About This Item
Paris: Editions d'Art Risacher et Cie.. Wraps. Very Good. Short inscription and signature of Bellaigue on FFEP. Scarce, with no copies located anywhere. N.d., circa 1920s. 4to. 24 by 16 cm. 16 leaves, with color plates and humorous captions and text bubbles all on rectos. This was a humorous promotional publication of Radiola, a French maker of radio receivers in the 1920s. J. C. Bellaigue (1893-1931), son of belletrist Camille Bellaigue, was a French book, magazine and poster illustrator known especially for his depictions of early aviation. He also was a designer for the French national carpet and tapestry manufacturer of Beauvais. The humor is all about preposterous accidents, frustrations and screw-ups relating to radios from when radios were a real novelty. Much of the same humor might with slight variation be applied to our PCs, iPhones, iPads, etc. The caricatures in the drawings are funny even without the specifics of the particular situation. Light use.
