About This Item

Paris: Emile-Paul Frères , 1931. First edition. Represented for the first time on stage at the Théâtre Pigalle in Paris in November 1931. Illustrated with six engravings by J. E. Laboureur (cover, title, one inset and three chapter headings). One of 200 on vélin d'Arches. Original paperback bound now within a full leather burgundy binding, retaining its covers. Binding signed by E. Kustner. Spine with four raised bands; author and title in gilt. Top edge gilt. A slipcase has been custom made in marbled paper. With a red ribbon bookmark. The leather on the spine has faded. Some offsetting. Overall very good, in a lovely binding. 174 pages. 245 x 200 mm (9¾ x 7¾ inches). From the bookplate, we can see that this book belonged to Helge Loewenberg-Domp. She was a German musician and music (piano) seller of Jewish parents who escaped to the Netherlands before the war. She later went into hiding with her family, and survived the war. (Her brother died in the camps). She was one of the first to import Japanese pianos to the Netherlands. In the 1970's she was knighted to the Order of Orange-Naussau. Three years later, she founded the Helge Domp Foundation for Music for young musicians. She died in 2021. . Première édition. Représenté pour la première fois sur scène au Théâtre Pigalle à Paris en novembre 1931. Illustrée de six gravures de J. E. Laboureur (couverture, titre, un hors-texte et trois têtes-de-chapitre). Un des 200 exemplaires numérotés, sur vélin d'Arches. Broché original relié maintenant dans une reliure plein cuir bordeaux, conservant ses couvertures. Reliure signée par E. Kustner. Dos à quatre nerfs; auteur et titre dorés. Tranche supérieure dorée. Il y a un étui recouvert de papier marbré sur mesure. Le cuir du dos s'est estompé. Avec un signet en ruban. Un bel exemplaire dans une agréable reliure. 174 pages. 245 x 200 mm. De l'ex-libris, on peut voir que ce livre appartenait à Helge Loewenberg-Domp. Elle était une musicienne allemande et vendeuse de musique (piano) de parents juifs qui se sont enfuis aux Pays-Bas avant la guerre. Plus tard, elle s'est cachée avec sa famille et a survécu à la guerre. (Son frère est mort dans les camps). Elle a été l'une des premières à importer des pianos japonais aux Pays-Bas. Dans les années 1970, elle est faite chevalier de l'Ordre d'Orange-Naussau. Trois ans plus tard, elle fonde la Helge Domp Foundation for Music pour les jeunes musiciens. Elle est décédée en 2021.
