Wanted
book about a department store at the Louvre

Although this beautiful book, which has become over time a star indisputable for all books, almost a chimera, is now well known and listed, few collectors have actually seen with their eyes seen. And maybe they did not look well enough, as surprising as it may seem ...
I also launching an appeal today to those of you who have been so fortunate.
Why?
Because I noticed recently that there were probably two different models of this rare book. And nobody to this day no one had worried!

It is true that few fans are seriously concerned that the documentation on the subject is not very rich in photos of this rare and elusive bird ... The public sale nor do we are not useful: To my knowledge, only three copies have come on the market for thirty years, including one incomplete. Add that their owners do not always show happy to just anyone, what we can easily understand.

The recent magnificent work and specialized books, published by Yvert et Tellier and represents the work of our friends and Coutan Patrick Lucien Reynaud, has in any case already allowed to approach the date of birth: one thing is for sure The printing took place in November 1924, probably on Tuesday 18 to be quite accurate.

Book bottom sheet of 10 stamps - 140 C14

Printed apparent. Cutting the bottom sheet does not leave us to guess more, alas.

Most observers have certainly had occasion to remark that "pubs" in this book of 10 stamps in all respects similar to those on the left panel of booklets of 20 stamps, and not those of panel right, which is curious enough in itself!

Why, in the manufacture of the plate used to print it, have been selected on the left panel rather than the right pane, and alternatively why not both? Unless making a book of 10 has preceded the book 20? The mystery continues ...


The good to take in the museum post, is indeed at the pub, that we knew about the book issued:

In addition, a handwritten note "November 1924" is visible while the right to take the booklet of 20 stamps carries him a grade of "November / December 1924", suggesting that the printing of that book is later, but nothing is certain ...

-----------------

Booklet of 20 stamps - 140 C13

All 20 books have these same ads in their left pane (similar to the booklet of 10 stamps)

This difference in the pubs of their panels left and right, moreover, allowed so far identified some as being isolated from one rather than one of these books. The first being, as we have understood, much rarer than the second, this is important. Especially when, as in my case, it would simply be happy with a single isolated, failing to afford the book 10! The book
Dr. Braun described very well in its time differences noticeable between the various pubs in different boxes.

Where stamps blocks 5 and 10 of this famous book of 10, with their corner of the sheet with perforations in the margin stops, they can not be combined with any of the stamps from the notebooks of 20 stamps.
The illustrations below will be more telling:

Boxes 5 and 10 of 10 book (with the right BDF)

Cases 5 and 15 of the booklet of 20
(with inter-toothed panel)

If one day you find a stamp these cases 5 or 10, or a block, or even a whole book, I'm interested, you'll understand!

-----------------

Knowing as I do now this feature, you will see with new eyes the two right panels sold recently: one is really rare.
you recognize him?
Book of 10

Book of 20

It is true that the difference is obvious, especially when they are side by side.
The first was it sold better than the second, for the same starting price? Well no! Exactly the same price to the nearest euro!
The seller even described the latter as being more rare, due to a hazy impression, which is actually very common for this stamp!

-----------------

But that's not all: new twist in the case these days!
Surprise: rummaging through my archives, that's not you it's not that I found an old photo of another book of 10?
And would you believe it (and himself) does not include pubs that we know, but rather similar to those of the right panel booklet of 20!

only book known to date with this type of advertising
(neither high nor low leaf, and lost sight of since 1970)

What is believed to date is a priori false, it seems exist not one but two different models of pubs to enclose the stamps of this famous book!

is looking for the latter type of book that I ask you to participate.

Recognize that the description a little higher on blocks 5 and 10 is no longer valid here, but the rest for books of 10 stamps classics.

And finally, as I was so well done remarked a friend, amateur:
"Too bad for you! Now it does not you miss one, but two books of 10 at the Louvre! .. "

-----------------

We have already seen that this discovery could in no case affect the bottom sheet, which confirm the following two books:

second book bottom sheet (lost to since 1987)

bottom of the third book sheet (seen on the cover of the book by Mr Teissier)

It can not be either from the top of the sheet, as the following is also the "classic type":

only book up sheet known to date (BDF higher non-serrated)

This does not ALL books intermediate board (which are four in number since the printed board 6 books) because the latter example, the "classic" is neither a low nor a high leaf:

Last book, unfortunately still held hostage by its owner!

