This lithograph depicts the bleeding purging and medication of a man.

Louis-Philippe in 1833 bleeds a mail messenger postillon who has fallen off his horse thereby saving his life.

ref. 06082Paris: Aubert & Cie. 1848. A Superb Hand-Colored Anthology of French Romantic Caricature Twenty Magnificent Lithographs by Daumier Gavarni Bouchot Pruche & Platier from Aubert's Celebrated Étrennes Comiques BOUCHOT Frédéric. PRUCHE Clément. GAVARNI Paul. PLATIER Jules & DAUMIER Honoré. Étrennes Comiques par les Principaux Dessinateurs du Journal pour Rire du Charivari du Musée Philipon et de la maison Aubert. Paris: Aubert & Cie. ca. 1848. Folio 13 1/8 x 9 7/8 inches; 333 x 251 mm. Pictorial lithographic title-page and twenty magnificent hand-colored lithographs all heightened with gum arabic. The plates comprise works by Frédéric Bouchot 6 Clément Pruche 5 Paul Gavarni 4 Jules Platier 3 and Honoré Daumier 2. Title-page neatly strengthened at the inner margin without loss. One Daumier plate with a neatly repaired marginal tear just touching the image; one Pruche plate with repaired and strengthened outer blank margin. Early twentieth-century light brown cloth over boards front cover lettered in gilt. An exceptionally handsome publisher's anthology celebrating the golden age of French Romantic caricature. Issued as an étrennes - a luxurious New Year's gift volume - Aubert assembled a selection of hand-colored impressions by the principal artists associated with Le Charivari the Journal pour rire the Musée Philipon and the publishing house itself. Rather than presenting the work of a single artist the volume offers a carefully balanced survey of the finest comic lithography of the 1830s and 1840s bringing together the distinctive artistic personalities of Daumier Gavarni Bouchot Platier and Pruche within a single album. The album is distinguished not only by the importance of its contributors but also by the exceptional quality of its hand-coloring. Executed in delicate transparent washes and frequently heightened with gum arabic the coloring preserves the richness and subtlety of the original lithographic crayon while imparting remarkable brilliance to costume interiors architecture and landscape. The impressions are uniformly fresh and well preserved and are introduced by Aubert's splendid pictorial title-page - a spirited composition crowded with comic figures that serves as both an engaging frontispiece and a visual advertisement for the publishing house that dominated French satirical lithography during the July Monarchy. The variety of subjects is one of the volume's greatest attractions. Daumier contributes two penetrating social satires of characteristic psychological insight; Gavarni observes fashionable Parisian society with his unrivalled elegance and wit; Bouchot supplies a series of charming domestic comedies drawn from Soins Tyranniques and Trop Tôt; Platier contributes fashionable figures together with scenes from La Famille Bas-Bleu; while Pruche provides lively political caricatures humorous urban incidents and comic coaching scenes. Collectively the plates present an engaging panorama of Parisian life fashion domestic manners politics travel and social aspiration during the closing years of the July Monarchy. The present volume is of particular bibliographical interest. We have previously handled another copy bearing the identical engraved title-page but containing an entirely different selection of hand-colored lithographs by Daumier Vernier Traviès Gavarni Platier and Bouchot. This strongly suggests that Aubert assembled these luxurious Étrennes Comiques albums from changing stocks of hand-colored impressions rather than issuing them in a fixed format. Each surviving copy is therefore effectively unique preserving not only a delightful anthology of French Romantic caricature but also important evidence of Aubert's publishing and marketing practices during the great flowering of nineteenth-century French satirical lithography.

