Unidentified bookplate "Nec Tu Semper Eris" You will not always be on verso of front flyleaf. Housed in the original blue leather edged patterned paper board slipcase. 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. ". Drawing on traditional and modern techniques and forms of decoration Meuniere mixed classical punches. with newly fashionable incised and modeled leather panels. His output was prodigious; by 1897 he had produced roughly six hundred bindings" Art Nouveau and Art Deco Bookbinding.<br /> <br /> <br /> Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book 200.

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

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.

184747800Paris.: Gabriel de Gonet. 1847. Poster. 448 x 277 mm. Single sheet of unwatermarked cream wove paper with printed text and hand-coloured illustration recto only traces of folds printer's credit at lower right. The original publicity poster with a hand-coloured vignette for Grandville's 'Les Fleurs Animées'.A very good example of this very scarce poster announcing the forthcoming publication of Grandville's remarkable anthropomorphic series 'Les Fleurs Animées'. As with many of Grandville's illustrated books 'Les Fleurs Animées' was published as a serial with each 'livraison' available for 50 centimes 'coloriée'.The vignette for the poster within a frame 130 x 110 mm corresponds to Grandville's 'Tulipe' the hand-coloured illustration for 'La Sultane Tulipia' in volume I of the book; for the poster the earlier version the vignette also coloured by hand is smaller and reversed to the book version but with subtle differences to the later version. The poster illustration is credited in the image to Grandville and to 'PORRET. BLANADET.' who did also the pictorial title for volume 1 while the book version is credited to Grandville and to Charles Geoffroy.The poster printed in Paris by Imprimerie Lacour et Cie. in rue St-Hyacinthe-St-Michel who also printed the livraisons provides all detail: 'UN BEAU VOLUME / grand in-8º. / PUBLIÉ PAR / LIVRAISONS COLORIÉES / à 30 centimes. / L'OUVRAGE COMPLET / formera 60 à 70 livraisons / IL PARAIT / UNE OU DEUX LIVRAISONS PAR SEMAINE.'The poster itself is announced in the Bibliographie de la France ou Journal Général de l'Imprimerie et de la Librairie &c.' for 1846 as: 'Les Fleurs animées par J. J. Grandville affiche: dessin destiné à être affiché dans l'intérieur des établissements de librairie pour annoncer la publication d'un ouvrage ayant le même titre.'Antoine-Auguste Renouard's collection of 'affiches de libraire' featured a poster for 'Les Fleurs Animées' but we have been unable to ascertain whether it was this poster. Another poster for 'Les Fleurs Animées' was certainly issued likely at a later date as it announces '100 livraisons' each priced '25 centimes'. Gabriel de Gonet. unknown
