‎Jésus! comment que tu oses manger des champignons! Tes chamignons ma biche c'est comme les homes: rien ne ressemble aux bons comme les mauvais"from Les Lorettes: courtesans of Paris. First edition of the lithograph.‎

‎Paris: Chez Bauger Chez Aubert 1841. Lithograph sur blanc. 33.3 x 23.5 cm. Plate no. XI from the series: "Les Lorettes." Armelhault and Bocher no. 773. Les Lorettes described by scholars:MLA citation: Murphy Libby and Greggor Mattson. A la Recherche des Femmes Perdues. Oberlin College 2016.Prostitution was a common social phenomenon that was practiced by women regardless of class but the type of prostitute varied depending on the status of the men involved. The social standing of prostitutes often shifted throughout their lifetimes but their roles generally remained within four basic levels of prostitution. This exhibit focuses on these four important types of prostitutes imagined and mythologized in various media of the time. The lorette the aspiring courtesan was the prostitute of mystery elusive and secretive often evading the government’s health regulations. The grisette was a prostitute from a working-class background often found inhabiting the apartments of young Parisian students. The fille publique or streetwalker was from the lowest class of prostitute and often attracted the poorest customers. Walking the street alone or in groups la fille publique was most vulnerable to police repression. And finally women in “maisons closes†or brothels catered to men of different social classes. The most luxurious brothels attracted middle class men with their continuous business. These women though varying in status participated in a form of sexual commerce that was common in French society in the 19th century. Paris: Chez Bauger, Chez Aubert, 1841 unknown‎

The braided wig loose shirt black velvet trousers fastened with brass buttons and tied with a fringed sash are derived from the working costume of the longshoreman or stevedore who unloaded the barges that traveled up the Seine to Paris. As Nancy Olsen points out in Gavarni: The Carnival Lithographs the majority of Gavarni’s carnival lithographs reflect his interest in the small groups that drift away from the crowd as a consequence of the romantic liaisons that preoccupied many of the participants at a masked ball. Intrigue was the name of the gave and the information being conveyed in this scene comes in all probability from an agent provocateur†Beatrice Farwell The Charged Image: French Lithographic Caricature 1816-1848 p. 88.<br /> <br /> “This is the most considerable of the several series of lithographs devoted by Gavarni to the balls which were a passion with him. He was an organizer and patron of the more elegant and he found the popular balls at the Opera and elsewhere an attractive subject for his designs. Théophile Gautier who believed that at this period Parisian balls had virtually ‘effaced the former carnival of Venice’ called Gavarni ‘their depicter and historian.’ As dancers throw themselves into their round of pleasure ‘a man stands with his back against a pillar; he watches he listens he observes.’ And the following day on stone ‘he lends his own wit to all the masks perhaps stupid in themselves; he sums up in a profound word the chit-chat of the foyer; he translates into a pleasant legend the hoarse excitement of the hall.’ Quoted by Lemoisne I 120†Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book.<br /> <br /> Such elements have made Gavarni's carnival lithographs among his finest most famous and desired works of art.<br /> <br /> There was another similar title by Gavarni Le Carnaval. Paris: Chez Aubert 1838-39 which had twenty-seven completely different plates <br /> <br /> This series of plates by Gavarni is quite rare; only three copies are listed in OCLC and it has not sold at auction in the last forty-two years. <br /> <br /> In the nineteenth century the Paris carnival was the most extravagant among the European carnivals. It would last for several days and consist of masked balls both private and public street processions and feasting during which vibrant street scenes costumes and decorated floats would be on display.<br /> <br /> Armelhault & Bocher Les Debardeurs 486-542 307-309 plates 21 23 and 24 259-263 plates 44 49 32 54 and 61 and 1223 plate 58; Le Carnaval 375-397; Le Carnaval a Paris 251-257 398-422 1232 1709-1711.<br /> Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book 154.

