Carlos Schwabe’s poster from 1892 for the first of Jos\u00e9phin P\u00e9ladan’s art and music Salons de la Rose + Croix. The “S\u00e2r” Peladan’s imposition on the artistic life of Paris in the 1890s may have the smack of a vanity project but he caused enough of a stir to give Rosicrucianism an unlikely fashionabilty for a while. The roster of contributing artists<\/a> is also impressive, almost a who’s who of Symbolist art. There were six salons in all, the last being in 1897. The poster for the fifth salon<\/a> by Armand Point & L\u00e9onard Sarluis shows Perseus holding the decapitated head of \u00c9mile Zola. The evangelist of literary realism was one of Symbolism’s arch-enemies but that didn’t prevent Carlos Schwabe from producing illustrations for Le R\u00eave<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The pages below are from Peladan’s many books, La Queste du Graal: Proses Lyriques de l’\u00c9thop\u00e9e; La D\u00e9cadence Latine<\/em><\/a> (1892). The illustrations aren’t the best reproductions, and they aren’t the greatest artworks either, but they give a sense of what Peladan wanted to see embellishing his own brand of artistic mysticism. Gallica has a Salon de la Rose + Croix catalogue<\/a> (also from 1892) but like many of the documents archived there the quality leaves a lot to be desired.<\/p>\n
