Baudelaire chose it. for specific discussion in his essay on French caricaturists and Carteret accorded it a place in his bibliography. Its contemporary popularity was immense. As an album it was published by Aubert in an edition of 2500 copies a far larger number than for any other series however the vast majority of these copies were issued with plain lithographs - only a few copies were issued with hand-coloring. Yet so persistent was the demand that 6000 two-volume sets of reduced copies called Les cent-et-un Robert Macaire were published in 1839." Ray.<br /> <br /> Though 2500 may have been printed few have survived. OCLC/KVK records only two complete copies in institutions worldwide Sadleir's at the Morgan Library and one at Yale. ABPC reports only seven complete copies at auction since 1935. <br /> <br /> The 'reduced' edition of 1839-41 Les cent-et-un Robert Macaire is still quite rare at auction two complete copies only since 1975 but there are more copies in institutional holdings.<br /> <br /> "When politics became a forbidden topic in Le Charivari where Caricaturana first appeared Daumier and Philipon turned to social satire. If they could not attack Louis-Philippe directly they could at least show the kind of society that flourished under his gross and venal regime. Taking the flamboyant and florid swindler Macaire from the character that Frederick Lemaitre had created in a hack melodrama called L'Auberge des adrets they showed him. ranging through all kinds of commercial enterprise in the stock market in the banks in the courts and in dozens of other public settings never failing to find eager dupes. Though Daumier's designs are are superb in themselves. they would be incomplete without the unfailing wit and point of Philipon's captions" Ray.<br /> <br /> Daumier Register 354-373 375-455; Ray Art of the French Illustrated Book 161.

Notes: Honoré-Victorin Daumier 1808 – 1879 was a French printmaker caricaturist painter and sculptor whose many works offer commentary on social and political life of 19th century France. ‘Daumier produced more than 4000 lithographs 1000 wood engravings 1000 drawings . . perhaps best known for his caricatures of political figures and satires on the behavior of his countrymen. <br>‘During the reign of Louis Philippe Charles Philipon launched the comic journal 'La Caricature'. Daumier joined its staff which included such powerful artists as Devéria Raffet and Grandville and started upon his pictorial campaign of satire targeting the foibles of the bourgeoisie the corruption of the law and the incompetence of a blundering government. His caricature of the king as Gargantua led to Daumier's imprisonment for six months at Ste Pelagie in 1832. Soon after the publication of 'La Caricature' was discontinued but Philipon provided a new field for Daumier's activity when he founded the 'Le Charivari'.<br> <br>‘Daumier produced his social caricatures for 'Le Charivari' in which he held bourgeois society up to ridicule in the figure of Robert Macaire hero of a popular melodrama. In another series 'L'histoire ancienne' he took aim at the constraining pseudo-classicism of the art of the period. In 1848 Daumier embarked again on his political campaign still in the service of 'Le Charivari' which he left in 1863 and rejoined in 1864.<br> ‘Around the mid-1840s Daumier started publishing his famous caricatures depicting members of the legal profession known as 'Les Gens de Justice' a scathing satire about judges defendants attorneys and corrupt greedy lawyers in general. A number of extremely rare albums appeared on white paper covering 39 different legal themes of which 37 had previously been published in the 'Charivari'. It is said that Daumier's own experience as an employee in a bailiff's office during his youth may have influenced his rather negative attitude towards the legal profession.<br> <br>‘In 1834 he produced the lithograph 'Rue Transnonain 15 April 1834' depicting the massacre in the rue transnoin which was part of the April 1834 riots in Paris. It was designed for the subscription publication 'L’Association Mensuelle'. The profits were to promote freedom of the press and defrayed legal costs of a lawsuit against the satirical politically progressive journal 'Le Charivari' to which Daumier contributed regularly. The police discovered the print hanging in the window of printseller Ernest Jean Aubert in the Galerie Véro-Dodat passageway in 1st arrondissement and subsequently tracked down and confiscated as many of the prints they could find along with the original lithographic stone on which the image was drawn. Existing prints of Rue Transnonain are survivors of this effort.<br> <br>The present collection is from series published in the Charivari: ACTUALITES CARICATURES DU JOUR.