All this certainly explains that hardly anyone noticed this for 85 years !
Unless it be of an inexplicable photomontage of the time,
because it is true that I never saw the book in question myself.

Maybe one of our readers can tell us more? ...

I will not hide my pleasure to share my good fortune to be able to see near or far these notebooks, virtually gathered here for the first time: they are, in my opinion, only the 6 books of 10 stamps known. Unless one of you hides ... And of course I extend a huge THANK YOU to the lucky owners for their precious help!

A world in itself for someone else ...


To reread it not so long ago Letters to a Young Poet, I often think back to this little book to be one of those (few) works in which an ethic for life - an ethic for all aspects of a full human life - is contained in a few pages sensitive, intelligent, bright.
on love and women, for example, Rilke's views are a striking modernity:

[love] is for the individual, an extraordinary chance to mature, to become in self, to become a world, a world in itself for someone else is for him a great and immodest ambition, something that distinguishes him and calls out to sea. [...] One day, the girl will come and the woman, whose name will no longer mean only that which is opposed to the masculine, but something that is by itself, something that does not induce any thinking complementarity and no limit, but only one life and existence: the human female.

To think well there, there is little that The Prophet by Khalil Gibran which seems equivalent to the simplicity of expression and the brightness of his remarks.

even less distinct curls, her lace

fawn all of which are
hunters and the best armed

or a flaw in the night unable to shake
the wall, or trap
flavored fruit dripping fruit,
but would look - and tears.

Recipe: Spaghetti Squash with sausage meat

At last a first recipe with spaghetti squash.

I prepare for 4 people (actually, 2 adults and 2 children and he remains a bit for the next day;))

There are two versions to this recipe, depending on the time available. (Of course, the long version is better than the fast version;)

Fast version:
So here are the ingredients: 1 spaghetti squash
course
500g of sausage meat
of garlic and onion
a little grated cheese


To begin, I cook the squash cut in half in the oven, after removing the heart of the fruit. (See my article Cooking spaghetti squash )

During baking the squash, I chop the garlic and onion that I'm back in a large skillet with a little oil. I then add the sausage meat and I cook everything.

Once cooked squash, I fill each half of the prepared stuffing squash before, I sprinkled the cheese and I put in the oven to brown the cheese quickly. Then I serve!

Here is the result image:



The mixture between squash and stuffing is done directly on the plate.

Long version:

In the long version, the joke is more complete and there is cooking with squash in the oven so that the spaghetti take the taste of the stuffing;)

So here are the ingredients:
1 spaghetti squash always
500g of sausage meat
of garlic and onion parsley

an egg
grated gruyere

As for the fast version, I first cook the squash in the oven.
I make the stuffing by mixing all ingredients except Gruyere (having finely chopped garlic and onion;)) in a bowl.
Once cooked squash, I takes a portion of spaghetti that I mix with the stuffing and I put everything in the two squash halves.
J'enfourne squash and garnished for thirty minutes. Once finished cooking I sprinkle with cheese (not too) and I will return to grill to brown the squash halves!

It only remains to serve!

Recent comments: I use the sausage in this recipe. You can use a mixture of sausage and beef or even only beef if you want a lower fat dish but attention, is drier than beef sausage meat!
Personally, I prefer the version without the beef because I find it smoother ... A

your kitchen and tell me what you thought of this recipe!

cooking spaghetti squash in my garden

Cooking spaghetti squash is a subject that comes up.
There are several methods:
- the firing of two half-baked squash
- cooking the squash whole oven
- boiling water
- the steaming
- cooking in the microwave wave

After several attempts, I now practice cooking the squash cut in half baked. In
Indeed, I find that cooking the squash whole is too long (and it is difficult to control the cooking of the squash).
The boiling or steaming requires cutting the squash into pieces and the risk of overcooking the squash is great! In this case, we obtain a puree instead of spaghetti and pleasure is not the same!
When cooking in microwave oven, well I've never tried:) So here

, supporting photographs, how I cooked my spaghetti squash:
- I preheat my oven to 180 ° C
- I cut my squash in half lengthways the

- I remove the heart of the fruit (which contains seeds)


- j'enfourne two pieces obtained hot skin against the plate
- I baked for 40 minutes

Some people recommend turning the squash halfway through cooking, but I do not do it.
With this method, my pumpkins are always cooked as it should, to my delight!