ref. 06169Paris: Imprimerie d'Aubert & Cie 1842. Parisian Emotions as Depicted by Honoré Daumier Fifty Superb Lithographs Depicting the Diverse Feelings of Typical Frenchmen DAUMIER Honoré. Album Comique par Daumier Emotions Parisiennes. Paris: Au Bureau du Journal Amusant & du Petit Journal pour Rire 1842. Folio 13 1/2 x 10 3/8 inches; 343 x 264 mm. Twenty-three of fifty-one superb lithograph plates all headed Emotions Parisiennes. Publisher's gray printed wrappers. A near fine example. "The central panel in Daumier's 'immense satirical fresco of the French bourgeoisie during the first half of the nineteenth century' Champfleury quoted by Beraldi V 108 is constituted by four major series: Les beaux jours de la vie Moeurs conjugales Le bons bourgeois eighty-two plates 1847-1849 and Tout ce qu'on voudra seventy plates 1847-1851. These display the private lives of the middle class generally as do such shorter albums as Croquis d'expressions fifty-three plates 1838-1839 and Emotions parisiens fifty-one plates 1839-1842" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book p. 230. "This series of 51 prints is by common consent one of Daumier's best groups of illustrations concerning the diverse feelings of typical Frenchmen." Ramus. Daumier. 120 Great Lithographs p. 125. There is some uncertainty as to the number of plates in this scarce work in which Ramus calls for fifty-one lithographs. The confusion comes from the first entry DR 635 in the Daumier Register. This plate was first issued in Le Charivari on October 24th 1839 and was not published in book form until 1843 when it appeared in Album Moeurs Conjugales. To further add to the confusion DR 692 is the same plate as DR 635. The plates in the present volume are numbered one through fifty - so it is fairly safe to assume that our copy with fifty plates the same number of plates as the Morgan Library/Gordon Ray copy is complete as DR-692 and DR-635 were not issued in this volume Les Émotions Parisiennes which was first published in the winter of 1842. According to OCLC there is only one copy listed in Libraries and Institutions worldwide The Morgan Library & Museum NY have the Gordon Ray copy with fifty plates although it appears that the plates are not colored and they have erroneously listed the date of publication as 1860. There are a handful of Libraries that in total have tenuncolored plates. These fifty lithographs first appeared in Le Charivari between July 14th 1839 and October 30th 1842. Exceptionally rare - In over fifty years other than the Christie's copy in 1995 I have only seen part of this series DJB. Daumier Registry numbers 684-691 693-759 The Plates: 1.

"This lithograph demonstrates the cultural difference - always extreme in France - between the country and the city particularly Paris. Massive migration from the country to Paris in this period resulted in social dislocations reflected in the art of Courbet as well as that of Daumier. Instead of the more common theme of the country girl who goes to town and becomes a prostitute Daumier depicts a young man whose soul has preferred to forget his peasant father under the influence of life as a dandy in Paris."

ref. 05703Paris: Chez Aubert 1833. One of the earliest sustained attempts in European graphic art to render political power as embodied psychology rather than symbolic caricature" Orléanist Politicians as Seen by Daumier DAUMIER Honoré. Célébrités de la Caricature. Paris: Chez Aubert 1833. Folio 4 3/4 x 10 1/2 inches; 374 x 267 mm. Two inserted portraits one inserted illustration by Jouas and seventeen of twenty-six superb lithograph plates from the series Célébrités de la Caricature by Honoré Daumier and five hand colored duplicate plates. All plates mounted on stubs. Bound ca. 1900 in three-quarter black morocco over marbled boards smooth spine decoratively stamped and lettered horizontally in gilt 'Portraits en Pied Parlementaires - 1833' marbled endpapers. Some foxing throughout. "Célébrités de la Caricature Celebrities from La Caricature is a series of 26 lithographs which appeared in La Caricature and Le Charivari between April 26 1832 and November 9 1833. The first eight prints of the series show the portraits of well known politicians of the time. Underneath taking up almost as much space as the portrait itself an imaginary coat of arms is showing the characteristics of the person. It is in most cases in color although the portrait is in black and white. The last 18 prints show full size portraits without the coat of arms. Philipon had first asked Traviès and later Daumier to draw caricatures of Orléanist politicians while he supplied the text as well as the ideas for their respective coats of arms. On April 26 1832 Philipon explained the project which was to be highly successful to the readers of the Charivari. The publication however had to be delayed since Daumier decided to first mould clay models of each politician before drawing the lithograph. These "Célébrités de la Caricature" appeared under DR 43 45 46 48 and 51 starting with Monsieur de Lameth. In March 1833 the Charivari took over from the Caricature and published another three personalities with their coat of arms under DR 144 150 and 173. After that the series continued with portraits and full figure designs however without the allusive arms. This third section contained 18 full size portraits published in the Caricature during 1833. While the former prints were of a vignette like shape Daumier now showed the entire figure of the person concentrating on their overall appearance including the clothing. The sometimes "theatrical" costumes further enhanced the message the artist wanted to convey of the person's human qualities." Daumier Register. We have been unable to find any copies of Célébrités de la Caricature at auction over the past 100 years. OCLC & KVK locate no copies in libraries and institutions worldwide. While individual plates from Célébrités de la Caricature are well represented in museum collections BNF British Museum The Met assembled albums - particularly heterogeneous mixed-state compilations such as this - are virtually unknown. The ephemeral nature of satirical journals combined with censorship pressures and the lack of an official "edition" in book form makes survival in this state exceptional. The Plates: A. Inserted vignette portrait of the Young Daumier anonymous early 1830s. B. Inserted engraved portrait of Honoré Daumier in advanced age. Salon de 1881 engraving after the portrait by Auguste Boulard C. Inserted illustration A fine composition by Charles Jouas depicting a gathering of Daumier's most recognizable character types arranged around a sculptural pedestal. 1. Mr. Arlépaire.