Smooth spine lettered horizontally in gilt. The superb hand-colored lithographs bright and colorful. <br /> <br /> “Gavarni’s conception of the enfant terrible has passed into a proverb. For all their apparent ingenuousness his appealing children are preternaturally sharp. They see and hear everything in their little world and they are infallible in announcing their discoveries where they will cause the most embarrassment. So a little boy asks a visitor: ‘Sir who is it that invented gunpowder…since Papa says it isn’t you’ no. 10; or a little girl informs a suitor: ‘Aunt Amelia says that you are very nice; but it’s a pity that you are too stupid’ no. 32†Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book.<br /> <br /> "The forty-nine prints in Gavarni’s series Les enfants terribles are among his most popular and well-known works legendary for their witty and memorable captions. Gavarni’s enfants terribles are social landmines “holy terrors†who wittingly or unwittingly reveal the pettiness and duplicity of their parents. An illustrator of children’s books Gavarni was the father of two children of his own to whom he was very attached. Gavarni loved the spontaneous poses and gestures of children and admired them for their disarming honesty. The term enfants terribles originally reserved for terrifyingly candid children who embarrass their parents came to be used to describe unconventional or unorthodox artists and writers—like Baudelaire and Flaubert—whose works reveal harsh truths about society that are embarrassing to guardians of the status quo." Allen Memorial Art Museum.<br /> <br /> “As the historical antecedent to Dennis the Menace and Calvin and Hobbes Les Enfans terribles was far more incisive and revealing in its social commentary. In its images Gavarni regularly uses the quasi-innocent questions or remarks of children to put the world of the adults around them in disarray. The subject is more often than not the marital or extra-marital situations of the grown-ups†Beatrice Farwell The Charged Image p. 91.<br /> <br /> According to OCLC there is just one example in libraries & institutions worldwide: The Gordon Ray copy at The Morgan Library & Museum NY USA - also apparently without the pictorial hand colored title-page.<br /> <br /> Paul Gavarni 1804-1866. "A French artist best known for his lithographs Paul Gavarni née Chevalier Suplice Guillaume was born in Paris on January 13 1804. Throughout his lifetime Gavarni produced over 4000 satirical prints for journals and fashion magazines. Both delicately witty and elegantly revealing of human behavior and character Gavarni's genre scenes made him one of the most important and popular nineteenth-century artists. He is often critically paired with Honoré Daumier with whom he and other young printmakers like Jean-Jacques Grandville and Joseph Traviés raised the status and importance of social lithography and printmaking as an art form…<br /> <br /> The Plates:<br /> <br /> 1.

‎Les Lorettes‎

‎Paris: Chez Aubert 1844. Love is their business and they drive hard bargains<br /> They are as luxurious and idle as they are beautiful<br /> Their lives are a tissue of deception and hypocrisy"<br /> <br /> GAVARNI Paul. Les Lorettes. Paris: Bauger et Pannier ca. 1844-45.<br /> <br /> One of the rarest of all the Gavarni albums. Originally published from June 1841-December 1843 by Aubert et Cie. with just twenty lithographs. <br /> <br /> This the first complete suite of 79 lithographs was published slightly later ca. 1844-1845.<br /> <br /> First Complete Edition. Folio 13 1/8 x 9 7/8 inches; 334 x 251 mm. Seventy-nine hand colored lithographs all heightened with gum arabic. Plate 79 mis-bound before plate 77. Eight-page Aubert et Cie. catalog bound in at end. A few plates lightly toned in blank margins some very occasional light foxing.<br /> <br /> Publisher's violet ribbed cloth front cover lettered in gilt spine faded. Loosely inserted is a hand written note signed by Gavarni.<br /> <br /> A remarkable example of this extremely rare Gavarni Album.<br /> <br /> These 79 plates represent the complete thematic cycle Gavarni created around the "lorette"—the semi-independent fashionable demimondaine of July Monarchy Paris.<br /> <br /> OCLC locates just one example in libraries & institutions worldwide: Clark Art Institute MA US.<br /> There have been just four complete copies at auction since 1901.<br /> <br /> A second series titled Les Lorettes Vieillies appeared in the 1860's. This second series contained thirty hand colored lithographs. OCLC locates just two copies of this rare work - they do not state that the plates are colored: University of Miami FL US & Northwestern University Library IL US.<br /> <br /> "Les Lorettes… This is the most masterly of Gavarni's earlier series. Ladies of the evening of a certain standing had come to be called lorettes because they often lived in the handsome new buildings of the Rue Notre Dame de Lorette. No subject could have been better suited to Gavarni's talents. Indeed Paul de Saint Victor observed preface to D'Après nature II 2 that "the lorette is for him what the actress of the Italian Comedy was for Watteau." Gavarni shows them without malice and without indulgence exactly as they were. The grisette of Les étudiants de Paris was an ingratiating figure; not so the lorette. Love is their business and they drive hard bargains. They are as luxurious and idle as they are beautiful. Their lives are a tissue of deception and hypocrisy. Among themselves their conversation is cynical to the point of brutality. Their men usually twice their age also cut a poor figure. At best these gentlemen command a wry irony which derives from their awareness of being dupes. Gavarni presents these brittle and glittering creatures with great deftness. The packed and subtle dialogue of the legends would not be amiss in a novel by Stendhal. It is difficult to select from his remarkable compositions but one cannot overlook… no. 27 in which a lorette in her bath indulges in a rare moment of speculative conversation with a friend." Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book pp. 223-224.<br /> Note. Gordon Ray's copy had 73 of the 79 hand colored lithographs - missing nos. 19-24.<br /> <br /> "Lorette was a colloquialism for a new type of prostitute who was kept in relative luxury in the apartment buildings that had been constructed in the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette church. Gavarni's sharp-eyed observations of Parisian society in works like these demonstrate his value as a documentarian of his times." Bobins V p. 64 #1541.<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 with love intrigues and balls on the one hand and pawnbrokers’ shops and debtors’ prisons on the other…In 1846 Gavarni returned to Le charivari to which he had hardly contributed since 1843.