As I am lucky enough to have a large garden, I grow several types of squash.
Among the existing squash, and more beautiful squash Spaghetti, I am pleased to see growing zucchini and pumpkins (I have grown pumpkins last year but I do not like so I changed his chair variety).

To make a good crop, j'amende my ground with cow manure and compost with garden (which I also use for flowers). I realize
traditional compost without activator but a little manure nettle I nevertheless reserves mainly my tomato plants!

Culture of spaghetti squash

I just ate my first spaghetti squash house of the year and I told myself that really, this fruit is extra!

So I decided to launch a humble blog (just that) on the subject.
In this post I'll explain how to grow spaghetti squash and in the following posts I probably would suggest revenues.

The spaghetti squash is as its name implies, a plant of the family Cucurbita pepo (wow it makes pro!) Such as squash, zucchini, pumpkins and squash.

are sown squash in bunches of several seeds from March to April and leaves the plants after the last frost because the squash does not like the cold. (But maybe not at all!)

plants obtained should be planted in the ground and be widely spaced because of spaghetti squash spreads (a bit like the pumpkin) and occupies much space. Squash loves soil cool and well-smoked, it also needs lots of water to give good bur. Spaghetti Squash

produces fruit oval 20 to 30 cm long weighing up to 4 kg. The fruit skin is smooth, and what makes it special, when cooked, the flesh firm provides long filaments that look like spaghetti ... !
Taste of these filaments and fairly neutral and very mild, which allows it to accommodate a bit like pasta:)

Each plant produces about squash 2-5 fruit in 100 days (when I read it but personally I still have 2 pieces of fruit on my foot and I hope he does not stop there as the season is not over! Next year I plant 2 feet first!). The conservation of the squash can last over a year making it an excellent product care!

This afternoon, I ate my squash like pasta bolognese ... I would give you the recipe to the next post!

Why collect vintage? Overview

Firstly because it is a nice presentation for the stamps, proudly flanking their year of birth.

Because we find easily, and at all prices.

Either we never find, for some!

Secondly, because the word is beautiful, evoking both the enjoyment of fine wines from our vineyards, the recent song by Pascal Obispo.

Because most of the type Sower stamps were printed several years, and we can trace their lives change paper or ink with an infinite range of possible shades, and even new types more or less rare.

And also because there are true rarities, which are also not necessarily those that we believe, if we rely only course catalog or market prices.

Some examples:

There are two types of 35 cents with purple markings lean, known as Number 136.

Both were printed in 1906, thus: the same vintage 6. The distinction

type I / type II is not always easy, but remains essential for the collector: one is very rare, while the other is easy for most traders (although it should pay enough when the even)!

Why?

Because the first edition was much shorter than the second!

As the design of the type I was not satisfactory, it adopted its manufacturing process to refinish it, and then printed the type II, a little more successful.

The width of the bridge makes all the difference: it is the distance separating the two stamps (boxes 15 and 16) on either side of the vintage.

Type I has a bridge much broader than the type II. Few people know, be careful!

************

With a little luck and some effort, you'll find pretty varieties paper It has the following two extremes: The famous

X paper, high quality, with its recognizable striated gum, which was used here in 1915

(striations that can be seen on the face sometimes)

And the equally famous paper GC (for FMCG) used restriction period during the war, between 1916 and 1920, thus much lower quality. There are many nuances.

************

The width of the bridge, the type of paper, or even that of the stamp, can also sometimes very useful for some stamps, to distinguish between two vintages printed 10 years apart: nothing like as much to an August 1, 1908 8 of 1918 ...

Look carefully at this 3 vintages: they are much different than it appears at first sight!

It is 1913, type IA

This one is from 1923, still in the Type IA: the + bridge is narrow.

While the latter is also in 1923, but the type IIIA, which is much rarer, and from a punch quite different (note Based on 2 thick).

************

Sometimes the year is missing: and this is quite rare, even unique!

Especially some of which we know only one copy!

I've seen them all, but only in photography for some, unfortunately unaffordable ...

The 5 cent green vintage is still without him ...

