La Ménagerie Parisienne

06358Paris: Au Bureau du Journal Pour Rire 1854. From Lions to Sewer Rats: Doré's Merciless Pencil Spares No Class of Parisian Society" DORÉ Gustave. La Ménagerie Parisienne. Paris: Au Bureau du Journal Pour Rire n.d. 1854. First proof printing of this remarkable and extremely rare album comprising 24 original lithographs by Veyron after Gustave Doré. The work was advertised in the Bibliographie de la France on 28 October 1854 no. 3826. Oblong folio 10 1/4 x 13 1/2 inches; 259 x 343 mm. Original publisher's green paper wrappers title stamped in gilt. A minute chip to the lower edge of the front wrapper approximately 5/8 x 3/8 inch otherwise a superb fresh copy preserved in the publisher's original glassine and entirely free of foxing. Housed in a quarter red morocco chemise gilt-lettered over marbled boards within a matching red leather-edged slipcase. An exceptionally fine and unrecorded example printed on papier vélin fort. Not listed by standard bibliographers the leaves are 5/8 inch wider than usual examples. This suite appears never to have been commercially marketed. It was issued without a printed title-page the title instead stamped in gold on the green wrappers. In La Ménagerie Parisienne Doré delivers a scathing and brilliantly observed satire of Parisian society. Social types are transformed into a kind of urban "fauna" each class assigned an animal identity that mirrors its dress posture and moral character - yet without ever sacrificing humanity. Aristocrats of the Faubourg Saint-Germain appear as "lions" and "lionesses" adopting a term already current in 18th-century England while the social scale descends inexorably to the "rats" of the Parisian sewers. Doré's vision is unsparing and no stratum of urban life escapes his scrutiny. Michèle Lavallée Gustave Doré 1832-1883 p. 287. Produced during Doré's youth this album reveals the formative synthesis of his influences. While the titles and captions recall Grandville whose work deeply marked Doré's early career the drawings themselves resonate strongly with the graphic force and social acuity of Daumier. Among the most celebrated plates is the riotous assembly of washerwomen a scene that would become emblematic of Doré's early satirical power. Doré first visited Paris in 1847 with his parents and soon showed his drawings to Charles Philipon who immediately recognized his talent and engaged him for the Journal Pour Rire. Although Doré's earliest lithographic albums - beginning with Les Travaux d'Hercule published when he was just fifteen - are today among his most engaging works they remain conspicuously under-represented even in advanced collections due to their extreme scarcity. As Gordon Ray observed albums such as Les Différents publics de Paris Les Folies gauloises Les Agréments d'un voyage de désagrément 1851 and La Ménagerie Parisienne 1854 reveal Doré at his most inventive and humorous combining youthful exuberance with a remarkably sophisticated social vision.
