Some light wear to extremities still a very fine copy of this great rarity. <br /> <br /> Exceedingly rare suite of whimsical prints depicting French society enjoying the foibles and vices of carnival. <br /> <br /> Gavarni the pen name of Sulpice Guillaume Chevalier was a highly successful French illustrator and his work is accredited with capturing the essence of excess that enraptured Paris in the 19th century. Souvenirs de Carnaval is given the date '1837' based on the date inscribed on the stone on plate 5. The majority of Gavarni's later works centered around serious subject matter: they sought to unpack the failings of French familial life and directly and pointedly critiqued Parisian society. However his earlier published prints as seen with the present suite displayed a more whimsical and lighter satirical take on the popular pleasures of the Capital capturing the debauchery and decadence of high society life. <br /> <br /> Most of Gavarni's later works which became more serious were aimed at a different section of the public which had previously granted him so wide a popularity as did his works on Carnival of which this was one of the last.<br /> <br /> RBH only lists one copy at auction in the last 50 years this copy.<br /> <br /> OCLC & KVK locate just one uncolored example in libraries and institutions worldwide: The Gordon N.

Eighteen of twenty plates with Bouvenne's ink and/or color smudges at margins demonstrating their work-plate status.<br /> <br /> Second only to Daumier as the greatest social commentator and satirical artist of nineteenth century France Gavarni produced the work under notice during his first period whence he confined himself to the study of Parisian manners particularly those of the city's youth. Souvenirs du Bal Chicard Memories of the Chicard Ball dates from when he was in charge of the journal Le Charivari and was a regular at Paris's most prestigious balls for which he often designed many costumes. During this time many of his finest lithographic sets drew their subject matter from these costume balls including Souvenirs du Bal Chicard .<br /> <br /> "Costume balls had been a part of carnival celebrations in France since the fifteenth century but their popularity was unprecedented during the period of the July Monarchy. At first private and aristocratic they became increasingly popular among the new bourgeoisie and the aspiring lower classes when they could afford them. One of the more exclusive expensive fifteen francs and licentious of these bal masqués was also one of the most popular. The Bal Chicard was given by a prosperous businessman Alexandre Lévêque who was called by the nickname Chicard. Gavarni was a friend of Chicard's and as a result was one of those regularly in attendance. In this image "Chicard" from Souvenirs du Bal Chicard a series of twenty lithographs published in Le Charivari between 1839 and 1843 we see one of the parodies of the earlier historic costumes of the bal masqué made famous at the Bal Chichard along with some wilder forms of dancing" Beatrice Farwell The Charged Image: French Lithographic Caricature 1816-1848 p. 86.<br /> <br /> " In another image "Troubadour" from the same series.Gavarni depicts an uninhibited dancer whose cap rests temporarily on the bottle of wine on the floor behind him. Gavarni's intention here has obviously been to capture the character of the wild dancing for which the Bal Chicard was noted. In a pentimento he has disguised a previously drawn extended arm by incorporating it into the drapery that flies off at the left but it remains easy to visualize the figure with three arms. Gavarni not only drew the costumes he saw at the balls but also designed costumes for use there. This troubadour's costume purports to be a version of the late medieval doublet and hose with anachronistic modifications frequently seen at the Bal Chicard here emphasized by the pipe in the reveler's mouth" Beatrice Farwell The Charged Image: French Lithographic Caricature 1816-1848 p. 88.<br /> <br /> Armelhaut and Boucher L'Oeuvre de Gavarni pp. 253 524 and nos. 257 "Chicard" and 2280 "Troubadour".
