Original black and white photographic portrait of Bram Van Velde by Marc Trivier. Portrait of artist, of anonymous figure, of madman, of slaughterhouse or of tree: Marc Trivier photographed each subject with the same interrogative intensity. All realized in the same square format, elementary and closed, without retouching or cropping, the photographs seem less to stage a subject - famous or unknown, elected or fallen, living or dead - than to question a presence. "What interested me was not simply to photograph a body or a face, but that particular situation which is someone in the process of taking a photo of someone else." Trivier strips the work of its effects and reveals the enigmatic...

S. n.|s. l. • [Paris] 1620|10.50 x 17 cm|relié
First edition. Rare.
Half red percale binding, mid-19th century. Gilt title. Anonymous libel that appeared the day after the Duke of Luynes, favorite of Louis XIII, was made Constable. He is accused of all the evils that have befallen France since Louis XIII, and of serving only his own interests by ruining France and abusing so young a king. Charles d'Albert was made Duke of Luynes in 1619, and was the first of this line. Luynes nevertheless served the king skillfully by enabling him, through his intrigues against Marie de Medici and Concini, to accede to power, but gathering all the king's favors, he was hated by the people and many politicians such as Richelieu.
