Grandvilles eigentlich Jean-Ignace-Isidore Gérard das er 1829 bei Bulla in Paris als Sammlung von 70 Lithographien herausbrachte und ihn mit einem Schlag berühmt machte. Für diese spätere Ausgabe wurden von zeitgenössischen Autoren zusätzliche Texte verfaßt und die Verleger griffen für die Vignetten zu Beginn jedes der 70 Kapitel und die Illustrationen am Ende cul-de-lampe auf andere spätere Zeichnungen von Grandville zurück. So wurde beispielsweise die Illustration am Schluß ein Selbstbildnis Grandvilles den "Cent Proverbes" Hundert Sprichwörter entnommen. Wenngleich viele Illustrationen sich auf aktuelle Anlässe bezogen bleiben die Schilderungen menschlichen Verhaltens doch zeitlos / J. J. Grandville's actually Jean-Ignace-Isidore Gérard first major work published in 1829 by Bulla in Paris as a collection of 70 lithographs catapulted him to fame. For this later edition contemporary authors contributed additional texts and the publishers used other later drawings by Grandville for the vignettes at the beginning of each of the 70 chapters and the illustrations at the end cul-de-lampe. For example the final illustration a self-portrait of Grandville was taken from "Cent Proverbes" One Hundred Proverbs. Although many illustrations referenced current events the depictions of human behavior remain timeless - unknown

THE VERY RARE FIRST EDITION OF GRANDVILLE'S METAMORPHOSES 1828-1829. First edition of this famous series of plates oblong quartos sixty two of seventy three hand coloured lithographed plates with French titles captions and imprints lacking Plates 8 16 39 43 46 47 51 66 69 71 and 72. Without title and Achille Comte's single leaf preface often lacking. Completely uncut and loosely laid into contemporary blue paper wrappers very minor marginal browning damp staining or spotting to a few places not affecting images small margin repaired tear pl54. With vividly coloured plates 26 with titles in French the remainder in French & English. Housed in a blue cloth clamshell case. 367274 mm. Vicaire V cols. 775-780. Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book 132. This famous album which established Grandville's early style of bitter burlesque has become rare. Indeed it is known to many of his admirers only through the greatly inferior volume of seventy wood engraved reproductions published by Havard in 1854. Lust gluttony anger and the other deadly sins are stigmatised now with the blow of a hammer now with the thrust of a stiletto; while the foibles and humours 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. Perhaps his most terrifying plate is 'Menagerie' no 67 which shows four prison cells. In the first are complacent commercial offenders enjoying all the comforts of home; in the second violent criminals sly or stupid; in the third murderers one with the countenance of the utmost ferocity; in the forth political prisoners quiet and despondent. Grandville turned to direct political satire in his final plates but the publication of his onslaughts on church 'Famille des scarabees' No 72 and state 'Une bete Feroce' No 73 was not permitted in France Ray. This set contains one Une bete feroce No 73 of the two particularly rare suppressed plates containing the Brussels imprint of Borella. Lith. de Langlume. Overall a superb collection from this extremely scarce edition. <br/> <br/> Chez Bulla; Chez Borella unknown

Re-impression of the first edition published in 1829. One of two variant copies noted by Vicaire each with a slightly different title and title page information. I could only find four auction records of this 1836 edition. Three of these had the extended title. This copy with the shorter title last appeared at auction in 2012. This copy not coloured and without the suppressed plates. Although later editions of this work are quite common this re-impression appears to be quite rare especially in the original boards and in such excellent condition. Head of spine and board tips with light wear the plates are a little age toned and foxed around the edges. G. Vicaire 5 780; L. Carteret3 284; Ray 197. Aubert et cie, Place de La Bourse, 29 hardcover

The drawing shows the left two thirds of the published plate the two figures conversing the fox playing cards and the table with the cloth and the lamp in finished form; a female figure is drawn lightly in pencil seated on the other side of the table playing cards with the fox. In the published drawing this figure has been changed and a fifth figure to the right has been added. The design of the lamp has also been modified. In Fine condition. Original artwork by Grandville is uncommon and a piece showing a stage in the creative development of a work of such fame and importance as Les Metamorphoses is particularly interesting and appealing. $3500.00 Grandville JEAN-IGNACE-ISIDORE GERARD 1803-1847 was a caricaturist best known for presenting animals in human form and using them to satirize the French social and political milieu of his period. His reputation was established with Metamorphoses du Jour in 1829 and he went on to illustrate numerous other satirical books as well as literary classics. He also drew for the humor magazines of the period "Charivari" and "Caricature." His work has continued to influence artists down to the present day. paperback

1869168897Paris: Garnier Frères 1869. Second edition of Grandville's masterpiece of satirical illustration featuring his famous engravings of beast-headed people. It was improved from the first of 1854 by printing the plates on heavier paper and revising or augmenting the captions; the artist's signature was also added to many of them. The work originally appeared as a portfolio of hand-coloured lithographs printed by Langlumé in 1829; the book form edition in 1854 was the first to include an accompanying text and reproduce 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. Quarto. Wood-engraved frontispiece and 70 similar plates all hand-coloured and with tissue guards numerous wood-engraved vignettes in text. Original red quarter roan red pebble-grain cloth sides blocked in blind spine with raised bands compartments lettered and decorated in gilt cream textured endpapers edges gilt. Wear to extremities short cracks at joints ends but firm spine skilfully retouched with colour small repair at tail peripheral fading and couple small of damp-stains to cloth intermittent and mainly marginal foxing to contents otherwise generally clean the plates vibrant.
