INDOCHINA. - LANTHIEZ (Suzanne). Album amicorum, 1909-1959 and undated. In-12, 272 pp. Brown morocco, polychrome floral motif embossed on first board, double ribbed spine, gilt edges, gilt roulette framing inside, burgundy silk lining and endpapers (binding circa 1900). Suzanne Lanthiez (1888-after 1965) : Memories of an artistic life between France and Indochina. This intimate album brings together the artistic and social memories of Suzanne Lanthiez, a French painter who lived for over twenty years in Indochina. Originally from Arras, she married Raoul Bonnal in Hanoi in 1923, a naval officer and senior inspector of the Garde Indigène d'Annam et du Tonkin - with no apparent connection to the eponymous senior resident of Tonkin. Trained as a painter by Ferdinand Humbert, Marie Laforge and Gabrielle Debillemont-Chardon, she exhibited under various pseudonyms: Suzanne Lanthiez de Noreuil (in reference to a village near Arras), Suzanne Bonnal de Noreuil, and Nguyễn Viết Chủ. A treasure trove of encounters. The album features some 175 signatures, dedications, quotations and drawings - some full-page - by musicians, painters, writers, actors and directors, and politicians, including: - Organist and composer Alexandre Georges (p. 2). - Writers Jean Richepin (p. 5 and 156), Paul Morand (p. 136), Tristan Bernard (p. 148), Maurice Rostand and Rosemonde Gérard (1949, p. 173). - Painters Georges Barrière and Joseph Inguimberty, professors at Hanoi's École des Beaux-Arts, with original drawings: a Tonkinoise woman and her child (p. 163) and an Asian scene (p. 127). Yves Brayer (p. 106), Raymond Peynet (with drawing, 1952, p. 180 and 187) - Louis Rollet, with an illustrated dedication from Huế. - Actors and actresses Albert-Lambert (1913, p. 23), Madeleine Roche (p. 66), Jean Marais (p. 115), Cécile Sorel (pp. 118-119), Jean-Louis Barrault and Madeleine Renaud (p. 126), Lucien Guitry (p. 149), Marlène Dietrich (idem), Mary Marquet (p. 176). - Writer Maurice Dekobra, visiting Huế (1934, p. 38). - Philosopher Lucien Lévy-Bruhl, on assignment in Hanoi (1920, p. 85). - Actor and director Jean Vilar (p. 94). - Charlie Chaplin, on tour in Tourane (Đà Nẵng), who leaves a dedication (p. 124). - Emperor Bao Dai and Empress Nam Phương, who sign at Đà Lạt in January 1945, a few weeks before abdication (p. 167). - Political and intellectual personalities, such as François-Marius Baudouin (acting Governor General), Roger Bauduin de Belleval (Director of the Maison de l'Indochine at the Cité Universitaire in Paris), Amédée Thalamas (Director of Public Instruction in Indochina), and the Italian diplomat Carlo Sforza, seen on board the liner Athos en route to Shanghai (1927, p. 129). A self-portrait of Suzanne Lanthiez completes this exceptional collection, witness to an artistic and cosmopolitan life between colonial Indochina and international cultural circles. Inner hinge of first cover cracked. Self-portrait of Suzanne Lanthiez unbound.
