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.

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.

Contained in a green marbled paper covered slipcase with red morocco trim. 425 illustrations by Gustave Doré engraved on wood by Lavieille Rouget Pisan Brévière and Piaud. A very pretty copy in excellent fresh condition. First illustrated edition of the Contes drolatiques with 425 illustrations by Gustave Dore praised by Ray "Doré's early masterpiece" Carteret "le chef-d'œuvre d'illustrations de Gustave Doré" and Beraldi who though it the most likely to endure of all Doré's books - "S'il n'en reste qu'un seul ce sera celui-là !" Béraldi. Although the title refers to this edition as the "cinquiesme édition" it is actually the fourth edition of Les contes drolatiques which was first published between 1832-1837. It is well recorded that Balzac's widow granted permission for the illustrated edition only on the condition: "that no artist but Doré should be allowed to illustrate her husband's works" Anthony North-Peat Gossip from Paris 1864-69 p. 324.
