Hermesology

WELCOME

This is the website of seton. I have been a Hermes devotee all of my life and a collector for half of it. This site mostly exists to keep record of my notes. Hermes is a very old company and it's hard to keep track of their vast offerings.

Toward the end of his life, LeDoux worked on the Trois Mousquetaires carre for Hermes. Thirty years earlier, he illustrated Alexandre Dumas’s classic tale in a handsome three volume set. One has just showed up on eBay and the seller has graciously provided many pictures too. Price is 140 Euros.

I dont have the Hermes carre in front of me but on a quick look, I dont see any coinciding scenes with the carre. I think I prefer the scenes in the Hermes carre because they are more action-oriented and more dynamic. If a reader would like to do a side-by-side comparison of the 1948 volume & the carre and provide pictures to share, it would be greatly appreciated. Credit will be given, of course.