If they could not attack Louis Philippe directly they could at least show the kind of society that flourished under his gross and venal regime. Taking the flamboyant and florid swindler Macaire from the character that Frédérick Lemaître had created in a hack melodrama called L'Auberge des adrets they showed him and his inseparable companion the dejected and meager Bertrand ranging through all kinds of commercial enterprise in the stock market in the banks in the courts and in dozens of other public settings never failing to find eager dupes. Macaire is equally persuasive in the encounters of private life where no situation finds him at a loss for an appropriate flower of sentiment.Though Daumier's designs are superb in themselves particularly in the variety of supple and telling poses.that he conceives for Macaire and Bertrand they would be incomplete without the unfailing wit and point of Philipon's captions" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book pp. 234-236.<br/><br/>"These reduced and for the most part reversed copies of Daumier's lithographs apparently drawn by Menut Alophe are greatly inferior to the originals.

Its contemporary popularity was immense. As an album it was published by Aubert in an edition of 2500 copies a far larger number than for any other series. Yet so persistent was the demand that 600 two-volume sets of reduced copies called Les cent-et-un Robert-Macaire were published in 1839.When politics became a forbidden topic in Le charivari where Caricaturana Les Robert-Macaire first appeared Daumier and Philipon turned to social satire. If they could not attack Louis Philippe directly they could at least show the kind of society that flourished under his gross and venal regime. Taking the flamboyant and florid swindler Macaire from the character that Frédérick Lemaître had created in a hack melodrama called L'Auberge des adrets they showed him and his inseparable companion the dejected and meager Bertrand ranging through all kinds of commercial enterprise in the stock market in the banks in the courts and in dozens of other public settings never failing to find eager dupes. Macaire is equally persuasive in the encounters of private life where no situation finds him at a loss for an appropriate flower of sentiment.Though Daumier's designs are superb in themselves particularly in the variety of supple and telling poses.that he conceives for Macaire and Bertrand they would be incomplete without the unfailing wit and point of Philipon's captions" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book pp. 234-236.<br /> <br /> "These reduced and for the most part reversed copies of Daumier's lithographs apparently drawn by Menut Alophe are greatly inferior to the originals.

Occasional light foxing and/or browning. A wonderful copy.<br /> <br /> "The house of Aubert was ingenious in marketing its products. Its lithographs.were published one by one in periodicals like Le charivari and together in suites by the same artist without letterpress. Still a third form of publication was in albums made up of lithographs by several artists with accompanying texts. These collections most commonly took the form of volumes with the generic title Paris comique which consisted of twenty colored lithographs accompanied by quite unrelated texts. Aubert remarked that the resulting hodgepodge had 'a plan that is easy to follow for it consists in not having any' and in fact this was indeed a frugal procedure for reusing old texts and already published plates. The interest of the various volumes of Paris comique resides entirely in the lithographs they happen to contain. It can be considerable however since Daumier and Gavarni are the predominant artists. Le musée pour rire represents a more considerable effort on the part of Aubert. To accompany 150 lithographs including forty-five by Daumier among them twenty-seven from Croquis d'expressions and eight from La galerie physionomique and forty-two by Gavarni new commentaries were commissioned on each plate all except two by Alhoy and Huart. Daumier's lithographs were trimmed slightly and their captions were relettered. The designs of the other artists were provided with decorative frames. The whole was then published in three handsome volumes and in copies with expert contemporary coloring like this one Le musée pour rire is among the freshest and most attractive of romantic illustrated books" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book.<br /> <br /> Le Musée pour Rire "contained 150 lithographs by Daumier Gavarni Bouchot Traviès etc. These are re-impressions some of them in mirror image which had previously already been used for publication in Le Charivari. Most prints of the series 'Croquis d'expressions' are contained in the book. The name of the series is missing and the texts were printed in a different type than in the original Charivari version. We do not consider these prints original lithographies but rather prints 'after Daumier'" The Daumier Register at http://www.daumier-register.org.<br /> <br /> Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book 164.

This protean fresco was directed by editor Léon Curmer already known for the publishing success of Paul et Virginie between 1836 and 1838. Curmer is represented here by an article L'éditeur in volume IV written by Elias Regnault. The latter takes example in Louis-Sebastien Mercier's Tableau de Paris published in 1781 whose vision is even further extended by the representation of French provinces in Les Français. Thanks to Curmer the work finds an even deeper meaning: the editor has widened his frame and instead of letting a few fleeting portraits get lost in the immense daily whirlwind that engulfs all things he has sought to bring together the most salient physiognomies of that time.

