183047366Paris.: Chez Bulla et Che Aubert. 1830. Loose as issued with the original lithograph cover. Oblong small folio. 272 x 364 mm. Lithograph title / wrapper with monochrome vignette by Grandville on pink wove paper 348 x 268 mm and nine monochrome lithographs on cream wove paper with printed caption / title beneath and numbered at upper right each with additional colouring by hand and heightened with gum arabic all the lithographs save the first are signed J. Grandville. The complete series of Grandville's very scarce unfinished suite of satirical and moralistic hand-coloured lithographs.Planned originally to have 23 plates the publisher Bulla stopped publication after the ninth plate because of the political events of July 1830. As noted by Clive Getty: 'Comme dans 'Les Métamorphoses du Jour' Grandville a probablement glissé quelques caricatures politiques parmi les planches moralisantes du 'Voyage pour l'Eternité où apparaissent vraisemblablement des personnages du gouvernement de Charles X.'Grandville took the idea for this set from Holbein's 'Dance of Death' series bringing the scenes up to date. Here according to Grandville death works in a pharmacy mixing drugs in the army as a prostitute chef chimney sweep and so on.Honoré de Balzac wrote see 'La Silhouette' Vol. 2 Livraison 4 pg. 28: 'De la profondeur philosophique et de la caricature voilà ce qu'on ne fait qu'en France et qu'a Paris. M. Grandville avait donné de la bêtise aux hommes de l'esprit aux animaux il vient de donner de la gaieté à la mort.'The plates are titled as follows:No. 1 - 'C'est ici le dernier relais'.No. 2 - 'Vais-je bien . vous avancez horriblement!'No. 3 - 'Monsieur le Baron on vous demande . Dites que je n'y suis pas.'No. 4 - 'Soyez tranquille j'ai un Garçon qui ne se trompe jamais.'No. 5 - 'Voilà Messieurs un plat de mon métier.'No. 6 - 'Voulez vous monter chez moi mon petit Monsieur vous n'en serez pas faché aller.'No. 7 - ' . pour une Consultation docteur j'en suis j'vous suis . '.No. 8 - 'Oui Madame ce sera bien la proménade la plus délicieuse! . une voiture dans le dernier goût! . un Cheval qui fend l'air et le meilleur Groom de France! .

L'iconographie est complÂŽtÂŽe par des vignettes dans le texte ainsi que 5 titres dont 4 en cama•eu gravÂŽ sur papier fort. Boileau est au XVIIÂme l'un des principaux thÂŽoriciens de l'esthÂŽtique classique en littÂŽrature ce qui lui vaudra plus tard le surnom de ÇÊlÂŽgislateur du ParnasseÊÈ. Il est l'un des chefs de file du clan des Anciens dans la querelle des Anciens et des Modernes une polÂŽmique littÂŽraire et artistique qui agite l'AcadÂŽmie franÂaise ˆ la fin du XVIIe siÂcle et qui oppose deux courants antagonistes sur leurs conceptions culturelles. Comme poÂte Boileau entreprend de dÂŽfinir le gožt et cherche ˆ fixer d'une maniÂre claire et prÂŽcise les lois et les ressources de la poÂŽsie classique. Prenant modÂle auprÂs des grands poÂtes de l'AntiquitÂŽ qu'il dÂŽfend et qu'il admire il travaille avec une lente rigueur et cherche ˆ ne pas Âtre injuste dans ses satires. MalgrÂŽ la prÂŽvention des philosophes du xviiieÊsiÂcle Boileau est aujourd'hui encore souvent pris comme rÂŽfÂŽrence scolaire pour la justesse la soliditÂŽ et le gožt l'art de conserver ˆ chaque genre la couleur qui lui est propre l'objectivitÂŽ dans ses tableaux comme dans ses jugements l'art de faire valoir les mots par leur arrangement de relever les petits dÂŽtails d'agrandir son sujet d'ench‰sser des pensÂŽes fortes et ÂŽnergiques dans des vers harmonieux mais toujours dominÂŽs par la raison.

1836375399Paris: Aubert 1836. Quarter-bound brown calf and silk jacquard decoratively stamped in gilt on covers and spin. Shelf worn with edge wear to margins and corners some chipped. Foxing to interior pages. Reimpression of the 1829 edition with the same 71 plates framed here in double black lines but missing the original preface as well as the extra two Belgian plates issued in 1830 and afterward censored.<br /> <br /> Scathingly funny and wildly inventive each of the illustrations feature human figures with animal avian or pescatory faces in scenes ranging from looking through telescopes shopping and delivering babies to getting haircuts sauntering the streets dancing and fishing among other common everyday activities. Grandville's aim in creating the prints was to satirize the bourgeois middle class of Parisian society and thereby expose people for the beasts they really are. Aubert unknown

A wonderful copy of this lovely book with exquisite plates after Grandville. <br /> <br /> This posthumously published work Grandville died on March 17 1847 was originally issued in fifty parts the first part appearing in September 1849. "The compositions of this 'last fairy-tale' brilliantly engraved on steel by Charles Geoffroy and delicately colored form a fitting memorial to Grandville.The pattern which he follows is similar to that of Les fleurs animées. Nearly every plate has its beautiful lady clad in white and adorned with stars looming in the sky with varied scenes of earthly life below her. These designs Grandville's tranquil refuge from the turmoil that beset his mind are as charming as they are mysterious. Also included in the volume are an unsigned essay which remains the most considerable source of biographical information about Grandville and a fine portrait of him by Geoffroy I xvi with a border of his creations animals paying him tribute as well as his flower- and star-ladies" Ray. <br /> <br /> The talented Charles Meunier 1865-1940 was first apprenticed to a book binder at the eleven years old. After training with Marius-Michel he began his own binder in 1885 where he sought to be innovative and nontraditional. ".
