187027359London: Cassell Petter and Galpin N.D. circa 1870. A very early printing. With 86 magnificent full page illustrations many smaller illustrations and a portrait frontispiece all by Gustave Doré. Royal 4to 12.25 by 9.5 inches in a very handsome deluxe binding of three-quarter green morocco over matching pebbled cloth covered boards the spine with finely gilt stippled raised bands ruled in blind and with multiple rules in gilt the head and tail additionally gilt decorated two compartments boldly gilt lettered with fine marbled endleaves and page edges. lxiv 839 pp. A very fine and handsome copy very handsomely bound solid and fresh and clean with no sign of the typical foxing associated with these printings. Only very light evidence of age to the binding. A very well preserved and quite excellent copy. A BEAUTIFULLY BOUND AND WELL PRESERVED COPY OF THIS MASTERPIECE BY GUSTAVE DORé. An impressive tome of some of the best loved fables including ‘The Grasshopper and the Ant’ ‘The hen with the golden eggs’ and well over 150 more. With his full-page engravings Gustave Doré does his best work with great dramatic flare. The countless smaller illustrations round out the book and make it a truly outstanding publishing endeavor.<br> Many of the fables were in the main adapted from the classical fabulists Aesop Babrius and Phaedrus. In these La Fontaine adhered to the path of his predecessors with some closeness; but in others he allowed himself far more liberty and there is a wider range of sources. The Indian Bidpai is drawn upon for oriental fables that had come to the French through translations from Persian. So while the subject of each of the Fables is often common property of many ages and races what gives La Fontaine's Fables their rare distinction is the freshness in narration the deftness of touch the unconstrained suppleness of metrical structure and the unfailing humor. Keen insight into the foibles of human nature is also found throughout. Cassell, Petter and Galpin hardcover

185573043Se trouve à Paris, ez bureaux de la Société générale de librairie [on esté imprimez par Bénard et Ce.], 1855, in-8, XXXI-[1]-614-[1] pages, bois gravés dans le texte et à pleine page, Percaline noire de l'éditeur, titre et composition dorés sur le dos, "Comprenez-vous maintenant pourquoi tout ce qui est amateur de livres a une dévotion spéciale aux Contes drolatiques, et les estime au point de s'exclamer que, de tous les ouvrages de Doré, S'il n'en reste qu'un seul, ce sera celui-là (Béraldi)?" Cinquième édition, posthume, et première édition illustrée des Contes drolatique, "chef-d'oeuvre où chaque vignette est une trouvaille" (Béradi). Rare en reliure d'éditeur. Leblanc, bibliographe de Gustave Doré, relève que les tirages de cette cinquième édition ont été très variés ; il constate en effet que, sur 8 exemplaires collationnés, aucun n'est exactement semblable à l'autre. Voici les particularités qui caractérisent le nôtre : - Le titre annonce 425 dessins ; - On lit "sujets" en page VIII ; - La page XXI est chiffrée XX ; - La légende de la page 326 est "Le joyeulx curé de Meudon" ; - Le nom et l'adresse de Fain n'apparaissent pas à la page 425, ni la signature 36. ; - Le titre du conte Naifveté apparait bien à la table des matières de la page 426. Au demeurant, les bibliographes ne s'accordent pas tout à fait pour définir quel serait le tout premier tirage. Leblanc penche pour ceux qui, entre autres particularités, annoncent 424 dessins au titre. Gustave Doré (1832-1883) a dessiné les très beaux bois de ces Contes drolatiques à l'âge de 21 ans, de manière concomitante à ceux de l'édition des Oeuvres de Rabelais. L'idée d'illustrer ces textes lui avait été suggérée par le Bibliophile Jacob, Paul Lacroix, qui avait été chargé par la veuve de Balzac de la révision philologique du texte. Les illustrations se placent dans une veine caricaturale et "drolatique" ; elles révèlent l'immense talent de Gustave Doré, son attrait pour le paysage et son aisance dans le portrait de personnages grotesques comme dans les scènes burlesques. "Cette illustration est à nulle autre semblable par sa puissante originalité : elle est gauloise, rabelaisienne, et pétillante d'esprit. Doré a certainement, dans les Contes drolatiques, répandu le meilleur de son talent. Ils n'eurent cependant aucun succès et toute l'édition fut mise au rabais. Aujourd'hui, c'est l'un des ouvrages de Doré les plus recherchés" (Leblanc). Ex-libris manuscrit au faux-titre : "Hadriani Seguilii". Fine mouillure en tête des premiers feuillets, percaline un peu fatiguée. Leblanc, p. 39 et suiv. ; Carteret III, p. 48 et suiv. ; Béraldi, T. VI, p. 34, n° 89 ; Brivois, p. 32; Vicaire I, 190-193.