Mr. Arlépaire - Jean-Marie Harlé père A pun on "harlequin" and "pair" mocking his theatrical opportunism and habit of shifting loyalties to remain politically relevant. 2. Mr. Baill. - Claude Baillot Named to suggest banal rigidity "bailler" / dullness Daumier presents him as the embodiment of complacent parliamentary inertia. 3. Mr. Baill. color - Claude Baillot The added color underscores his self-importance while changing nothing of his essential mediocrity. 4. Mr. Barthe - Félix Barthe Depicted as overstuffed and ponderous reflecting his reputation as a verbose legal mind weighed down by proceduralism. 5. Mr. Benjamin Dudessert - Benjamin Delessert A biting phonetic distortion suggesting softness and indulgence aimed at the banker-philanthropist's comfortable liberalism. 6. Mr. Cunin Grid. - Laurent Cunin-Gridaine The fractured name mirrors his contorted political positions caught between protectionist industry and Orléanist moderation. 7. Mr. Cunin Grid. color - Laurent Cunin-Gridaine Color heightens the comic tension between his ministerial authority and his awkward almost ungainly physical stance. 8. Mr. Étien. - Charles-Guillaume Étienne Reduced to a clipped name to mock his pretensions as a moralist playwright turned cautious regime supporter. 9. Mr. Étien. color - Charles-Guillaume Étienne The gentle coloring reinforces the irony of his self-image as a man of letters compromised by political conformity. 10. Mr. Fulchir. - Jean-Claude Fulchiron The name hints at "fulgurant" without the substance skewering his rhetorical flourish unsupported by action. 11. Mr. Guiz. - François Guizot Barely disguised the truncation signals notoriety rather than concealment: Guizot was already a caricature of doctrinaire power. 12. Mr. Keratr - Auguste-Hilarion comte de Kératry The harsh consonants echo his aristocratic stiffness and aloof detachment from popular concerns. 13. Mr. Joliv. - Adolphe Jollivet Ironically named to suggest cheerfulness while shown hunched and insinuating-satire aimed at political obsequiousness. 14. Mr. Odieux - Antoine Odier A direct moral judgment: "odious" to the opposition for his financial conservatism and cold technocratic demeanor. 15. Mr. Pot de Naz - Baron de Podenas A coarse pun implying empty bluster and nasal self-importance aimed at a minor figure inflated beyond his merits. 16. Mr. Prune - Clément Prunelle A visual joke on "prunelle" pupil of the eye portraying him as watchful tight-lipped and fundamentally small-minded. 17. Mr. De Rign - Comte de Rigny The clipped sobriquet suggests aristocratic rigidity reinforcing his image as a dignified but outdated naval minister. 18. Mr. Royer-Col. - Pierre-Paul Royer-Collard Rendered monumental and heavy the name truncation underscores his philosophical gravitas turned into intellectual immobility. 19. Mr. Royer-Col. color - Pierre-Paul Royer-Collard Color emphasizes bulk and presence reinforcing Daumier's critique of moral authority ossified into mass. 20. Mr. Sébast. - Horace-François comte Sebastiani Shown preening and theatrical the nickname highlights his reputation as a military showman turned political courtier. 21. Mr. Sébast. color - Horace-François comte Sebastiani The coloring sharpens the contrast between his flamboyant posture and the hollowness of his parliamentary stance. 22. Mr. Vieux-Niais - Jean-Pons-Guillaume Viennet One of Daumier's most savage labels-"old fool"-targeting Viennet's reactionary views and cultural conservatism.

