He found fame with his first published collection of songs and poems in 1815 Chansons morales et autre. His material was greatly in demand in in the singing societies or 'goguettes' which sprang up during the Restoration and the July Monarchy as a means of circumventing censorship laws and the ban on political parties. He was a highly successful performer of his own songs and thus an ancestor of post war French chansonniers. He has been described as the most 'popular songwriter of all time' and 'the first superstar of French popular music' L. Portis French Frenzie. A Social History of Popular Music in France' 2004 pp. 11ff.</p><p>These six pencil drawings were produced in his lifetime and dedicated to him by the artist A. Dubuloy.</p><p>Dubouloy has deliberately given Berenger's <em>Amphigouri</em> a 'diabolical' twist and depicts his figures within the gaping mouth of the Devil. The illustrations were apparently never published.</p> n.p.
