Gustave COURBET - Etienne BAUDRY
Le camp des bourgeois
Paris: E. Dentu 1868. Fine. E. Dentu Paris 1868 12.50 x 19 cm broché First edition for which there were no large paper copies. Work decorated with several original plate illustrations by Gustave Courbet. Spine slightly split at the head also with a small section missing. Emile Zola quotes this work in L'Evénement illustré' on 5 May 1868: 'c'est là une uvre qui fera sensation. L'auteur est un utilitaire tombant à bras raccourcis sur la bourgeoisie fainéante et oisive. . Courbet ne pouvait guère trouver un texte dont l'esprit convînt mieux à son genre de talent. Le Franc-Comtois a dû se réjouir en lui de ce plaidoyer en faveur des paysans des rudes enfants de la terre. Aussi comme il s'est mis volontiers à dauber les bourgeois les messieurs qui ne sauraient distinguer une pelle d'un râteau ! Chacun de ses dessins est une satire.' this is a work that will cause a sensation. The author is a vehicle lashing out at the lazy and idle bourgeoisie. . Courbet could scarcely find a text whose spirit was better suited to his talent. The Franc-Comtois must have rejoiced in this plea in favour of peasants the formidable children of the earth. Also since he was willing to ridicule the bourgeois gentlemen who could not tell a spade from a rake! Each of his drawings is a satire.' Very rare. E. Dentu unknown

L'Irlande sociale politique et religieuse
Paris: Librairie de Charles Gosselin 1839. Fine. Librairie de Charles Gosselin Paris 1839 13 x 21.50 cm 2 volumes reliés First edition with a false statement of third edition. Twentieth-century binding skillful pastiche of a contemporary binding in half green calf. Spine with raised bands decorated with 3 blind-tooled fleurons with roulettes on the bands at tail and head. Black calf title and volume labels. Covers and spine preserved. Very fresh paper. Some soiling on the cover of the second volume. Very handsome copy in superb condition. Important monograph on Ireland in 1830 from social economic and religious perspectives. Gustave de Beaumont stayed for 2 years in Ireland in the company of his friend Alexis de Tocqueville whose ideas and spirit he shared. He was then shocked and astounded by Ireland's state of misery. Analyzing the history of Ireland Beaumont presents the ills from which Ireland suffers under the yoke of a foreign oppressive and unjust aristocracy; Beaumont thus advances the teachings of liberalism to which he joins great moral significance and profound meaning of justice. This work received glowing reviews and was considered as ""the most serious study the most nourished with facts and the most solidly sustained in thought that has appeared in France on Ireland in the 19th century."" It was received by contemporaries as a work analogous to that which M. de Tocqueville executed with such success for the United States of America. Librairie de Charles Gosselin hardcover

Paris: Hetzel 1863. Fine. Hetzel Paris 1863 43 x 21 cm une feuille First edition. Wood engraving signed in the plate by the artist. Plate created specifically for the illustration of Cervantes' Don Quixote for the 1863 Hachette edition. Gustave Doré first traveled to Spain in 1855 in the company of Théophile Gautier and publisher Paul Dalloz. In 1861 responding to a commission from the journal Le Tour du monde he returned there with Baron Jean Charles Davillier a knowledgeable Hispanophile who would recount their journey in his Voyage en Espagne. Doré went there primarily with a view to illustrating Don Quixote: ""Je me rends donc dans la patrie de cet illustre hidalgo pour étudier tous les lieux qu'il a parcourus et remplis de ses exploits et faire ainsi une chose qui aura son parfum local"" ""I am therefore going to the homeland of this illustrious hidalgo to study all the places he has traveled through and filled with his exploits and thus create something that will have its local flavor"". Gustave Doré would thus conduct several working sessions with Louis Viardot translator of Cervantes' text. Cervantes' novel ranks among the most illustrated narratives in European literature but Doré wanted to surpass his predecessors Tony Johannot Grandville Daumier. Upon its publication in 1863 the work would be the subject of unanimous praise notably from Emile Zola: ""On appelle ça illustrer un ouvrage : moi je prétends que c'est le refaire. Au lieu d'un chef-d'oeuvre l'esprit humain en compte deux"" ""They call that illustrating a work: I claim that it's remaking it. Instead of one masterpiece the human spirit now counts two"".

Charles Perrault Contes Le Petit Poucet ""Tu vois bien que nous ne pouvons plus nourrir nos enfants"" - Gravure originale sur bois debout tirée sur chine et contrecollée sur vergé de Hollande
Paris: Hetzel 1862. Fine. Hetzel Paris 1862 29.90 x 42.10 cm une feuille Original wood engraving on end-grain wood signed in the plate by the artist and engraver. Composition created by Gustave Doré and engraved on China paper and mounted on Holland laid paper at the request of publisher Hetzel to illustrate his folio edition of Perrault's Contes in 1862. A pale marginal dampstain not touching the image as well as a discreet black spot in the center of the engraving. These illustrations of the Contes are considered the most successful of this text: Gustave Doré offers an unprecedented dramatic vision. With him everything contributes to the dramatization of the tale from the theatrical staging of the tableau to the smallest details that generate terrifying realism through the technique known as ""tinted wood"". He uses India ink or gouache previously diluted as required by the ""wash"" technique. For Perrault's tales the eleven finest engravers of the period were enlisted to engrave with burin the forty wood blocks: Pannemaker Pisan Pierdon Maurand Boetzel Brevière Hébert Deschamps Dumont Delduc and Fagnon. Gustave Doré's work in the context of illustrating the Contes is paramount; he does not reduce engraving to its ornamental function but transforms it into a true object of narration. These illustrations are Doré's most famous works and immediately received enthusiastic reviews notably that of Sainte-Beuve in Les Nouveaux lundis 23 December 1861: ""Un Perrault comme il n'y en eut jamais jusqu'ici et comme il ne s'en verra plus. . Je ne puis que dire que ces dessins me semblent fort beaux d'un tour riche et opulent qu'ils ont un caractère grandiose qui renouvelle l'aspect de ces humbles contes et leur rend de leur premier merveilleux antérieur à Perrault même."" ""A Perrault such as there never was until now and such as there will never be again. . I can only say that these drawings seem very beautiful to me of a rich and opulent turn that they have a grandiose character that renews the aspect of these humble tales and restores to them their original wonder that predates Perrault himself.""

""The idea of illustrating these texts had been suggested by the Bibliophile Jacob Paul Lacroix who had been commissioned by Balzac's widow for the philological revision of the text. The illustrations fall within a caricatural and 'droll' vein; they reveal Gustave Doré's immense talent his attraction to landscape and his ease in portraying grotesque characters as well as in capturing burlesque scenes. 'This illustration is like no other in its powerful originality: it is Gaulish Rabelaisian and sparkling with wit. Doré certainly lavished the best of his talent on the Contes drolatiques. They had no success however and the entire edition was marked down. Today it is one of Doré's most sought-after works"" Leblanc. Garnier frères hardcover

He nevertheless asks him not to propose him for the rank of officer: ""Mais je viens réclamer de toi les mêmes amitiés te priant te suppliant même de t'arrêter complétement et absolument ce qui je n'en doute pas te coûtera plus encore qu'autre chose. J'ai beaucoup pensé à tout ce que tu m'as dit hier et je trouve que je me suis trompé tout à fait en te laissant t'engager si obligeamment dans ces démarches."" ""But I come to claim from you the same friendships asking you even begging you to stop completely and absolutely which I do not doubt will cost you more than anything else. I have thought much about everything you told me yesterday and I find that I was quite wrong to let you engage so obligingly in these steps.""
