Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard was a 19th century French illustrator and caricaturist who published under the pseudonym of Grandville. He has been called "the first star of French caricature's great age" and Grandville's book illustrations are described as featuring "elements of the symbolic dreamlike and incongruous and they retain a sense of social commentary."<br /> <br /> "His perverse vision sought the monster in everyone and took delight in the strangest and most pernicious transfigurement of the human shape ever produced by the Romantic imagination." The anthropomorphic vegetables and zoomorphic figures that populated his cartoons anticipated and influenced the work of generations of cartoonists and illustrators from John Tenniel to Gustave Doré to Félicien Rops and Walt Disney. He has also been called a "proto-surrealist" and was greatly admired by André Breton and others in the movement. unknown

183047366Paris.: Chez Bulla et Che Aubert. 1830. Loose as issued with the original lithograph cover. Oblong small folio. 272 x 364 mm. Lithograph title / wrapper with monochrome vignette by Grandville on pink wove paper 348 x 268 mm and nine monochrome lithographs on cream wove paper with printed caption / title beneath and numbered at upper right each with additional colouring by hand and heightened with gum arabic all the lithographs save the first are signed J. Grandville. The complete series of Grandville's very scarce unfinished suite of satirical and moralistic hand-coloured lithographs.Planned originally to have 23 plates the publisher Bulla stopped publication after the ninth plate because of the political events of July 1830. As noted by Clive Getty: 'Comme dans 'Les Métamorphoses du Jour' Grandville a probablement glissé quelques caricatures politiques parmi les planches moralisantes du 'Voyage pour l'Eternité où apparaissent vraisemblablement des personnages du gouvernement de Charles X.'Grandville took the idea for this set from Holbein's 'Dance of Death' series bringing the scenes up to date. Here according to Grandville death works in a pharmacy mixing drugs in the army as a prostitute chef chimney sweep and so on.Honoré de Balzac wrote see 'La Silhouette' Vol. 2 Livraison 4 pg. 28: 'De la profondeur philosophique et de la caricature voilà ce qu'on ne fait qu'en France et qu'a Paris. M. Grandville avait donné de la bêtise aux hommes de l'esprit aux animaux il vient de donner de la gaieté à la mort.'The plates are titled as follows:No. 1 - 'C'est ici le dernier relais'.No. 2 - 'Vais-je bien . vous avancez horriblement!'No. 3 - 'Monsieur le Baron on vous demande . Dites que je n'y suis pas.'No. 4 - 'Soyez tranquille j'ai un Garçon qui ne se trompe jamais.'No. 5 - 'Voilà Messieurs un plat de mon métier.'No. 6 - 'Voulez vous monter chez moi mon petit Monsieur vous n'en serez pas faché aller.'No. 7 - ' . pour une Consultation docteur j'en suis j'vous suis . '.No. 8 - 'Oui Madame ce sera bien la proménade la plus délicieuse! . une voiture dans le dernier goût! . un Cheval qui fend l'air et le meilleur Groom de France! .
