It would seem that this volume was only issued with uncolored plates.<br/><br/>"For many of Daumier's admirers his lithographs of 1870-1871 represent the peak of his achievement. They are in his last style massive stripped down direct which speaks as nothing else could for this tragic period in France's history. <br/><br/>The Siege of Paris - that took place from 19th September 1870 to 28th January 1871 and the consequent capture of the city by Prussian force - culminated in France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War and the establishment of both the German Empire and the Paris Commune - the radical socialist anti-religious and revolutionary government that ruled Paris from 18th March to 28th May 1871. The Franco-Prussian War had led to the capture of Emperor Napoleon III in September 1870 the collapse of the Second French Empire and the beginning of the Third Republic.<br/><br/>The Plates:<br/><br/>1.

Cham 22<br/>39. Moi je suis ravitaillé!. le rests m'est égal Daumier 3851<br/>40. Après le Siége Cham 113<br/><br/>"Particularly to be noted are his bitter reflections on the legend which Charlet Bellangé Raffet and their imitators had helped to create. The desolate battleground of "The empire means peace" no. 26 offers an ironic commentary on an epigram uttered by Napoleon III in 1852. His "Square Napoleon" no. 14 displays the gravestones of those for whose death the Emperor has been responsible beginning with the Boulevard Monmartre in the winter of 1851 and ending with Sedan in 1870. In Cham's "The reverse of the Saint Helena medal" no. 30 indeed the country's disaster is attributed specifically to Napoleon Bonaparte as well as to Napoleon III. Daumier's first plate for 1871 showing France "Appalled by her heritage" no. 17 is bleak indeed but a later design offers a gleam of hope: "Poor France!. The trunk blasted but the roots hold fast" no. 33.<br/><br/>It should be mentioned that Cham's contributions to this album though trivial in comparison with Daumier's monumental compositions are by no means negligible. He provides the detail that Daumier omitted. The horrors of the bombardment are recorded in his plates but so too is the black humor of Parisian life during the siege. For example he shows the population pursuing food in any form - horses cats rats even a large woman regarded with speculation by an impudent boy: "No more meat! - Let's go then!" no. 20.<br/><br/>The plates included in Album du siège were transferred to zinc for engraving by Gillot's process rather than printed directly from Daumier's lithographic stones."

001956Bruges and Ostende: J. Buffa. Half Morocco . Very Good. Cham Victor Eeckhout H. Borremans van Cuyck Gerlier F. Stroobant J. Van de Putte Baldisseroni de Nestele spellings of these names somewhat elastic. N.d. circa 1860. A fabulous collection of hand-colored plates of the popular Belgian beach resort with a mix of character studies mostly of the local non-fashionable citizenry humorous genre scenes and views of the beach the architecture the beachgoers the sea. 52 plates in all all but one of which is hand-colored the final plate is a folding tinted panorama of the beach looking in from the sea . Some of the beach scenes are evocative of Boudin. The mix of humor and more sober portraits lends a balance from which we can better approximate the culture and atmosphere at this early destination resort. And through the pictures we can sense the uneasy embrace of the vacationing bathers with the sea. The colored plates are all 13.5 by 10 inches or 34 by 25 cm including their margins. The plates are mostly clean but there is some finger soiling and the like in the margins and a few plates have chips and small chunks of card missing never affecting the images. Rebacked with attractive green morocco. The contemporary cloth boards are soiled with a few minor edge dings. No title and no evidence there ever was one. <br/><br/> J. Buffa unknown books
