Chez Hetzel et Paulin à Paris 1842 18 x 27 cm 2 volumes reliés First edition admirably illustrated with 201 hors-texte figures and 120 vignettes by Grandville. Hetzel's publisher's preface most often absent is here present before the prologue. Most copies begin directly with the prologue. 2 frontispieces. Contemporary half-navy shagreen bindings with corners. Spine with false flat raised bands with 4 compartments composed of thick and thin fillets one with fleuron mirror tooling on the raised bands gilt title. In a way not perceptible at first glance there exist small differences between the 2 volumes which were bound by the same binder but not at the same time: thus the typography of the title is noticeably different the compartment with the fleuron has no thick fillet framing. The volumes bear no volume numbering. We know that the 2 volumes did not appear at the same time and that the first volume appeared separately and that a second part a continuation was added afterwards. The binding seems to have followed the publication process. Traces of rubbing. Some pale foxing on well-white paper however foxing on the half-titles and the last page of the table of contents. Handsome copy. This famous publication needs no introduction a satire of contemporary Parisian society of the Second Empire whose enterprise is due to Hetzel who under the pseudonym of Stahl signed several texts and commissioned texts from the most famous pens of the time: Balzac Musset Sand La Bedollière. The last chapter recounts the imprisonment of the different writers whom one can see in locations at the Jardin des plantes where we see Grandville from behind drawing them.

1854119159Paris: Gustave Havard 1854. Making a mockery of mankind First edition in book form of Grandville's masterpiece of satirical illustration. The work originally appeared as a portfolio of hand-coloured lithographs printed by Langlumé in 1829; this edition was enlarged with an accompanying text and reproduces the illustrations as wood-engravings. The task of re-engraving the images on wood was entrusted to Auguste Desperet 1804-1865 a skilled artist "whose talent was highly regarded by Grandville himself who considered him to be his collaborator" tr. from Brivois. Grandville the pseudonym of Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard 1803-1847 was the most famous and talented French caricaturist of the period. Les métamorphoses du jour was his first major success and the work which established his reputation. The illustrations inaugurated his characteristic "bitter burlesque" style which exposes human vices and behaviours by giving men and women the heads of animals. The work was intended as a satirical commentary on the Parisian burgeois society of the 1820s. "Lust gluttony anger and the other deadly sins are stigmatized now with the blow of a hammer now with the thrust of a stiletto; while the foibles and humors of mankind also receive due attention. Throughout the series Grandville's choice of beast-heads is inspired; and the force of his conceptions and the wit of his captions rarely falter" Ray p. 198. Large octavo 255 x 158 mm. With 70 wood-engraved and hand-coloured plates; title page and verso of last leaf printed in red and green incorporating black wood-engraved vignette. Near-contemporary red half morocco by Émile Rousselle of Paris spine with raised bands gilt lettering in second compartment marbled sides and endpapers top edge gilt others trimmed. A touch of wear at corners short splits to rear joint ends inner hinges cracked but firm a few spots of foxing to endpapers and occasional edges short closed tear to margin of one leaf slight offsetting from plates else clean.

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.
