Précieuses reliures d’une bibliophile — Collection Georgette J. Salles 

Vertès, Marcel ─ Francis Carco L’Amour vénal. Paris, [La Roseraie], 1926. In-4 (248 x 188 mmm) Maroquin vert bouteille, décor d’inspiration cubiste à caissons mosaïqués (guitare, archet, vaguelettes, porte avec judas), fers et filets dorés et à l'oeser, avec titre courant sur les deux plats, incrustation d’une grille métallique, doublure mosaïquée d’un décor de portes battantes en maroquin rouge et noir, gardes de soie, chemise, étui (Paul Bonet, [1929]). Reliure cubiste à éléments métalliques de Paul Bonet. De la bibliothèque Carlos R. Scherrer, l’un des plus grands commanditaires de Paul Bonet. Exemplaire personnel de Vertès, avec dessins originaux. Un des exemplaires hors commerce sur Hollande (justifié HC), tirés en plus des 69 exemplaires sur ce papier, d’un tirage total à 95 exemplaires. Illustré de 43 eaux-fortes de Vertès (vignette gravée sur la couverture et la page de titre, frontispice, 15 figures libres à pleine page, 14 vignettes dans le texte et 11 culs-de-lampe). Exemplaire de Vertès, spécialement imprimé pour lui, enrichi de : - 2 ou 3 suites selon les gravures (premier état, avec remarques, sur Chine) ; - 3 dessins originaux signés, contrecollés en tête (mine de plomb et aquarelle sur papier à en-tête du bar Le Sélect à Montparnasse ; pierre noire, mine de plomb et aquarelle ; plume, encre noire et mine de plomb). L’un des grands collectionneurs de reliures de Bonet : l’argentin Carlos R. Scherrer fut l'un des commanditaires majeurs de Paul Bonet dans les années 1930, l’une des périodes les plus fécondes et les plus novatrices du relieur. Ces nombreuses commandes et celles de M. Marly permirent à Bonet de s’établir définitivement comme relieur et d’abandonner le métier de modéliste (Carnets, 78b). Le grand nombre de reliures commandées par Scherrer donnèrent lieu au catalogue de la Bibliothèque reliée par Paul Bonet (1963), un ouvrage de référence. Exécutée en 1929 et exposée au Salon des artistes décorateurs de 1930, cette reliure fait partie des quelques rares et précieuses reliures incorporant un élément métallique : un judas que l’on imagine placé sur les portes du bordel où où se déroule le roman de Carco ; la doublure est décorée de portes battantes surmontées d’un cœur. Les Carnets de Bonet résument ainsi la composition : "décor schématique, synthétisant le décor de l’amour vénal". Avec ce décor cubiste, la filiation avec Pierre Legrain est évidente : à la mort de Legrain en 1929, Bonet reconnut son influence prépondérante : "il avait su voir le cubisme et l’art abstrait, personne encore dans le petit monde de la reliure ne s’en était avisé […] je dois tout à Pierre Legrain […] car sans lui je ne sais pas si je serais relieur. […] Je lui dois aussi d’être moi-même. Dès mes premiers essais, j’eus la volonté cachée, mais tenace, d’être un jour son égal ; donc d’échapper à son emprise […] Je n’ai jamais connu personnellement Legrain ; il est mort à 40 ans ; il était mon contemporain par l’âge, pourtant il est mort, tandis que je naissais" (juillet 1929, Carnets, 88).