The theme of this book had been anticipated by Matthew Arnold three years earlier when he wrote of ""London with its unutterable external hideousness and with its internal canker of publice egestas priviatim opulentia - to use the words which Sallust puts into Cato's mouth about Rome - unequalled in the world"" Culture and Anarchy London 1869 p.31. Gustave Dore collaborated with the journalist Blanchard Jerrold to explore Victorian London spending four years to produce this masterpiece in which the chiaroscuro illustrations embody the light and shade of the city. ""Dore's devastating realization of the contrast of wealth and poverty in a modern metropolis makes London one of the great illustrated books of the world.""

Some occasional foxing to some leaves as is normal with the book more to the front preliminary leaves some rubbing to the extremities some age . A very well preserved copy. FIRST EDITION IN A STATELY BINDING OF WHAT MANY CONSIDER TO BE DORE'S GREATEST MOST IMPORTANT AND FANTASTIC WORK. This is also one of Doré’s less common works rarely encountered and a superb example of his talent. It is a great book especially because it is the work of an artist capturing what he sees of the London of the streets and of the backs a place seldom encountered by the public at large. It is a book that rocked the book world and English sensibilities when it first appeared. <br> "Doré produced the drawings for this work under great emotional strain. France was involved in the Franco-Prussian War and his brother was a soldier in it. With Jerrold he had walked the streets of London like Dickens and Wilkie Collins before at night and viewed the working of the City the London labourers and the London poor. At this period he had also attended a garden party with Queen Victoria with whom he had a long conversation. He experienced all the delights of the London Season from the Boat Race the Derby and various Balls and Salons. His work was criticised for its exposure of the less salubrious side of the city from its Opium dens the homeless and the ugly back streets at the same time gently mocking Society Ladies admiring monkeys in cages from the animals point of view and the prisoners exercise yard which inspired Van Gogh.<br> The British public were not amused with what had promised to be a light and entertaining work. Instead came a work of uncomfortable social reflection of the juxtaposition between wealth and poverty the upper classed the work and dispossessed. The text by Blanchard Jerrold is light and amusing hardly reflecting the grim realities of Doré's representation.<br> “Doré’s devastating realization of the contrast of wealth and poverty in a modern metropolis makes LONDON one of the great illustrated books of the world. The English edition antedates the French by four years and indeed it is a handsomer book†Ray. Ruari McLean in his book VICTORIAN BOOK DESIGN says of it: “.perhaps the finest and most original book of monochrome wood engraving published in London during this period was the work of a Frenchman Gustave Doré. This was his LONDON A PILGRIMAGE. Doré’s illustrations make the English illustrations of the sixties look puny.â€<br> The engraved illustrations and accompanying text show many aspects of the city but dwell on the picturesque clutter and the squalor of the poorer districts. ‘Jerrold whose text accompanies the plates was a well known London journalist who conceived the work and accompanied the artist in exploring London--sometimes with special police protection. Doré was able to explore the vitality and ruthlessness of Victorian London and depict these conditions through his extraordinary graphics.’ Grant & Co. hardcover
