1910? Phosphatine Falières Trade Cards. Maurice Leloir. Handmade. Hardbound. Edite par la Phosphatine Falières. $112 from Broli, Miami, FL, through abe, Dec., '13.
This is a handmade book containing 22 of 24 trade cards issued by Phosphatine Falières presenting Florian's fables. Cards 1 and 10 are missing. As it happens, I have twenty-two of the cards of this series; all twenty-two are pictured in the Phosphatine Falières section of non-stock fable cards. Those twenty-two fortunately include the missing #1 and #10. There is one mistake in the order of the cards; the sequence at the middle of this book follows the order 8, 9, 12, 11, 13, 14. A hand put a date of mcmxxxix and some notes on the bottom of each page. The front and back green leather covers present a curious inlaid geometric design. The book is boxed. I have put copies of the two missing cards into the front of the book. The book of course supplies the two missing cards, #11 -- "L'Avare et son Fils" -- and #19 -- "Les deux Chats." I will include the Broli description: "Preciosa colección de tarjetones editados por Phosphatine Falieres c/1910. Son 22 fábulas de Florian (de un total de 24) bellamente ilustradas a color por Maurice Leloir al frente, y al dorso el texto de las mismas en francés. Cada una tiene al pie una pequeña dedicatoria manuscrita en español y fechadas todas 1939. Encuadernadas en cuero verde con diseños geométricos combinados y labrados (c/1940). Con caja. Muy curioso. Castellano Hardcover Leather Bound (Cuero Pleno) Very good condition (Muy buen estado)." "Muy curioso" is right!
1910? Quelques Fables de Florian. Illustrations by Maurice Leloir. Hardbound. Phosphatine Falières. €19 from cousme through Ebay, Oct., '23.
This book is a curiosity. It is made up principally of the 24 cards published and distributed by Phosphatine Falières and printed by Devambez in Paris.. It adds to the cards a leather set of covers, a title-page, a frontispiece of Florian, and -- at the back of the book -- a T of C. It has further a page before the frontispiece to be filled in with the name of the recipient: "Offert a M…par la Maison Chassaing." "Maison Chassaing" sent me on a merry chase on the web. I come away thinking that there are associations here with fine dining and particularly wedding feasts, but that is only an impression. The surprising thing for me is that this "book" is not a homemade album of the complete set but a "professional gift" made up by Falières and given away by a more local entrepreneur. The good news for our collection is that the book brings together into a full set individual items otherwise found in distinct groupings. Compare the home-made album, for which I paid about five times as much!