Publisher's yellow glazed pictorial lithographed boards cover design by Belin. Minor wear to extremities. Otherwise a fine copy. "The house of Aubert was ingenious in marketing its products. Its lithographs.were published one by one in periodicals like Le charivari and together in suites by the same artist without letterpress. Still a third form of publication was in albums made up of lithographs by several artists with accompanying texts. These collections most commonly took the form of volumes with the generic title Paris comique which consisted of twenty colored lithographs accompanied by quite unrelated texts. Aubert remarked that the resulting hodgepodge had 'a plan that is easy to follow for it consists in not having any' and in fact this was indeed a frugal procedure for reusing old texts and already published plates. The interest of the various volumes of Paris comique resides entirely in the lithographs they happen to contain. It can be considerable however since Daumier and Gavarni are the predominant artists" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book 164. The plates: 1. Tout Ce Qu'on Voudra No.9. Un Pierrot déplumé.

ref. 06169Paris: Imprimerie d'Aubert & Cie 1842. Parisian Emotions as Depicted by Honoré Daumier Fifty Superb Lithographs Depicting the Diverse Feelings of Typical Frenchmen DAUMIER Honoré. Album Comique par Daumier Emotions Parisiennes. Paris: Au Bureau du Journal Amusant & du Petit Journal pour Rire 1842. Folio 13 1/2 x 10 3/8 inches; 343 x 264 mm. Twenty-three of fifty-one superb lithograph plates all headed Emotions Parisiennes. Publisher's gray printed wrappers. A near fine example. "The central panel in Daumier's 'immense satirical fresco of the French bourgeoisie during the first half of the nineteenth century' Champfleury quoted by Beraldi V 108 is constituted by four major series: Les beaux jours de la vie Moeurs conjugales Le bons bourgeois eighty-two plates 1847-1849 and Tout ce qu'on voudra seventy plates 1847-1851. These display the private lives of the middle class generally as do such shorter albums as Croquis d'expressions fifty-three plates 1838-1839 and Emotions parisiens fifty-one plates 1839-1842" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book p. 230. "This series of 51 prints is by common consent one of Daumier's best groups of illustrations concerning the diverse feelings of typical Frenchmen." Ramus. Daumier. 120 Great Lithographs p. 125. There is some uncertainty as to the number of plates in this scarce work in which Ramus calls for fifty-one lithographs. The confusion comes from the first entry DR 635 in the Daumier Register. This plate was first issued in Le Charivari on October 24th 1839 and was not published in book form until 1843 when it appeared in Album Moeurs Conjugales. To further add to the confusion DR 692 is the same plate as DR 635. The plates in the present volume are numbered one through fifty - so it is fairly safe to assume that our copy with fifty plates the same number of plates as the Morgan Library/Gordon Ray copy is complete as DR-692 and DR-635 were not issued in this volume Les Émotions Parisiennes which was first published in the winter of 1842. According to OCLC there is only one copy listed in Libraries and Institutions worldwide The Morgan Library & Museum NY have the Gordon Ray copy with fifty plates although it appears that the plates are not colored and they have erroneously listed the date of publication as 1860. There are a handful of Libraries that in total have tenuncolored plates. These fifty lithographs first appeared in Le Charivari between July 14th 1839 and October 30th 1842. Exceptionally rare - In over fifty years other than the Christie's copy in 1995 I have only seen part of this series DJB. Daumier Registry numbers 684-691 693-759 The Plates: 1. Sont-il fade! . . . .regarde donc comme ils s'en sauvent! . . . . ce que c'est de ne pas vivre dans une chose!!! . . . .

