The lot consists of four volumes. Two volumes encompassing the first period, numbers 1 to 76 with the original binding, and another two volumes forming the second period, covering numbers 77 to 100, bound in period half leather.The Pèl i Ploma magazine was the artistic publication that most typified Catalan Modernism. Founded as a weekly in Barcelona on June 3, 1899, it became a monthly starting from issue number 77 (June 1901) and ceased publication at number 100 (December 1903).Owned and artistically directed by Ramon Casas, Miquel Utrillo was literary director and contributors included Eugeni d'Ors, Joan Maragall and Apel.les Mestres, among others. Illustrators included Casas himself, Isidro Nonell, Picasso, Santiago Rusiñol, Joaquín Mir, Anglada Camarasa, Pichot, Gosé, Sorolla, etc.Pèl i Ploma's typographic presentation was of extremely high quality. Editions were published in both Catalan and Spanish and included articles in French.The magazine started as a weekly, to then become a monthly publication with artistic drawings. Ramon Casas, along with friends, was responsible for the material and artistic aspects of the magazine. Other artists like Ramon Pichot, Isidre Nonell, and Pablo Ruiz Picasso also contributed drawings.The collaboration expanded to writers like Eduard Marquina, Manuel de Montoliu, Eugeni de Ors, Joan Maragall, and many others. Joan Maragall, for example, published several compositions, including poems and articles.Pèl i Ploma evolved into a monthly art magazine, printed in the Thomas workshops, with excellent presentation and abundant illustrations of artworks in various colours. Notable contributors in this period included Francesc Rosselló, Xavier Viura, Fèlix Escalas, Josep M. Jordà, Jacint Verdaguer, Josep M. Sert, Jaume Massó i Torrent, J. Torres-García, Salvador Vilaregut, and others. Literary contributions were in Catalan, Spanish, and French.A significant aspect of Pèl i Ploma was the friendship between Ramon Casas and Santiago Rusiñol, leading to the dedicated pages of drawings and paintings by Rusiñol and the publication of his literary works.The 100th issue featured portraits of Barcelona journalists, drawn by Ramon Casas, serving as a tribute to the local press, marking the conclusion of Pèl i Ploma in December 1903.While it was stated that Pèl i Ploma was possibly the best magazine ever published, such claims are maybe exaggerated. However, the efforts of Ramon Casas and Miquel Utrillo throughout those hundred issues were exemplary in terms of enthusiasm and generosity. Pèl i Ploma did not entirely disappear with its extraordinary 100th issue, as its animators published another magazine a year later, named "Forma," in the same format and style. Pèl i Ploma, continuing the legacy of "Quatre gats" and the artistic and literary groundwork initiated by "L’Avenç" and "Catalònia," represented the triumph of Catalan Modernism, particularly in its visual aspect, and introduced the spirit of European renewal to Catalonia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
