Some light foxing which is mainly confined to the blank margins. <br /> <br /> Contemporary half crimson straight-grain morocco over marbled boards smooth spine elaborately tooled and lettered in gilt. Some light wear to top and bottom of spine. An excellent example of one of the rarest suites of fashion and caricature.<br /> <br /> OCLC/KVK note only four copies of this edition in library holdings worldwide no copies of the first edition and only two copies of the 1822 edition.<br /> <br /> One of the rarest suites of fashion and caricature featuring superbly colored plates. In addition to satirizing the extravagances of contemporary fashion and society the finely rendered illustrations portray a range of public entertainers-including the rope-dancing troupes of Forioso and Ravel a magic lantern show two performing dog acts Indian jugglers acrobats and four distinct aerial runways.<br /> <br /> Le Bon Genre was one of the earliest series of prints to record the social trends and leisure activities of contemporary Parisians. It is the most important fashion portfolio of its time documenting through its caricatures the rise of the modern city of Paris and the emerging middle-class bourgeois its fashions recreations and dating customs. It also has fun at visitors' expense particularly the English whose customs and fashions the French found incomprehensible and unfashionable; the years of hostility between France and England did nothing to improve relations and the French lost few opportunities to ridicule the British. Le Bon Genre's popularity influenced most of the later fashion illustrators and journals as well as the satirical albums so typical of mid-19th century France and remains a key record of French social history. Overall Le Bon Genre bears witness to the colorful post-Revolution period of Parisian society as it evolves into the early Republican era.<br /> <br /> Of particular interest is the descriptive text preceding the plates that details the content of each caricature. One is astonished and charmed by images of a trio enjoying a magic lantern show #31; three women rapturously eating sorbets #4; a trained and costumed dog act #35; a circus balancing act #91; a man who eats anything #93; a huge amusement park slide #97; and so many more enchanting engravings delicately and vividly hand-colored.<br /> <br /> "Le Bon Genre.was first published in 1817 and went through several editions. This is a record of English and French fashions since the beginning of the nineteenth century; the English fashions are more in the nature of caricatures to show how badly Englishwomen dress as compared with the Parisiennes" Vyvyan Holland Hand Coloured Fashion Plates 1770 to 1899 p. 51.<br /> <br /> "The 'Bon Genre's' first edition 104 plates appeared in 1817. The 1822 edition included eleven additional plates; a third edition was published in 1827. Its illustrations are lively and witty statements of the life of Paris since the beginning of XIXc. with a text of explanatory paragraphs rather than fashion plates" Millia Davenport The Book of Costume II p. 814.<br /> <br /> "Georges-Jacques Gatine was the leading costume engraver of his time. For many years he supplied plates for the Journal des dames. He engraved the 115 designs which make up Le bon genre a lively mélange caricaturing people and scenes of contemporary interest" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book p. 141.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Le Bon Genre's publisher and editor Pierre Joseph Antoine Le Bouc of Mésangère 1761-1830 better known by the name of Le Mésangère was a fascinating character whose eclectic career covered a very wide period from the French Revolution 1789 up to the Second Restoration 1815 -1830. First an eccleslastlc philosopher and writer then fashion journalist he was for more than thirty years editor-in-chief of Le Journal des Dames a periodical that had an enormous influence upon contemporary French standards of elegance and taste. Born in Anjou 1761 to a middle-class family Mésangère entered the order Congregation of the Brothers in 1784 and held the philosophie belles lettres Chair at the College de la Fleche. In hiding during the Terror 1793-1794 after Robesplerre's death July 28 1794 he began to be known as a writer for Parisian literary journals. He wrote Le Voyageur a Paris ou Tableau pittoresque et moral de cette capitale 1797 a book that gained a certain notoriety. In 1799 he became editor of Le Journal des Dames a magazine founded two years earlier. It reigned supreme amongst the women's magazines of the epoch. With engraver Gatine executing the designs Mésangère was the pre-eminent writer editor and publisher of works devoted to French women's fashion of his era.<br /> <br /> The contributing artists to Le Bon Genre included George Dutailly François Joseph Bosio Louis Marie Lante Horace Vernet and others but it is Mésangère the editor and publisher who guided them and Gatine the engraver who executed their designs who were and remain the stars here.<br /> <br /> Colas 2240.

