Originally issued in parts. this is the first book 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 Grandville's 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 Grandville's 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.

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. One of Grandville's great works of imagination full of verve and fantasy. Chez Hetzel et Paulin hardcover

Chez Hetzel et Paulin à Paris 1842 17.70 x 27 cm 2 volumes reliés First edition admirably illustrated with 201 plates and 120 vignettes by Grandville. This first volume correctly has the first third of the work printed on tinted paper while the rest is on white paper a characteristic of the first printing; most copies are from a second printing as the leaves are also white like the rest of the work. Moreover Hetzel's publisher's preface usually absent is present here before the prologue. Most copies begin directly with the prologue. The frontispiece of volume 1 has been placed facing p. 32 the engraved half-title entitled Scène de moeurs serving as frontispiece; this half-title is often absent from most copies. The frontispiece and engraved title of volume 2 as well as an engraved half-title also entitled 2e partie have been preserved without the title page of the second volume which has not been bound in this copy. These 2 half-titles in the first volume Scène de moeurs in the second volume 2e partie are very often absent from copies. Near-contemporary half red shagreen bindings with corners. Spines with raised bands with 3 decorated compartments gilt title and volume number. Separation fillets on boards. Combed edges echoing the pattern of the endpapers. Signs of rubbing.

Since La Fontaine's poems are a veiled commentary on human behavior this formula works to admiration. Even Oudry's drawings do not always match Grandville's in psychological penetration however superior they may be in other respects. Grandville is effective as well with uncostumed animals even if he sometimes took them from Buffon rather than from life but less so with human subjects" Ray. Garnier Freres unknown
