03524: 1840. A Unique and Complete Album of 121 Grotesque Watercolors<br /> An Extraordinary Satirical Cycle Concluding with "Finis"<br /> <br /> CARICATURE. Grotesque Sketches by Uncle Walpole. Taken down from the walls of his late dwelling The Hermitage. 1840. Veluti in Speculum As in a mirror. England ca. 1840-1847.<br /> <br /> Large folio 21 1/8 x 13 inches; 536 x 330 mm. Title and eighty-seven leaves of which thirty-four carry colored images on both recto and verso comprising in total 121 original watercolor caricatures.<br /> <br /> Album worn and defective; spine perished covers detached gatherings exposed; plates generally good but a few with marginal tears occasional stains creasing to lower blank corners and title-page worn and torn at margins.<br /> <br /> A unique complete and unpublished satirical album conceived from the outset as a self-contained cycle of grotesque invention and brought to a formal close with a final sheet boldly inscribed "Finis." <br /> <br /> The suite encompasses an extraordinary range of imagery - from miniature comic vignettes to fully realized grotesque tableaux - all executed with wit invention and a distinctively theatrical presence. The subjects are social caricature grotesque physiognomy phrenological satire anthropomorphic beasts drinking and domestic quarrels hybrid demons and burlesque "scientific" scenes.<br /> <br /> The title-leaf and fifty-four watercolors are painted directly on single sheets; many of the earlier examples are cut to shape and mounted some on both recto and verso of the same support while the later sequence plates 40-121 consists largely of full single-sheet compositions. This mixture lends the album a dynamic collage-like quality while also underscoring the compiler's intention to preserve the entirety as a coherent anthology.<br /> <br /> Technically accomplished and often striking in palette - washes occasionally heightened with gum arabic - the drawings show affinities with the satirical traditions of Rowlandson Woodward Gillray and Cruikshank and with the anthropomorphic grotesqueries of Grandville though always refracted through a more private eccentric and at times fantastical imagination.<br /> <br /> Rich in humor fantasy and biting caricature this album is a rare survival of early nineteenth-century satirical art outside the published print trade. Its scale completeness and the emphatic "Finis" at its conclusion mark it as a deliberately conceived satirical masterpiece - a testament to the vigor of the grotesque tradition at the threshold of the Victorian age.<br /> <br /> Several sheets introduce demons grotesques and animals behaving as humans e.g. a devil playing drums a fantasy orchestra of beasts hybrid figures on pedestals. This echoes the satirical tradition of Grandville's later anthropomorphic works though here much earlier aligning stylistically with ca. 1780-1820 English caricature practice.<br /> <br /> The repeated presence of figures handling skulls and engaged in speculative discussion suggests parody of early phrenological study which began circulating in Britain in the late 18th century and became a fashionable topic by the 1810s-20s.<br /> <br /> The grotesque tradition in British and Continental art stretches from the Renaissance to the caricatures of Hogarth and his successors but works of this scope and completeness in watercolor are exceptionally rare. This series appears to have been conceived as a private album not intended for publication though it shares affinities with satirical caricature suites circulating in London and Paris during the 1820s-1840s.<br /> The careful numbering of plates and the emphatic "Finis" suggest a deliberate almost book-like conception - a private "volume" of grotesques. Such albums are seldom encountered in so complete and internally consistent a state.<br /> <br /> To our knowledge no other record of this album exists in bibliographies institutional catalogs or auction histories. Its playful title-page ascribes authorship to "Uncle Walpole" tying it suggestively if perhaps jokingly to the Walpolean tradition of grotesque collecting and satire.<br /> <br /> A unique and complete visual manuscript comprising title and 121 grotesque watercolors forming a finished cycle of satirical invention. With its mixture of mounted cut-outs recto/verso compositions and full-sheet watercolors culminating in the artist's explicit conclusion this album stands as a rare survival of private grotesque satire worthy of institutional acquisition or inclusion in a major private collection of caricature and illustration.<br /> <br /> List of Watercolors:<br /> <br /> Title: Illustrated title-leaf with grotesque framing figures inscribed as above.<br /> Plates 1-10 earlier sequence many cut to shape and mounted<br /> Grotesque heads in profile exaggerated physiognomy.