18144369Paris: Ch Bance 1814. An attractive hand coloured engraving by Debucourt after Carle Vernet. First state with 1er to the top left of the plate and No. 1 to the top right. This was conceived as the first in the "Collection de Costumes" series which was to have been a collection of 56 plates with accompanying text showing costumes of the nations. This plate was deposited at the Library by Aumontle on November 2 1814 at the same time as the "March of English Officers." The English are shown as fairly brutish as is often in French prints of the time. A good strong print with attractive original hand colouring. There is moderate to strong foxing across the whole plate. plate area 36cm x 27cm. Sheet is 39cm x 28cm First edition. Une belle gravure coloriée à la main par Debucourt d'après Carle VERNET. Premier état avec le 1er en haut à gauche de la planche et le No. 1 en haut à droite. Cette gravure a été conçue comme la première de la série "COLLECTION DE COSTUMES" qui devait être une collection de 56 planches accompagnées d'un texte montrant les costumes des nations. Cette planche a été déposée à la Bibliothèque par Aumontle le 2 novembre 1814 en même temps que la "Marche des officiers anglais". Les Anglais sont représentés de manière assez brutale comme c'est souvent le cas dans les estampes françaises de l'époque. Il s'agit d'une estampe de bonne qualité avec des couleurs originales attrayantes. Il y a des rousseurs modérées à fortes sur l'ensemble de la plaque. La surface de la plaque est de 36cm x 27cm.

He was also a pupil of painter Jacques-Louis David. During the Bourbon restauration Forbin served as general director of the Louvre Museum and other museums of France.Inspired by the travels of François-René de Chateaubriand Forbin sailed out from Toulon on 22 August 1817 to tour the eastern Mediterranean. Like Chateaubriand Forbin travelled on his own initiative without an order from the French government; however since the aim of his journey was to discover Greek and Roman antiquities and to draw landscapes of the places he would visit he was able to travel on the ships of the French fleet of the Levant Flotte du Levant.In his venture Forbin was accompanied by painters Pierre Prevost and Léon Matthieu Cochereau also a pupil of David and a nephew of Prévost as well as architect Jean-Nicolas Huyot. Abbé de Forbin-Janson later bishop of Nancy was also a member of the company for the first part of the journey while Huyot had to retire when he fractured his leg on Milos island. In addition twenty-four year old Cochereau died of dysentery off the coast of Cythera and was replaced by Linant de Bellefonds who at the time was a mate on "Cleopatra" the mission's ship. De Bellefonds resigned from his position on the ship and participated in the expedition as a painter and chartographer. When the expedition ended in December of 1817 de Bellefonds decided to stay on in Egypt and explored its territory as member of several missions. From 1831 to 1869 he served the kingdom of Egypt as chief engineer of several public works including the Suez Canal.The expedition sailed to Acre Galilee and thenceforth travelled by land. While in Palestine the travellers visited the Dead Sea and Jordan river reached Cairo and sailed the Nile down to Upper Egypt. The main places they visited includde Milos island Athens Constantinople Ephesus Acre Jerusalem Gaza Damietta Cairo Luxor Thebes Rosetta and Alexandria. When the expedition returned to France in April 1818 Forbin had spent approximately 28.000 francs on the purchase and transportation of antiquities some of which ended up in the Louvre collections at the time Royal Museum of France. Prevost drew panoramic views of Jerusalem and Athens but succumbed to pneumonia in 1823 without completing his panorama of Constantinople.The descriptions of Forbin show him to be a mature observer in possession of deep humanistic culture. Forbin also travelled to Sicily in 1820 and published his travel account as he had done with his expedition of 1817.Moyen-Orient - FORBIN Claude Comte de. Voyage dans le Levant.

His style sometimes resembles a clumsy imitation of Chateaubriand's "Journey to the Holy Land" 1806. However as Forbin was not a professional author but a painter his descriptions are way more exact than those of Chateaubriand.Forbin also travelled to Sicily in 1820 and published his travel account as he had done with his expedition of 1817.
