réf. 172366DAUMIER Honore. Les Bohemiens de Paris. With 28 lithographs by Daumier. Folio. 345 x260 mm.Matted in a cloth folding case. Paris: Au Bureau de Journal Amusant & du Petit Journal pour Rire 1840-1842. Complete set of Daumier's "Les Bohémiens de Paris" series. All the prints in the present set are "sur blanc" i.e. printed individually on superior white wove paper without the text of the Charivari journal on the verso. Because of the finer paper and printing methods 'sur blanc' impressions are much more prized than those which appeared within the journal itself. Les Bohémiens de Paris figures prominently in Rumas' Daumier: 120 Great Lithographs which especially reproduces and describes Plate 9 "A Professional Sponger about to crash a fashionable Wedding Party" Plate 15 "A Sick-Nurse the French equivalent of Dickens' Sairy Gamp" and Plate 20 "A Minor Actor in a small theater who plays Wealthy Monarchs though actually starving here eating French Fries!. Plates 135671112142324252627 belong to Delteil's 2nd state of 3; The rest are all 3rd state. The first state avant la lettre are invariably described as "fort rare" and are now unfindable.

réf. 007350Paris: Bureau du Charivari et Chez Martinet. Lithographer: Destouches. First Edition. Wraps. Very Good Minus. Humorous caricatures and uproarious situations of the great master. A good number of the cartoons involve exotic locations -- China Morocco etc. Only two institutional holdings of the complete album evidenced on OCLC First Search -- at the NYPL and the Morgan Library. Oblong 26 by 33.5 cm. Condition: Wraps with light soiling and edgewear -- one closed tear short in length repaired or stabilized with clear tape. Leaves within have scattered foxing generally not overly obtrusive with not quite a third of the plates very heavily toned or more soiled. About a third of the plates come off as clean and the last third fall somewhere in between. Still an appealing copy of an important collection of caricature plates.

réf. NY34Paris Aubert n.d. 1840. Folio 339 x 263 mm of 30 plates. Green half-sheepskin flat spine. Contemporary binding. 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."" Good condition except for few foxing on some plates. Français Paris Aubert s.d. 1840. In-folio de 30 planches. Demi-basane verte dos orné en long. Reliure de l'époque. 339 x 263 mm. 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.

réf. 06382Paris: Chez Aubert & Cie. 1850. Anything You Like": Daumier and the Freedom of Observation Daumier's Notebook of Parisian Life DAUMIER Honoré. Tout ce qu'on voudra. 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. The complete series is recorded in the Daumier Register: DR 1647-1720; 2200-2217; 2320-2321. Paris: Chez Aubert & Cie., 1850 unknown

Paris: Chez Aubert Éditeur. 1844. Folio 13 3/16 x 10 inches; 335 x 254 mm. iv 152 pp. Twenty magnificent hand colored lithographs all heightened with gum arabic. Some light foxing which is mainly confined to the blank borders of the plates. The plates are by: Jules Platier 6; Honoré Daumier 5; Paul Gavarni 4; Frédéric Bouchot 4 & Henri Daniel Plattel 1. Publisher's quarter green calf over pictorial green paper boards smooth spine decoratively ruled and lettered in gilt in compartments. Extremities a little rubbed otherwise near fine. An excellent example with eleven of the wonderful hand colored lithographs by Honoré Daumier and Paul Gavarni. "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. DAUMIER. Chasse et Pêche no. 8.

Plate #7 from Physionomie Tragico-Classique is supplied both in color and black & white. Modern quarter brown calf over marbled boards spine with four raised bands lettered in gilt in compartments. Some light mainly marginal foxing to a few plates. Very scarce - especially the hand colored plates. Physionomies Tragiques. Tragic Physiognomies is a series of eleven lithographs published in Le Charivari between January and July 1851 and again in October 1852. Physionomie Tragico-Classique Tragic-classical physiognomies is a series of fifteen lithographs which were published in Le Charivari between January and November 1841. Two years after the publication of the series the Charivari offered his readers in 1843 an "Album Physionomies Tragico-Classiques" featuring all 15 prints of the series. It was published by Aubert and sold for a price of 9 Francs. La Tragédie Tragedy is a series of 3 prints which appeared 1848 in Le Charivari in January and February 1848. "The classical theatrical tradition had become stiff and lifeless over the years and the romanticists started opposing the classic theatre's exclusive role. The situation reached its climax in Victor Hugo's "Hernani" in 1830. Though violently criticized the play was a remarkable success with the public. Daumier also felt the time was ripe to revive Greek tragedy but in a somewhat unexpected way. Hardly ever have the antique Gods been thrust so far off their known path than under Daumier merciless crayon. Offenbach was the one who brought the Gods "down to the ground" on the musical side."

