executes a masterful design. The angelic young boy holds the wares of this famous ceramics factory, against an abstract background awash in organic green hues. The handling of the immense text that flows from top to bottom in every available space shows great artistic skill, as the overall beauty of the design is intact.

- Paris sans finBy Alberto GiacomettiLocated in London, GBFirst edition, from the edition of 250 copies on Vélin d’Arches from a total edition of 270; large 4to (42.2 x 32 cm); artist’s signature stamp to limitation page, 150 lithographs after Giacometti, loose as issued in publisher's printed wrappers, glassine wrappers, cloth chemise and slipcase. Giacometti’s testament to art and modern life in his beloved Paris. For Tériade it would be a milestone, the last great publication he would see through the press. The two men [Tériade and Giacometti] had maintained a close friendship ever since the Surrealist Years. The one hundred and fifty lithographs are a profoundly interpenetrating view of Giacometti's experience of Paris. He selected the plates to be printed and determined the order of their relationship, numbering each one. The frontispiece shows a nude figure of a woman plunging forward, as though diving into space, and is immediately followed by a quantity of views of city streets, then of interiors familiar to the artist. We come upon views of his studio, of the cafes he frequented, of Annette's apartment in the rue Mazarine and Caroline's in the Avenue du Maine, strangers at cafe tables, passers by, parked automobiles, the towers of Saint-Suplice, bridges across the Seine, The Eiffel Tower. To accompany the hundred and fifty plates, a text of twenty pages was planned, but the artist never got further than a few rough drafts. True, he was a devotee of words, Paris sans fin, however, said too much to the eye to be in need of other symbols (James Lord...Category