<br /> Rustic figure with staff flanked by grotesques.<br /> Demon tormenting a sleeping man nightmare scene.<br /> Donkey-headed musician playing drum.<br /> Two grotesque clowns quarreling.<br /> Group of hybrid birds with human bodies.<br /> Drinker with long pipe tavern scene.<br /> Monk with devil whispering at shoulder.<br /> Grotesque family group caricature of domestic life.<br /> Bird-headed figure addressing a crowd.<br /> Plates 11-20<br /> Carnival mask and puppet-show figures.<br /> Hybrid demon playing fiddle.<br /> Physiognomic caricature of a scholar with spectacles.<br /> Group of women in quarrel grotesquely exaggerated.<br /> Pair of grotesque dancers.<br /> Satirical quack-doctor examining a bottle.<br /> Animal-headed musicians in concert.<br /> Devil prodding a cleric with a fork.<br /> Group at table with grotesque expressions.<br /> Bird-headed lovers conversing.<br /> Plates 21-30<br /> Figure with skull parody of phrenological study.<br /> Group of grotesques carrying banners.<br /> Drinking bout rustic grotesques with tankards.<br /> Masked devil leaping in theatrical pose.<br /> Bird-headed man astride a grotesque beast.<br /> Pair of grotesques playing cards.<br /> Domestic quarrel -

05941Paris: Chez Aubert 1830-1832. The Journal That Initiated the Golden Age of French Caricature<br /> <br /> LA CARICATURE. PHILIPON Charles founder publisher editor. La Caricature. Morale Religieuse Littéraire et Scénique. Nos. 1 - 86 first three volumes of ten. Paris: Chez Aubert Nov 4 1830 - April 18 1833. <br /> <br /> Three large quarto volumes 13 1/2 x 10 1/8 in; 342 x 257 mm. Containing the first five volumes 128 of 129 issues bound without issue 129 each with four pages of text and lithographed plates numbered 1-18 19-163 166-266 plus four unnumbered or bis plates 121 153 181a & 181b. A total of 267 of 528 plates some of which are double-page folding including eighty-eight hand-colored and four with movable flaps/panels. Almost all issues bearing the Timbre Royal Seine 5 centime tax stamp to upper or lower right corner of front page. <br /> <br /> Including the four bis or unnumbered plates. Also this set has been bound as is quite common without plate 19 Un Ami du peuple par H. Monnier. "It is missing in the La Bedoyère copy as in most copies." Vicaire II p. 52.<br /> <br /> Handsomely bound by Thivet ca. 1880 in three-quarter red morocco over marbled boards ruled in gilt. Spines with five raised bands elaborately decorated and lettered in gilt in compartments marbled endpapers. <br /> <br /> Some plates with light to moderate foxing. A couple with foxed spots generally to margins and not intruding upon image. While some of the wrappers/text have toned as expected but are not brittle others - miraculously - remain as fresh as the day they were printed. An excellent run of the first five volumes.<br /> <br /> Edited by Philipon in the few years that censorship was relaxed La Caricature is the most evocative revue of the Romantic period taking an important role in the fight of the liberals against Louis-Philippe and his ministers. Although a courageous editor Philipon with the literary help of Desnoyers Hugo and Balzac was not a great artist and needed the inspiration of Daumier and Grandville to bring alive his satirical magazine. <br /> <br /> Issued over only five years La Caricature is the most famous of all nineteenth century satirical magazines. The major contributors were Daumier and Grandville but there are contributions by Monnier Lami Descamps Raffet Gavarni Deveria Bouquet Traviès Desperet Forest Roubaud and others.<br /> <br /> Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book 160.

London: J Hayes for Edward Orme 1810 several plates watermarked 1825. With 26 hand-colored plates uncolored portrait of Tim Bobbin. Folio xxxiii plates; gilt titled leather-backed marbled boards edges lightly rubbed.</p><p>Collier was the Lancashire Hogarth and celebrated both for his illustrations and his writings. These illustrations evoke the saucy genre paintings of earlier Dutch artwork as well as Hogarth and closer contemporaries such as George Moutard Woodward. They are exceptional though in their economy of composition with little expended on extraneous background and details and in this they stand apart from Woodward Rowlandson and other contemporaries. Topics include love anger mercenary marriage unions the squandering of savings in the pursuit of a Pyrrhic court victory. Dentistry or the torture of tooth pulling is the subject of a number of the plates as is intemperate drinking. The characters depicted are rogues simpletons rakes picaresque types vulgarians the panoply of everyday English society brimming with life if not always virtue.</p> J Hayes for Edward Orme, hardcover