DR 712 - Oh here you are my poor dear. darn it how handsome you are! Come and give your father a kiss. - The son who has educated his senses in Paris replies: I Don't know you! "This lithograph demonstrates the cultural difference - always extreme in France - between the country and the city particularly Paris. Massive migration from the country to Paris in this period resulted in social dislocations reflected in the art of Courbet as well as that of Daumier. Instead of the more common theme of the country girl who goes to town and becomes a prostitute Daumier depicts a young man whose soul has preferred to forget his peasant father under the influence of life as a dandy in Paris."

ref. 05703Paris: Chez Aubert 1833. One of the earliest sustained attempts in European graphic art to render political power as embodied psychology rather than symbolic caricature" Orléanist Politicians as Seen by Daumier DAUMIER Honoré. Célébrités de la Caricature. Paris: Chez Aubert 1833. Folio 4 3/4 x 10 1/2 inches; 374 x 267 mm. Two inserted portraits one inserted illustration by Jouas and seventeen of twenty-six superb lithograph plates from the series Célébrités de la Caricature by Honoré Daumier and five hand colored duplicate plates. All plates mounted on stubs. Bound ca. 1900 in three-quarter black morocco over marbled boards smooth spine decoratively stamped and lettered horizontally in gilt 'Portraits en Pied Parlementaires - 1833' marbled endpapers. Some foxing throughout. "Célébrités de la Caricature Celebrities from La Caricature is a series of 26 lithographs which appeared in La Caricature and Le Charivari between April 26 1832 and November 9 1833. The first eight prints of the series show the portraits of well known politicians of the time. Underneath taking up almost as much space as the portrait itself an imaginary coat of arms is showing the characteristics of the person. It is in most cases in color although the portrait is in black and white. The last 18 prints show full size portraits without the coat of arms. Philipon had first asked Traviès and later Daumier to draw caricatures of Orléanist politicians while he supplied the text as well as the ideas for their respective coats of arms. On April 26 1832 Philipon explained the project which was to be highly successful to the readers of the Charivari. The publication however had to be delayed since Daumier decided to first mould clay models of each politician before drawing the lithograph. These "Célébrités de la Caricature" appeared under DR 43 45 46 48 and 51 starting with Monsieur de Lameth. In March 1833 the Charivari took over from the Caricature and published another three personalities with their coat of arms under DR 144 150 and 173. After that the series continued with portraits and full figure designs however without the allusive arms. This third section contained 18 full size portraits published in the Caricature during 1833. While the former prints were of a vignette like shape Daumier now showed the entire figure of the person concentrating on their overall appearance including the clothing. The sometimes "theatrical" costumes further enhanced the message the artist wanted to convey of the person's human qualities." Daumier Register. We have been unable to find any copies of Célébrités de la Caricature at auction over the past 100 years. OCLC & KVK locate no copies in libraries and institutions worldwide. While individual plates from Célébrités de la Caricature are well represented in museum collections BNF British Museum The Met assembled albums - particularly heterogeneous mixed-state compilations such as this - are virtually unknown. The ephemeral nature of satirical journals combined with censorship pressures and the lack of an official "edition" in book form makes survival in this state exceptional. The Plates: A. Inserted vignette portrait of the Young Daumier anonymous early 1830s. B. Inserted engraved portrait of Honoré Daumier in advanced age. Salon de 1881 engraving after the portrait by Auguste Boulard C.

