Smooth spine decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt top edge gilt marbled endpapers. Some light foxing a few plates slightly browned. Tiny portion of lower corner of the plate "Août" torn away.

No records in OCLC and KVK OCLC notes one of the lithographs Avril at Clark Art Institute. <br/><br/>"In 1837 Gavarni began his connection with Le charivari which did not conclude until 1848. In all he drew 1054 lithographs for his journal.Most of these appeared in series some twenty-five of which extend to ten or more plates and were afterwards published by Aubert in albums. Perhaps the best of these collections are Fourberies de femmes en matière de sentiment Les étudiants de Paris Les débardeurs and Les lorettes; but some of the rest are of hardly inferior interest. Still further series contributed to periodicals other than Le charivari were also issued as albums. Baudelaire had this part of Gavarni's work particularly in mind when he wrote.that ‘the true glory and the true mission of Gavarni and Daumier has been to complete Balzac.' Certainly the pictures of Parisian society provided by the two artists perfectly complement each other. Daumier's preoccupation was the working middle class with faces and figures heavily marked by life. Gavarni remained for the most part outside the humdrum bourgeois round. He preferred to show ‘youth at the prow and pleasure at the helm.' His pretty girls and sleek young men are bent on enjoyment. They live lives of graceful dissipation" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book p. 217. <br/><br/>Armelhault & Bocher 2331-2342.<br/><br/><br/>The Plates:<br/><br/>1. Janvier<br/>2.

Qualche piccolo difetto alla cerniera anteriore ed al margine alto del dorso con piccolissime mancanze di tela. Tagli dorati. Qualche lievissima macchiolina di foxing in poche pagine, come tipico di tutti gli esemplari, a causa della qualità della carta e per il resto esemplare in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Prima non comune edizione, ancor più rara a reperirsi completa della sua legatura editoriale, di questa importante opera di illustrazione, opera di uno dei più grandi illustratori francesi dell'ottocento. Le tavole impresse "sur velin", inquadrate entro cornici traforate, e acquarellate con colori delicati, recano le veline originali sul retro di ogni tavola in carte a diversi colori per fare da sfondo alle dentelles. Guillaume Sulpice Chevalier, pseudonimo di Paul Gavarni (Parigi, 1804 - 1866) fu un celeberrimo illustratore, disegnatore e pittore francese. Precoce talento per il disegno, l'autore si propose, fin da giovane, di sviluppare nuove tecniche e materiali incisori, sfruttando nuovi prodotti chimici non prima utilizzati. Già a 20 anni impressionò l'editore Blaisot che gli propose alcuni lavori. Utilizzando i soldi guadagnati si trasferì nei Pirenei dove aveva idea di recarsi per realizzare una serie di ritratti di costumi popolari che uscì poi nel 1828, già firmati con il suo nome d'arte di Gavarni, ispirato da una catena montuosa vista durante il suo soggiorno pirenaico. Nel 1830 iniziò a lavorare per la rivista "La mode" che gli diede grande successo in patria ma anche in Inghilterra, ricevendo anche l'apprezzamento di diversi personaggi importanti come ad esempio Balzac. In questo periodo sperimentò nuove tecniche litografiche. E' di questi anni una delle sue più drammatiche esperienze che segnò anche la sua opera futura. Sulla scorta del successo ottenuto puntò tutti i suoi guadagni nella creazione di una rivista tutta sua che uscita con il titolo di "Journal des Gens du Monde" nel 1835 e che fallendo quasi subito, portò Gavarni, ridotto sul lastrico, in galera per un anno. Questa esperienza la ritroviamo nel 1837 nella serie uscita sulla celebre rivista Charivari, intitolata Fourberies des femmes en matière de sentiments, nella quale denunciava il mondo degli affari. La serie ebbe di nuovo un enorme successo e portò Gavarni ad esser chiamato a presentare tavole su tutti i principali giornali dell'epoca e facendo dell'artista, uno dei più celebri personaggi della sua epoca. Avvicinandosi alla metà del secolo, il suo stile cambiò e si diresse verso temi di denuncia sociale. Nel 1847 si trasferì a Londra, secondo Gavarni, città più adatta a comprendere il suo desiderio di ritrarre i personaggi e la vita dei bassifondi malfamati chiudendosi sempre più in se stesso e nella sua arte. Tornato a Parigi si dedicò sempre di più alla critica sociale ma anche agli studi matematici e meccanici che da sempre lo avevano appassionato fino a diventare la sua attività principale a partire dal 1860, data che segna anche il suo abbandono del disegno. Morì nel 1866, universalmente riconosciuto come uno dei più grandi illustratori dell'ottocento.‎

‎GAVARNI pseudonym: CHEVALIER Sulpice Guillaume 1804 1866.‎

‎Autograph poem and letter signed "Gavarni" under the title "L'anglais" with stationery stamp of Bath England on upper right‎

‎Bath c. 1850. Very Good. 1 page 205 x 129mm; small cello tape repair on lower left later docketed Alfred Guidant and Gavarni lightly toned. Gavarni was a French illustrator and caricaturist whose work is widely known for its polished wit and cultured observation of life of his time. About 1831 Gavarni began publishing his ironic scenes of contemporary life and praise from writers such as Honore de Balzac gained him popularity. Gavarni worked for journals like La Mode L'Artiste La Silhouette his most known work appeared in Charivari and the weekly paper L'Illustration. He also illustrated the first collective edition of Balzac's works and Eugene Sue's Wandering Jew. He is known for his sketches of social contrasts between extremes of luxury and poverty. This tendency was strengthened by a visit to England in 1849. He returned from London deeply impressed with the scenes of misery and degradation which he had observed among the lower classes of that city. This unique autograph poem and combined letter with mention of delivering the letter by Alfred Guidant of London refers to the English land as friend to which he greets with a hearty "Bonjour l'anglais." The message clearly reflects Gavarni's newfound confidence and solidarity with human nature found opposite the English Channel. <br/><br/> unknown books‎
