An excellent example of Grandville's favorite work.<br /> <br /> "After Un autre monde the fifty-two colored engravings of Les fleurs animées are the chief example of Grandville's effort to penetrate to the meaning of objects like an 'intellectual miner' preface to Les étoiles p. xi even though only fifteen of the designs are entirely from his hand Bouchot p. 58. Though the images in the book are of Grandville's time his manner of proceeding is that of an artist of the modern movement exploring the same subject through a sequence of slight but significant variations. Most of the plates show an elegant lady in a garden her dress covered with an extraordinary pattern of flowers. She is sometimes accompanied by respectful creatures animals and insects even fish and reptiles. As the series nears its end there are more elaborate scenes of flower-ladies in groups. A little world is created governed by its own laws which was full of significance to Grandville and hence becomes so to the reader as well. His first biographer wrote in the preface to Les étoiles pp. xiii-ix: 'The Fleurs animées are the very thought of Grandville; they were his favorite work the work into the execution of which he put all that was in him of poetic and gracious originality of dexterity of mind and observation of that prodigious perspicacity which made him divine affinities hitherto unperceived by anyone and discover new worlds'" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book. <br /> <br /> Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book 198.

18471679151847. GRANDVILLE J.J. Les Fleurs Animées. Introduction by Alphonse Karr. Text by Taxile Delord. Two volumes. 3-260; 2 102 4 iv 2 106-166 2 iv 169-234 2 pp. illustrated with 2 engraved title-pages 50 hand-coloured engraved plates by Grandville plus 2 engraved botanical plates. 4to 264 x 178 mm. bound in original publisher's cartonnage bindings richly gilt a.e.g. Paris: Gabriel de Gonet 1847. A fine copy in the original publisher's cartonnage bindings a true classic of floral surrealism. This copy with superb hand colouring to the engravings belongs to a hitherto undescribed edition with a separate pagination for the two parts. Of all his works Les Fleurs Animées was Grandville's own personal favorite. In the fifty hand-coloured plates Grandville portrays a flower or plant metamorphosized into a lady clad in the petals or leaves particular to that flower or plant. Further his flower turned human exhibits the human personality traits which Grandville perceives as characteristic of the species he is illustrating. Les Fleurs Animées is "a little world created and governed by its own laws which was full of significance for Grandville" Ray. Occasional inoffensive foxing not detracting from the finely coloured plates. Two tipped on gilt-stamped pieces from the spine missing. Now rare in the publisher's binding.

Zweite Ausgabe / Texte von Taxile Delord Beaulieu Huart Jules Janin u.a. / Mit einem Vorwort von Charles Blanc / Text französisch / Das erste größere Werk J. J. 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

007957Paris; Brussels: Chez Bulla; Chez Borella. 1st Edition . No Binding. Very Good. Folio - over 12 - 15" tall. GRANDVILLE J. J. LANGLUME Pierre 1790-. 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
18364094Paris: Aubert et cie Place de La Bourse 29 1836. Hardcover. Very Good. 1836. Oblong 4to. 71 leaves of plates. 30 x 23 cm. Original illustrated green paper boards with gilt lettering. 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
186954121869. Grandvilleillus. LES METAMORPHOSES DU JOUR. The book together with AN ORIGINAL PREPARATORY DRAWING FOR PLATE III. Texts by various writers. Paris 1869 1st was 1829. 3/4 red morocco over marbled boards with the original wraps bound-in t.e.g. lxiii 480pp. 71 hand-colored lithographed plates Title 70 plates plus a profusion of wood-engraved in-text illustrations. Near Fine inside and out with the plates very fresh. Offered together with an original preparatory drawing for Plate III "Tu t'entetes a jouer avec Monsieur tu vois bien qu'il retourne le roi a chaque coup." Pen & Ink over Black Chalk. 5 x 7 1/8 in.; 127 x 182 mm Signed lower right "Grandville." 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