But attention, there is a trap for 10 cents Sower with soil, no year is normal for the first draw, while the second draw perform well on 6 of 1906. We will see one day why ...

To my knowledge, no vintage can occur for the following stamps:

- 130-134 - 135 - 137-138 - 140 - 158 -

and perhaps other still to discover ...

Cervical Mucus For A Week

printing Close

With regard to the type Sower stamps, two letterpress printing modes were used:

- flatbed printing

- the presses

latter, more modern only appeared in 1922, and gradually take the place technique previously used for lack of anything better, since 1903.

He obviously existed long transition period during which the two techniques were used at the same time period mainly occupied by our favorite stamps, which makes them so interesting.

Indeed, Technical change involved an adaptation of the material, and creating new tools for print, very often the cause of the different known types for a single stamp: the differences are sometimes only visible under the microscope, and doing all the charm of these stamps.

's passion for many collectors stamps in current use, as for the type Sower, can not exist without the extraordinary diversity that characterizes them: the record back to 25 cents blue will be up to seven distinct types ! And it's not a coincidence that the sower the most collected.

To each technique, flat or rotary, the various presentations known meet:

- leaves sales "normal"

- the notebooks and sheets prepared for

books - the tapes and sheets " casters "

It starts to get complicated ... and it is not finished: it promises! ...

Knowledge of these technical requirements and the different possible presentations of the same stamp, can easily discover beautiful collector coins, or even exceptional items, to the detriment those who ignore them (which is still the case for many merchants and / or collectors!).

It can even do without a magnifying glass, sometimes ...

Lets see what characterizes

each presentation,

and what it gave to collectors:

- leaves the sales are flat 150 stamps and gave them vintages, which provides information on the year print. The inscriptions on the lower edge of these leaves are also the current date, month, press, and an initial technician! These inscriptions are on the left or right more often!

Here is a pair with its vintage (1915)

- leaves the rotary sales are 100 stamps and gave the corners dated , always located on the lower right and numbered lower left.

Ah yes ! I forgot to tell you a tour of the printing cylinder gives two sheets of 100 stamps,

dated and therefore two different corners. Yes, yes! look carefully: they are different!

- the flat books can sometimes reveal the inscriptions of the lower of original sheet to the left. They include 10, 20, 30 or 40 stamps. They occur with or without advertising on their covers, or margins.

A nice printed book flat, without advertising (type IV)

Here: the left part of a book flat with advertising, showing the date of 29 August ( 1924),

book that was printed on the press 10 under the supervision of Mr. S.

- the rotary books can sometimes reveal a number to the left, and then even a date, right. They are always 20 stamps and are available with or without advertising.

A very rare book with advertising and rotating numbered
(with an insulated box 11: the most discerning will appreciate the rarity, while others will wait ...)

- leaves the "caster" flat are 150 stamps with their vintages recognizable, and their inscriptions from the bottom sheet.

All vintage topped by two rows of stamps (or more) is from a sheet "wheels"

that is why we can recognize them!


- the sheets "wheels" are rotating 100 stamps with their dated corners located on the left margin, as their numbers this time!

- the bands "casters" , sometimes so rare, are collected by six or eleven stamps (or more), but their rapid identification requires that there be more than five stamps for printing flat, and over 10 stamps for printing presses. Unless the type is identifiable by unit, which is not often the case, even with a good magnifying glass and the best documentation you can find!

It is a marvel, the rarest of all, and it is accompanied by a guard band which was used to wrap up the coil! NB has the value of a Ferrari, for fans ...


You will understand why 6 or 11 stamps, once you have seen a sales sheet "normal" flat, and a rotary. Indeed, from these "normal" leaves, you can not get + a vertical strip of five stamps for printing flat, and not more than ten stamps for rotary printing, just ...

This piece of sheet "normal" for understanding that we can not draw better than a vertical strip of 5 stamps. On the other hand, there can be only one row of stamps over the vintage.

I warned you that this would be complicated ...
you imagine all that we can have fun collecting: what to occupy a lifetime!
Especially since each stage of manufacture may be malfunctioning, and be the cause of beautiful varieties, much appreciated by fans.

For those interested in the stamps of wheels: will amaze you and enjoy the erudition of a specialist:
