Illustrated Wraps. Condición: Very Good. Vincent, Rene; Leonnec, Georges; Giris, Cesar et al (illustrators) Ilustrador. First Edition. Paris: La Vie Parisienne, 1917. The Decembre 29, 1917 Issue (55e annee, No 52). Illustrations by Rene Vincent, Cesar Giris, Georges Leonnec et al. Text in French. Illustrated wraps, folio (13.75" x 10.5"), 19 pp. (1159 through 1177 for the 1917 year), plus 1 unnumbered ad leaf and covers. Slender, but at folio size a bit too large for full scans. Some cover soiling, wrinkling, wear and small scale chips; contents sharp, bright, Very Good overall. Glossy covers; first and last few internal pages are on newsprint, else all glossy. Rather spectacular full-page color illustrations by Leonnec, Giris, Vincent et al, front cover ("Est-ce vous le grand enfant qui veut.une poupee pour son jour de l'an?", which I believe means, roughly, "Are you the Big Baby who wants.a doll for your birthday?", featuring a winter-clad but nonetheless fetching young lady pointing at us, and Giris' "Petite Secousse au Vieux Marcheur" on the rear cover. Mild nudity sporadically in these issues, but quite soft. All of the full page efforst are eminently frame-able, and at this time of a sensibility midway-evolved between nouveau and deco, as is much of the uncredited b&w illustration. An original - and of course first and only edition - of the 12/29/1917 issue of this memorable and long-lived French weekly offering of very soft, very artful light erotica. The captioned illustrations by the eminent luminaries named above are what what really "make" this issue (as was generally the case through the era), but cartoons, serial fiction and around-town pieces nicely compliment those. Gorgeous, oversized large color illustrations are what you collect these for. l-lng1.
