Beschreibung:

CHAS LABORDE Rues et Visages de Berlin. Paris, Éditions de la Roseraie, etchings (on Arches wove paper, 6 on Japan paper, 3 coloured), 27,5 x cm, unsigned (occ. foxing, without official portfolio). A nice collection of the series depicting the Interbellum Berlin in all its cosmopolitan grandeur, illustrating a text by the French politician and playwright Jean Giraudoux' impressions of Berlin. He travelled around there a great deal, and was even the home tutor for the duke of Saxony-Meiningen in Munich for a short time. He was the right man for a well-informed story about Berlin, and the book certainly excelled because of its historical background information, anecdotes, and original observations. Giraudoux would also parody the German customs and habits. There were two separate series of etchings: one set in black-and-white and one in colour. This lot combines copies from the two different states, with 7 doubles. Ref. G. Laborde, Charles Laborde Alfortville,Quatre Feuilles,
