[Rarebooks] FS: Ah, Parfum!! -Perfumes in Algeria in 1878 & Psychology of Perfumes

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TWO ON PERFUMES-

 - -

TITLE: "Notice sur les Beaux-Arts et Les Parfums"

Published in Paris by Gojosso et cie: 1878.

DISCUSSION: An interesting booklet discussing the fine arts and perfumes
at the Paris Exposition of 1878 as they related to Algeria. The essays are
signed by “O. MacCarthy”, and although the booklet has the imprint “Alger”
on the cover and title page, it was actually printed at the “pres
l’Exposition” on the Boulevard de la Republique for Gojosso et cie.

Gojosso et cie appear to have been the publishers of a variety of
promotional material in France for the Algerian authorities in the 1870s
and 1880s, and the rear cover of this booklet is an announcement by the
“Gouvernement General Civil de l’Algerie” promoting colonization and
agriculture and inviting interested parties to write for more information.
It was during this period that the French government, having invaded
Algeria in 1830 and only just taken full control of the country, was
making a strong effort to send French settlers to Algeria.

French text.  Scarce- OCLC locates only 2 copies.

DESCRIPTION: Softcover. 6”x8.25”, 15 pages; publisher’s pink paper covers.

CONDITION NOTES: Covers a bit soiled, corner creased, lower corner
slightly chipped, but overall in nice condition for such a fragile
booklet.

PRICE: $150-
