London: Rudolph Ackermann 1817. Delightful example of the "line and dot" caricature craze of the Regency period. Although the art of the stick figure dates back to prehistoric times English caricaturist George Moutard Woodward is generally credited with inspiring the modern "pinmen" genre with his "Multum in Parvo or Lilliputian Sketches" early in the nineteenth century. Soon publishers across London were turning out prints of comically expressive pinmen hunting riding dueling flirting and acting Shakespeare. In February 1817 Ackermann's Repository of Arts published a satirical poem "Dottator et Lineator Loquitur" from the perspective of an exultant caricaturist: "I know that I can do much more / Than artists ever did before; / With but a DOT and eke a LINE / In ev'ry shape and act I'll shine." The poem was illustrated with a series of pinmen performing scenes from a ball: "Asking to Dance" "Cross Hands" "Hornpipe" and so on. This engraving printed on heavy paper and trimmed within the plate mark features the same dancers depicted in the pages of Ackermann's. A very good caricature print. Engraved caricature print measuring 3.75 x 8.25 inches imprint trimmed. Occasional stray spot. [Rudolph Ackermann] unknown books

France: no publisher no date early twentieth century. Striking hand-colored sheet of six "images d'Épinal." Inexpensive broadsides like these were hugely popular in France in the nineteenth century: naïve woodcuts brightly colored featuring images of Catholic saints Napoleonic battles and storybook characters. By the turn of the twentieth century lithography had emerged as the primary printing process and the range of subjects had greatly expanded but there was still a market for images printed in the old style a graphic tradition that influenced modernists from Henri Rousseau to Alfred Jarry. This group of six separate images printed from blocks on a sheet of Ingres d'Arches paper may be a publisher's proof. The domestic and religious subjects include a young woman reaching for a flower the devotional image of Christ in the winepress and an angel watching over the city gates. A fine example. Single sheet of six woodblock prints printed recto only and colored en pochoir measuring 14.75 x 19 inches. no publisher unknown