Mr. Arlépaire - Jean-Marie Harlé père A pun on "harlequin" and "pair" mocking his theatrical opportunism and habit of shifting loyalties to remain politically relevant. 2. Mr. Baill. - Claude Baillot Named to suggest banal rigidity "bailler" / dullness Daumier presents him as the embodiment of complacent parliamentary inertia. 3. Mr. Baill. color - Claude Baillot The added color underscores his self-importance while changing nothing of his essential mediocrity. 4. Mr. Barthe - Félix Barthe Depicted as overstuffed and ponderous reflecting his reputation as a verbose legal mind weighed down by proceduralism. 5. Mr. Benjamin Dudessert - Benjamin Delessert A biting phonetic distortion suggesting softness and indulgence aimed at the banker-philanthropist's comfortable liberalism. 6. Mr. Cunin Grid. - Laurent Cunin-Gridaine The fractured name mirrors his contorted political positions caught between protectionist industry and Orléanist moderation. 7. Mr. Cunin Grid. color - Laurent Cunin-Gridaine Color heightens the comic tension between his ministerial authority and his awkward almost ungainly physical stance. 8. Mr. Étien. - Charles-Guillaume Étienne Reduced to a clipped name to mock his pretensions as a moralist playwright turned cautious regime supporter. 9. Mr. Étien. color - Charles-Guillaume Étienne The gentle coloring reinforces the irony of his self-image as a man of letters compromised by political conformity. 10. Mr. Fulchir. - Jean-Claude Fulchiron The name hints at "fulgurant" without the substance skewering his rhetorical flourish unsupported by action. 11. Mr. Guiz. - François Guizot Barely disguised the truncation signals notoriety rather than concealment: Guizot was already a caricature of doctrinaire power. 12. Mr. Keratr - Auguste-Hilarion comte de Kératry The harsh consonants echo his aristocratic stiffness and aloof detachment from popular concerns. 13. Mr. Joliv. - Adolphe Jollivet Ironically named to suggest cheerfulness while shown hunched and insinuating-satire aimed at political obsequiousness. 14. Mr. Odieux - Antoine Odier A direct moral judgment: "odious" to the opposition for his financial conservatism and cold technocratic demeanor. 15. Mr. Pot de Naz - Baron de Podenas A coarse pun implying empty bluster and nasal self-importance aimed at a minor figure inflated beyond his merits. 16. Mr. Prune - Clément Prunelle A visual joke on "prunelle" pupil of the eye portraying him as watchful tight-lipped and fundamentally small-minded. 17. Mr. De Rign - Comte de Rigny The clipped sobriquet suggests aristocratic rigidity reinforcing his image as a dignified but outdated naval minister. 18. Mr. Royer-Col. - Pierre-Paul Royer-Collard Rendered monumental and heavy the name truncation underscores his philosophical gravitas turned into intellectual immobility. 19. Mr. Royer-Col. color - Pierre-Paul Royer-Collard Color emphasizes bulk and presence reinforcing Daumier's critique of moral authority ossified into mass. 20. Mr. Sébast. - Horace-François comte Sebastiani Shown preening and theatrical the nickname highlights his reputation as a military showman turned political courtier. 21. Mr. Sébast. color - Horace-François comte Sebastiani The coloring sharpens the contrast between his flamboyant posture and the hollowness of his parliamentary stance. 22. Mr. Vieux-Niais - Jean-Pons-Guillaume Viennet One of Daumier's most savage labels-"old fool"-targeting Viennet's reactionary views and cultural conservatism.

Its lithographs.were published one by one in periodicals like Le charivari and together in suites by the same artist without letterpress. Still a third form of publication was in albums made up of lithographs by several artists with accompanying texts. These collections most commonly took the form of volumes with the generic title Paris comique which consisted of twenty colored lithographs accompanied by quite unrelated texts. Aubert remarked that the resulting hodgepodge had 'a plan that is easy to follow for it consists in not having any' and in fact this was indeed a frugal procedure for reusing old texts and already published plates. The interest of the various volumes of Paris comique resides entirely in the lithographs they happen to contain.