14808Daumier Honore French 180.8-1879. LE VENTRE LEGISLATIF. Lithograph 1834. Published by L'Association Mensuelle in the issue of January 1834. With the ceneterfold but also folded horizontally. Signed in the stone. 11 x 17 1/8 inches image 14 x 21 1/2 inches sheet. The folds are apparent in the margins but very unobtrusive in the image. The title translates as "The Legislative Belly." The print is Daumier's satirical commentary on kind of people who made up the Chamber of Deputies in January of 1834. He shows them fat and self-satisfied implying that concern for the public good was not first on their minds. 1834 was a very volatile year in French politics with an insurrection in Lyon which was put down by military force. Conservatives who supported the monarchy and the status quo won the elections to the Chamber of Deputies. Only 200000 people those who paid a minimum of 200 Francs in taxes were eleigible to vote the population of France was then 30000000. This print with its strong graphic design and its forthright critique is among Daumiers most significant works. unknown

Three quarto volumes bound in one 10 x 7 5/8 in; 251 x 193 mm. 1 half-title 2 title 600 pp. With 150 numbered hand-colored lithographs heightened with gum arabic by Honoré Daumier forty-five Gavarni forty-two Frédéric Bouchot twenty-two Victor Adam ten Platier seven Benjamin i.e. Benjamin Roubaud four Bourdet three Pruche three Platel two Grandville two Edme-Jean Pigal two Alophe Menut two Charles Vernier two Charles-Joseph Traviès one and others.<br /> <br /> Bound ca. 1886-1890 by James Screeton of Hull with label to rear pastedown half black pebbled morocco over gray-brown cloth. Elaborately gilt tooled compartments gilt-rolled raised bands. All edges gilt. Some foxing and toning throughout but still a very good copy.<br /> <br /> "The house of Aubert was ingenious in marketing its products. Its lithographs.were published one by one in periodicals like Le charivari and together in suites by the same artist without letterpress. Still a third form of publication was in albums made up of lithographs by several artists with accompanying texts. These collections most commonly took the form of volumes with the generic title Paris comique which consisted of twenty colored lithographs accompanied by quite unrelated texts. Aubert remarked that the resulting hodgepodge had 'a plan that is easy to follow for it consists in not having any' and in fact this was indeed a frugal procedure for reusing old texts and already published plates. The interest of the various volumes of Paris comique resides entirely in the lithographs they happen to contain. It can be considerable however since Daumier and Gavarni are the predominant artists. Le musée pour rire represents a more considerable effort on the part of Aubert. To accompany 150 lithographs including forty-five by Daumier among them twenty-seven from Croquis d'expressions and eight from La galerie physionomique and forty-two by Gavarni new commentaries were commissioned on each plate all except two by Alhoy and Huart. Daumier's lithographs were trimmed slightly and their captions were relettered. The designs of the other artists were provided with decorative frames. The whole was then published in three handsome volumes and in copies with expert contemporary coloring like this one Le musée pour rire is among the freshest and most attractive of romantic illustrated books" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book.<br /> <br /> Le Musée pour Rire "contained 150 lithographs by Daumier Gavarni Bouchot Traviès etc. These are re-impressions some of them in mirror image which had previously already been used for publication in Le Charivari. Most prints of the series 'Croquis d'expressions' are contained in the book. The name of the series is missing and the texts were printed in a different type than in the original Charivari version. We do not consider these prints original lithographies but rather prints 'after Daumier'". <br /> <br /> James Screeton was the son of bookbinder William Screeton of Hull. It appears that he was partner of binder William Wardell until opened his own shop in 1886. <br /> <br /> Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book 164. Paris: Chez Aubert, 1839 unknown
06233Paris: Chez Aubert & cie. 1847. Honoré Daumier's 'As You Like It'<br /> <br /> DAUMIER Honoré. Tout ce Qu'on Voudra As you like it. Paris: Chez Aubert & cie. 1847. <br /> <br /> Folio 13 1/4 x 9 7/8 inches; 336 x 251 mm. Nineteen fine lithograph plates of which seventeen are hand colored and heightened with gum arabic.<br /> <br /> Publisher's dark blue diaper-grain cloth covers ruled in blind front cover decoratively lettered in gilt smooth spine.<br /> <br /> This remarkably rare album containing the first nineteen plates of the series Tout ce Qu'on Voudra essentially constitutes a publisher's "sampler" or early issue collection with the added distinction that seventeen are hand-colored and heightened with gum arabic-a luxury not typically afforded to ordinary subscribers. Plate numbers 2 and 18 are uncolored. Near fine.<br /> <br /> This series comprises a broad range of social types and caricatured scenes drawn from Parisian life. Rather than focusing on a single theme like Daumier's earlier series on lawyers Les Gens de Justice or doctors Médecins et Malades Tout ce qu'on voudra is a free-ranging collection in the spirit of improvisation-satirizing bourgeois manners social pretensions urban spectacles and eccentric characters. It is sometimes considered a late echo of his Types Parisiens and other physiologie-inspired work.<br /> <br /> "Tout ce Qu'on Voudra. As you like it. This series consists of 94 lithographs published between March 281847 and November 30 1852 in the Charivari. Some of the plates carry no numbers. We are adding another 4 unpublished prints DR 1717 to 1720 which might have belonged to this series. Similar to the series "Les bons bourgeois" the prints of the present series are dealing with numerous small misfortunes in the life of the Parisians. They were especially impressed by the possibilities opened by the railroad. Travels to the surroundings and the French province were both exciting and startling experiences. Apart from these drawings this series also offers beautiful observations like the elderly couple remembering youth; memories and transience with a pensive humour and never offending." The Daumier Register.<br /> <br /> According to the Daumier Register and OCLC/WorldCat institutions typically only hold odd prints from this series not publisher's albums.<br /> <br /> Daumier Register Nos. 1647-1665.

