| Notes | Part of the Charles Ramsden Collection of Signed Bindings. See Julien Flety, Dictionnaire des reliures francais ayant exerce de 1800 a nos jours, 1988. Macchi states; first half century, Paris, bound by Simier. Different binders of this name are known: 1) René: he is not mentioned in the 1797-1798 Almanac. Tradition states that he left the army about 1798 and devoted himself to binding, and the 1847 Almanch refers to the form as founded in 1800. Between 1809-1812 he appears to have been the "Binder to the Empress Marie Louise", and in 1826 "Simier Père et Fils" are listed in the Almanach as "Binders to the King", Madame and the Duc de Bordeaux". His appearances in the Almanachs seem to range from 1809-1826, when the entry becomes "Père et Fils". He possibly died shortly after (1826). He received a Medal of Honour in 1819 and he or his firm received various awards over the succeeding thirty years. His variety and technique were superb; he had no superior and few rival during his career. His first address in 1809 seems to have been Neuve-des Bons-Enfants 35, from whence he moved in 1814 to St. Honoré 152. H. Béraldi however (Les reliures, I, p. 35) gives his address in 1810 as Passage Radziwill, which leads out of Neuve-des-Bons-Enfants to rue Valois; 2) Alphonse, fils: he appears on his own in 1821 at Bertin Poirée 6 in the 1821 Almanach and then in 1826 appears with his father at rue St. Honoré 152 where he carried on the business under the family name after his father's death (C. Ramsden, French bookbinders, p. 190); 3) Jean (?): this binder who appears in the 1847-1849 Almanachs is reputed to be a nephew of the elder Simier. An identical example is kept in Bruxelles, Bibliotheca Wittockiana, Relieurs et reliures, 1995, p. 129, n. 56. | |||
