First Edition. "The moving force behind this book was its publisher P.-J. Hetzel who himself contributed many chapters under the pseudonym of P.-J. Stahl Through Grandvilles animals Hetzel and his colleagues offered a witty and telling commentary on contemporary politics and personalities. Bouchot described the result as the best satire on French manners during the middle of the century recalling "the anger to which it gave rise the outbursts of laughter it provoked and the lawsuits of which it ran the risk." These allusions pass largely unnoticed today but Grandvilles animals remain as amusing as ever thanks to the wit and verve of his compositions. The types and situations he depicts are indeed "of every period and every country." "The final plate shows the artist at the zoo of the Jardin des Plantes. He is sketching the visiting creatures who in turn are peering at cages containing Hetzel Balzac Jules Janin and other authors of the Scènes de la vie privée et publique des animaux. It should be noted that the engravings for this book are by Brévière the one craftsman whose renderings of his work Grandville refused to criticize." Ray Carteret III 553.

1847988New York: R. Martin 1847. First Edition. Hardcover. 3 vols. in 1. 1st American edition in English. Exceptionally detailed bespoke contemporary full morocco signed on the cover by Jill Smith intricately inlaid white silk moiré framed endpapers bearing a gilt inscription from a husband to his wife on their wedding day Jan. 1 1859 probably dating the binding as 1858 all edges gilt light wear to covers neatly rebacked small chips to the corners of the vignette title page a trace of foxing but printed on paper vastly superior to what was general on American books in 1847 and still near fine. 50 unprecedented engraved plates of anthropomorphic plants simultaneously poetical and satirical dressed in flower and leaf enhanced French couture of the day when seamstresses were independent hired individually and came to the customer. The 50 plates are professionally and in this copy artistically hand colored the publisher’s choice of the painters he employed varies from copy to copy with 2 additional botanical plates in black and white all as called for and as issued. Complete with the errata the contents the Modern Botany for Ladies The Cultivation of Flowers Ladies Horticulture and the Supplement to Ladies Botany. The book is a famed one the binding on this copy is an additional beautification. It’s the quality sometimes seen on French editions of Grandville’s works but not encountered on his translations into English. And for a mid–century binding on an American book it’s extraordinary. Collation: 385pp. 152p. 8p. In these illustrations Grandville followed in the steps of the likes of Bosch Bruegel and Goya as ancestors in the first hazy light before sunrise of what became the grotesque in surrealism more evident to me in the 2nd of the 3 plates opposite page 136 the one opposite page 230 the one opposite page 252 and that opposite page 261. And these were 18 years before Tenniel’s assault on reality in Alice in Wonderland and 70 years before surrealism was named when it hatched out of Dada in the 1920s. Grandville’s other major works including The Animals and Another World combined with this one to express the varieties and possibilities of the concept and marked him as an inventive genius without peer in his time.

He has been called "the first star of French caricature's great age" and Grandville's book illustrations described as featuring "elements of the symbolic dreamlike and incongruous and they retain a sense of social commentary." "His perverse vision sought the monster in everyone and took delight in the strangest and most pernicious transfigurement of the human shape ever produced by the Romantic imagination.<br /> <br /> Grandville Philipon and Daumier achieved a level of celebrity status among factions of the public as much for their defiant opposition as their cartoons. His political cartoons enjoyed great popularity with the public and were held in high regard by many. Publishers and editors such as Edouard Charton of Le magasin pittoresque as gave Grandville the freedom to choose his own subjects and create his images. The business of caricaturing was financially tenuous. The papers typically paid cartoonist by the print and artist considered themselves lucky to receive a contract for drawing on a regular basis. Grandville had made his earlier lithographs himself but after he started producing cartoons for the periodicals about 1831 and his later book illustrations he typically turned his original drawings over to publishers who had lithographers and woodcut engravers copy his images for printing." <br /> <br /> Renonciat pp. 99-102 104 108 112 134 & 213.