05492Paris: Chez Aubert 1838. The First Twenty Hand Colored Lithographs of<br /> Daumier's Most Celebrated Work<br /> <br /> DAUMIER Honoré and Charles Philipon. Les Robert Macaire Caricaturana. Paris: Chez Aubert 1836-1838. <br /> <br /> First edition. Oblong folio 10 3/8 x 14 inches; 264 x 355 mm. Twenty hand-colored lithographed plates numbered 1 - 20 heightened with gum arabic. <br /> <br /> Plate no. 7 supplied and expertly re-margined at gutter and lower margins. <br /> <br /> Contemporary quarter green calf over green patterned boards decoratively ruled in gilt with gilt corner pieces smooth spine. Inner hinges repaired slight rubbing to extremities. <br /> <br /> An excellent collection of the first twenty plates of Daumier's Caricaturana.<br /> <br /> "Les Robert Macaire remains Daumeir's best-known work. Baudelaire chose it. for specific discussion in his essay on French caricaturists and Carteret accorded it a place in his bibliography. Its contemporary popularity was immense. As an album it was published by Aubert in an edition of 2500 copies a far larger number than for any other series. Yet so persistent was the demand that 6000 two-volume sets of reduced copies called Les cent-et-un Robert Macaire were published in 1839." Ray.<br /> <br /> Though 2500 may have been printed few have survived. OCLC/KVK records only two copies in institutions worldwide Sadleir's at the Morgan Library and at Yale. Though both are complete only the Morgan copy is in the original cartonnage portfolio. ABPC reports only three complete copies at auction since 1935 and it appears that at least two were rebound; it is safe we think to presume that the third copy was also rebound. The 'reduced' edition of 1839 is still quite rare at auction two copies only since 1975 but there are more copies in institutional holdings.<br /> <br /> "When politics became a forbidden topic in Le Charivari where Caricaturana first appeared Daumier and Philipon turned to social satire. If they could not attack Louis-Philippe directly they could at least show the kind of society that flourished under his gross and venal regime. Taking the flamboyant and florid swindler Macaire from the character that Frederick Lemaitre had created in a hack melodrama called L'Auberge des adrets they showed him.ranging through all kinds of commercial enterprise in the stock market in the banks in the courts and in dozens of other public settings never failing to find eager dupes.Though Daumier's designes are are superb in themselves.they would be incomplete without the unfailing wit and point of Philipon's captions" Ray.<br /> <br /> Ray Art of the French Illustrated Book 161.
