Petites Scènes Familières. Pour Piano
Bonnard, Pierre
Paris. E. Fromont. 1893
Charles Terrasse's musical scores with Bonnard's lithograph illustrations - one of his earliest works - together with the exceptionally rare signed suite on Chine.
The exceptionally rare suite of the 19 prints printed without text and with each image signed by Bonnard with his initials, in brush, either in scarlet or blue.
There were only some 20 copies printed of these proofs, all on sheets of Chine paper and without text.
Terrasse's music for children. Illustrated by Bonnard, this is one of his earliest illustrative projects and has been cited as his first, although the listing of 'Petit Solfège Illustré' on the list of published works makes it clear that that work precedes this. Terrasse had married Bonnard's sister Andrée in 1890, so it appears natural that he should choose his brother-in-law to illustrate the work. Bonnard, Terrasse and Alfred Jarry later established the 'Théâtre des Pantins' together in 1898.
