For all their apparent ingenuousness his appealing children are preternaturally sharp. They see and hear everything in their little world and they are infallible in announcing their discoveries where they will cause the most embarrassment. So a little boy asks a visitor: 'Sir who is it that invented gunpowder.since Papa says it isn't you' no. 10; or a little girl informs a suitor: 'Aunt Amelia says that you are very nice; but it's a pity that you are too stupid' no. 32" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book.<br /> <br /> "The forty-nine prints in Gavarni's series Les enfants terribles are among his most popular and well-known works legendary for their witty and memorable captions. Gavarni's enfants terribles are social landmines "holy terrors" who wittingly or unwittingly reveal the pettiness and duplicity of their parents. An illustrator of children's books Gavarni was the father of two children of his own to whom he was very attached. Gavarni loved the spontaneous poses and gestures of children and admired them for their disarming honesty. The term enfants terribles originally reserved for terrifyingly candid children who embarrass their parents came to be used to describe unconventional or unorthodox artists and writers-like Baudelaire and Flaubert-whose works reveal harsh truths about society that are embarrassing to guardians of the status quo." Allen Memorial Art Museum.<br /> <br /> "As the historical antecedent to Dennis the Menace and Calvin and Hobbes Les Enfans terribles was far more incisive and revealing in its social commentary. In its images Gavarni regularly uses the quasi-innocent questions or remarks of children to put the world of the adults around them in disarray. The subject is more often than not the marital or extra-marital situations of the grown-ups" Beatrice Farwell The Charged Image p. 91.<br /> <br /> According to OCLC there is just one example in libraries & institutions worldwide: The Gordon Ray copy at The Morgan Library & Museum NY USA - also apparently without the pictorial hand colored title-page.<br /> <br /> Paul Gavarni 1804-1866. "A French artist best known for his lithographs Paul Gavarni née Chevalier Suplice Guillaume was born in Paris on January 13 1804. Throughout his lifetime Gavarni produced over 4000 satirical prints for journals and fashion magazines. Both delicately witty and elegantly revealing of human behavior and character Gavarni's genre scenes made him one of the most important and popular nineteenth-century artists. He is often critically paired with Honoré Daumier with whom he and other young printmakers like Jean-Jacques Grandville and Joseph Traviés raised the status and importance of social lithography and printmaking as an art form.<br /> <br /> The Plates:<br /> <br /> 1.

This is the most masterly of Gavarni's earlier series. Ladies of the evening of a certain standing had come to be called lorettes because they often lived in the handsome new buildings of the Rue Notre Dame de Lorette. No subject could have been better suited to Gavarni's talents. Indeed Paul de Saint Victor observed preface to D'Après nature II 2 that "the lorette is for him what the actress of the Italian Comedy was for Watteau." Gavarni shows them without malice and without indulgence exactly as they were. The grisette of Les étudiants de Paris was an ingratiating figure; not so the lorette. Love is their business and they drive hard bargains. They are as luxurious and idle as they are beautiful. Their lives are a tissue of deception and hypocrisy. Among themselves their conversation is cynical to the point of brutality. Their men usually twice their age also cut a poor figure. At best these gentlemen command a wry irony which derives from their awareness of being dupes. Gavarni presents these brittle and glittering creatures with great deftness. The packed and subtle dialogue of the legends would not be amiss in a novel by Stendhal. It is difficult to select from his remarkable compositions but one cannot overlook. no. 27 in which a lorette in her bath indulges in a rare moment of speculative conversation with a friend." Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book pp. 223-224.<br /> Note. Gordon Ray's copy had 73 of the 79 hand colored lithographs - missing nos. 19-24.<br /> <br /> "Lorette was a colloquialism for a new type of prostitute who was kept in relative luxury in the apartment buildings that had been constructed in the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette church. Gavarni's sharp-eyed observations of Parisian society in works like these demonstrate his value as a documentarian of his times." Bobins V p. 64 #1541.<br /> <br /> "In 1837 Gavarni began his connection with Le charivari which did not conclude until 1848. In all he drew 1054 lithographs for his journal.Most of these appeared in series some twenty-five of which extend to ten or more plates and were afterwards published by Aubert in albums. Perhaps the best of these collections are Fourberies de femmes en matière de sentiment Les étudiants de Paris Les débardeurs and Les lorettes; but some of the rest are of hardly inferior interest. Still further series contributed to periodicals other than Le charivari were also issued as albums. Baudelaire had this part of Gavarni's work particularly in mind when he wrote.that 'the true glory and the true mission of Gavarni and Daumier has been to complete Balzac.' Certainly the pictures of Parisian society provided by the two artists perfectly complement each other. Daumier's preoccupation was the working middle class with faces and figures heavily marked by life. Gavarni remained for the most part outside the humdrum bourgeois round. He preferred to show 'youth at the prow and pleasure at the helm.' His pretty girls and sleek young men are bent on enjoyment. They live lives of graceful dissipation with love intrigues and balls on the one hand and pawnbrokers' shops and debtors' prisons on the other.In 1846 Gavarni returned to Le charivari to which he had hardly contributed since 1843. He wished to call the series that ensued Choses de Paris but was persuaded instead to employ the general title Oeuvres nouvelles. Its major albums were Carnaval; Impressions de ménage deuxième série thirty-nine lithographs 1846-1847; and Baliverneries parisiens twenty-four lithographs 1847" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book pp. 217-218.<br /> <br /> Armelhault & Bocher 763-841; Beraldi VII p.51 # 107; Bobins V 1541.