Complete and very rare set of 30 original lithographs in very nice proofs in black on white in a very scarce issue of the 2nd or 3rd state out of 3 or 4 before correction with Aubert's address later erased. Delteil 760 to 790. The bathers on the banks of the Seine offered Daumier multiple subjects to evoke comical situations. The series of thirty plates ofLes Baigneurs published between June 1839 and September 1842 in Le Charivari was much appreciated by Delacroix for the quality of the anatomical studies it contains and which will have a female counterpart in 1847 with Les Baigneuses. Honoré Daumier 1808-1879 began his career as a political cartoonist for the newspapers "La Caricature" and "Le Charivari" under the sign of opposition to Louis-Philippe led by Charles Philipon the director of these publications. But the laws of September 1835 put a brake on the freedom of the press and forced Daumier to reorient himself towards the caricature of manners. Parisian society is then pinned in all its strata under the eyes of readers of "Charivari". Formidable caricaturist of the ridicules of the French society of the 19th century qualified of "Michelangelo of the caricature" he developed his lithographic career for the press from the July Monarchy until the fall of the Second Empire. " Delacroix not only appreciated but even studied the nude of the Baigneurs of Daumier ". Béraldi. "The source of the river Seine is found in Burgundy runs through Paris and ends in the Channel. The public baths in the Seine offered a highly welcomed refreshment in summer. According to information by Provost one of the ""Bathing Boats" called ""Petit Ecole de Natation"" was moored very close to Daumier's house at the Quai d'Anjou on the river Seine. In turning over this album all the different schools of swimming from the working-man's bath at 10 Centimes up to the noble baths where one walks on rugs. Daumier even allows us to peak a stolen glance at the ladies aquatic section. We also enjoy a view of the Seine and those strong gentlemen racing the train in the water swimming against the current. We see all these aspects from their amusing angle because Daumier's drawings are filled with grotesque physiognomies amusing scenes and all those little mishaps which strike the unfortunate swimmer. from a Charivari advertisement August 2 1843 The French painter Delacroix 1798-1863 was so impressed by Daumiers Bathers that he pinned a lithograph from this series to the wall of his studio. He advised his students to look at Daumiers prints exhibited in the windows of Auberts gallery in order to appreciate this masters drawing talent.""

Suite complète et très rare de 30 lithographies originales en très belles épreuves en noir sur blanc en très rare épreuve du 2e ou 3e état sur 3 ou 4 avant la correction avec l'adresse d'Aubert effacée par la suite. Delteil 760 à 790. Les baigneurs des bords de la Seine ont offert à Daumier de multiples sujets propices à évoquer des situations cocasses. La série de trente planches des Baigneurs publiée entre juin 1839 et septembre 1842 dans Le Charivari était très appréciée de Delacroix pour la qualité des études anatomiques qu'elle contient et qui aura un pendant féminin en 1847 avec Les Baigneuses. " Daumier recherche avant tout l'expression juste qui lui est fournie par une rare faculté d'observation ce qui fit dire à Champfleury : "Dans le moindre croquis de Daumier on sent la griffe du lion". Les Daumier font aujourd'hui des prix fous. " Carteret Trésor du bibliophile III p.188. Honoré Daumier 1808-1879 débute sa carrière comme caricaturiste politique pour les journaux " La Caricature " et " Le Charivari " sous le signe d'une opposition à Louis-Philippe conduite par Charles Philipon le directeur de ces publications. Mais les lois de septembre 1835 mettent un frein à la liberté de la presse et obligent Daumier à se réorienter vers la caricature de mœurs. La société parisienne est alors épinglée dans toutes ses strates sous les yeux des lecteurs du " Charivari ". Formidable caricaturiste des ridicules de la société française du XIXe siècle qualifié de " Michel-Ange de la caricature " il développa sa carrière lithographique pour la presse de la Monarchie de Juillet jusqu'à la chute du Second Empire. " Delacroix non seulement appréciait mais même étudiait le nu des Baigneurs de Daumier ". Béraldi. " Si plus tard les héritiers de Delacroix trouvèrent dans un de ses nombreux portefeuilles des croquis d'après 'les Baigneurs' de Daumier cela n'étonnera pas les admirateurs des deux maîtres. Les yeux gourmands de Delacroix dans leur soif d'études et d'observations ne pouvaient jamais assez se rassasier de lignes passionnées d'emportements michelangesques et de mouvements réels. L'accentuation robuste des œuvres de Daumier enthousiasmait cette nature distinguée comme un cavalier qui monté sur un élégant cheval arabe s'arrête tout à coup pour admirer un cheval de brasseur. " Revue de Paris "The source of the river Seine is found in Burgundy runs through Paris and ends in the Channel. The public baths in the Seine offered a highly welcomed refreshment in summer.

