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.
