''De ce livre date la rÂŽnovation de l'illustration ˆ l'aide de gravures sur bois''. in Rahir.

Certains exemplaires fortement et uniformÂŽment roussis ont pu Âtre vendus comme exemplaires sur papier chamois''. in Clouzot. Pourtant. : ''L'Histoire du roi de BohÂme et de ses sept ch‰teaux se vendit si peu que Delangle dut liquider sa maison d'ÂŽdition''. in AdhÂŽmar. ''La gravure exÂŽcutÂŽe avec une grande finesse fait pressentir la largeur d'exÂŽcution que nous trouverons pour la premiÂre fois dans le Gil Blas illustrÂŽ par Jean Gigoux quelques annÂŽes aprÂs''. in Brivois. ''Porret a finement gravÂŽ les compositions de Tony Johannot. Cette merveilleuse exÂŽcution marque en 1830 la date de la rÂŽnovation de la gravure sur bois qui va se poursuivre en 1835 avec le Gil Blas de Gigoux''. in Carteret. ''Le gožt pour l'image dans le public est tel que les ÂŽditeurs avisÂŽs tels que Delangle ou Hetzel demandent d'abord des illustrations ˆ un artiste et font ensuite seulement imaginer par une histoire ˆ un homme de lettres qui s'inspire des illustrations pour la raconter. C'est le cas du Roi de BohÂme et surtout de celui du Voyage o il vous plaira''. in AdhÂŽmar. ''Ë partir des annÂŽes 1830 gr‰ce ˆ la mise au point du procÂŽdÂŽ de la lithographie et de la gravure sur bois de bout permettant d'obtenir une finesse comparable ˆ celle de la gravure sur cuivre sans nÂŽcessiter un deuxiÂme passage en machine l'ÂŽdition conna”t une prolifÂŽration d'images de plus en plus ÂŽtroitement associÂŽes au texte. Un livre illustrÂŽ peut dÂŽsormais compter une centaine de planches. C'est dans ce contexte que para”t l'Histoire du roi de BohÂme et de ses sept ch‰teaux de Charles Nodier. Cette Ãuvre originale est le fruit de la collaboration de l'auteur avec l'artiste Tony Johannot qui exploite les possibilitÂŽs qu'offrent les nouvelles techniques. Si le livre ne suscite guÂre d'enthousiasme au moment de sa publication il marque le point de dÂŽpart d'une nouvelle relation entre le texte et l'image comme de celle de l'ÂŽcrivain avec l'artiste. En effet la nature mÂme de l'ouvrage tÂŽmoigne d'une communautÂŽ de vues et d'une ÂŽtroite collaboration entre les deux hommes.Ê Dans l'Histoire du roi de BohÂme et de ses sept ch‰teaux on trouve en effet une vÂŽritable interpÂŽnÂŽtration du texte et de l'image qui se mÂlent au point de devenir mutuellement paraphrastiques. Les vignettes sont librement insÂŽrÂŽes entre les lignes selon la fantaisie de l'ÂŽcrivain ou de l'illustrateur. L'image et le texte deviennent complices au service d'une imagination doublÂŽe d'un humour proche de la dÂŽrision. L'histoire sans queue ni tÂte se soumet aux ressources fantaisistes d'un langage dÂŽbridÂŽ quitte ˆ plonger dans l'incohÂŽrence et l'invraisemblance romanesque. Image et texte jouent ensemble unis par une malicieuse complicitÂŽ dans laquelle ils semblent constamment se relayer avec espiÂglerie souffler sans cesse sur les braises d'un imaginaire au galop. Ainsi de cette chevauchÂŽe fantastique o l'intensitÂŽ qui soulÂve au-dessus du sol les deux montures enfiÂŽvrÂŽes para”t rivaliser avec la fougue d'un texte emportÂŽ par une fuite irrÂŽpressible au bord du vide.''