Paris: published in Le Charivari 1847-1852. Folio 14 3/8 × 10 1/8 inches; 365 × 257 mm - actual plate size. Album containing 73 of 94 original lithographs each retaining the original Le Charivari letterpress text on the verso compiled from newspaper issues. Handsomely bound ca. 1900 by Édouard Pagnant in three-quarter red morocco over marbled boards covers ruled in gilt smooth spine decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt marbled endpapers. With his binder's ticket on the front pastedown: "Pagnant / Relieur de luxe / 30 rue Jacob / Paris 6e." All plates tipped onto uniform sheets 15 × 11 inches; 381 × 280 mm and mounted on stubs. Some light to moderate foxing and or browning to several plates. A substantial surviving run from Daumier's celebrated social-satirical series issued intermittently in Le Charivari over a five-year period. The retention of the printed versos confirms the plates in their authentic periodical state rather than later album or suite impressions. The twenty-one missing plates are nos. 3 5 6 10 14 16 17 19 37 38 51 52 58 59 62 72 73 74 75 93 and 94. Very rare: we are unable to locate any other surviving run of Tout ce qu'on voudra of comparable extent in the original Le Charivari state. Honoré Daumier's Tout ce qu'on voudra is one of his most open-ended and deliberately unprogrammatic series. The title translates loosely as "Anything You Like" "Whatever One Pleases" or "All That One Might Want." In other words: no single subject no fixed agenda no promise of coherence. The phrase would have been instantly understood by contemporary readers as a wry disclaimer - a signal that what follows is governed by observation rather than doctrine. Issued intermittently in Le Charivari between 1847 and 1852 Tout ce qu'on voudra allowed Daumier maximum freedom. Unlike his explicitly political series it ranges widely across Parisian life social types everyday humiliations marital tensions professional absurdities street scenes and private miseries often without captions that moralize or explain. The humor is quieter more psychological and often darker: comedy arising not from topical satire but from the persistent awkwardness of being human. The title itself is central to the series' meaning. Tout ce qu'on voudra suggests both abundance and indifference: here is everything - and therefore nothing in particular. It mirrors Daumier's artistic position in these years turning away from overt polemic toward a broader more enduring social vision. What binds the plates together is not subject but attitude - a skeptical compassionate and sharply observant eye trained on modern life. Seen as a whole the series reads less like a "set" than like a visual notebook accumulating truths through repetition and variation. It is precisely this looseness - announced by the title - that makes Tout ce qu'on voudra one of Daumier's most modern achievements: a portrait of society not as ideology but as lived experience offered without hierarchy and without apology. Edouard Pagnant set up on his own in 1876 rue Saint-Dominique and in 1881 he incorporated/added the house of Marmin. He later moved his workshop to 30 rue Jacob Paris 6e and he was still there until his death on 28 January 1916.

Still a third form of publication was in albums made up of lithographs by several artists with accompanying texts. These collections most commonly took the form of volumes with the generic title Paris Comique which consisted of twenty colored lithographs accompanied by quite unrelated texts. Aubert remarked that the resulting hodgepodge had 'a plan that is easy to follow for it consists in not having any' and in fact this was indeed a frugal procedure for reusing old texts and already published plates. The interest of the various volumes of Paris comique resides entirely in the lithographs they happen to contain. It can be considerable however since Daumier and Gavarni are the predominant artists" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book 164. The Plates: 1. DAUMIER. Chasse et Pêche no. 8.