"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. DAUMIER. La Tragédie.

réf. 05492Paris: Chez Aubert 1838. The First Twenty Hand Colored Lithographs of Daumier's Most Celebrated Work DAUMIER Honoré and Charles Philipon. Les Robert Macaire Caricaturana. Paris: Chez Aubert 1836-1838. First edition. Oblong folio 10 3/8 x 14 inches; 264 x 355 mm. Twenty hand-colored lithographed plates numbered 1 - 20 heightened with gum arabic. Plate no. 7 supplied and expertly re-margined at gutter and lower margins. Contemporary quarter green calf over green patterned boards decoratively ruled in gilt with gilt corner pieces smooth spine. Inner hinges repaired slight rubbing to extremities. An excellent collection of the first twenty plates of Daumier's Caricaturana. "Les Robert Macaire remains Daumeir's best-known work. Baudelaire chose it. for specific discussion in his essay on French caricaturists and Carteret accorded it a place in his bibliography. Its contemporary popularity was immense. As an album it was published by Aubert in an edition of 2500 copies a far larger number than for any other series. Yet so persistent was the demand that 6000 two-volume sets of reduced copies called Les cent-et-un Robert Macaire were published in 1839." Ray. Though 2500 may have been printed few have survived. OCLC/KVK records only two copies in institutions worldwide Sadleir's at the Morgan Library and at Yale. Though both are complete only the Morgan copy is in the original cartonnage portfolio. ABPC reports only three complete copies at auction since 1935 and it appears that at least two were rebound; it is safe we think to presume that the third copy was also rebound. The 'reduced' edition of 1839 is still quite rare at auction two copies only since 1975 but there are more copies in institutional holdings. "When politics became a forbidden topic in Le Charivari where Caricaturana first appeared Daumier and Philipon turned to social satire. If they could not attack Louis-Philippe directly they could at least show the kind of society that flourished under his gross and venal regime. Taking the flamboyant and florid swindler Macaire from the character that Frederick Lemaitre had created in a hack melodrama called L'Auberge des adrets they showed him.ranging through all kinds of commercial enterprise in the stock market in the banks in the courts and in dozens of other public settings never failing to find eager dupes.Though Daumier's designes are are superb in themselves.they would be incomplete without the unfailing wit and point of Philipon's captions" Ray.

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. Le musée pour rire represents a more considerable effort on the part of Aubert. To accompany 150 lithographs including forty-five by Daumier among them twenty-seven from Croquis d'expressions and eight from La galerie physionomique and forty-two by Gavarni new commentaries were commissioned on each plate all except two by Alhoy and Huart. Daumier's lithographs were trimmed slightly and their captions were relettered. The designs of the other artists were provided with decorative frames. The whole was then published in three handsome volumes and in copies with expert contemporary coloring like this one Le musée pour rire is among the freshest and most attractive of romantic illustrated books" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book. Le Musée pour Rire "contained 150 lithographs by Daumier Gavarni Bouchot Traviès etc. These are re-impressions some of them in mirror image which had previously already been used for publication in Le Charivari. Most prints of the series ‘Croquis d'expressions' are contained in the book. The name of the series is missing and the texts were printed in a different type than in the original Charivari version. We do not consider these prints original lithographies but rather prints ‘after Daumier'". James Screeton was the son of bookbinder William Screeton of Hull. It appears that he was partner of binder William Wardell until opened his own shop in 1886. Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book 164. Paris: Chez Aubert, 1839 unknown books

réf. 14808`. Daumier Honore French 180.8-1879. LE VENTRE LEGISLATIF. Lithograph 1834. Published by L'Association Mensuelle in the issue of January 1834. With the ceneterfold but also folded horizontally. Signed in the stone. 11 x 17 1/8 inches image 14 x 21 1/2 inches sheet. The folds are apparent in the margins but very unobtrusive in the image. The title translates as "The Legislative Belly." The print is Daumier's satirical commentary on kind of people who made up the Chamber of Deputies in January of 1834. He shows them fat and self-satisfied implying that concern for the public good was not first on their minds. 1834 was a very volatile year in French politics with an insurrection in Lyon which was put down by military force. Conservatives who supported the monarchy and the status quo won the elections to the Chamber of Deputies. Only 200000 people those who paid a minimum of 200 Francs in taxes were eleigible to vote the population of France was then 30000000. This print with its strong graphic design and its forthright critique is among Daumiers most significant works. unknown

All edges gilt. Some foxing and toning throughout but still a very good 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. Le musée pour rire represents a more considerable effort on the part of Aubert. To accompany 150 lithographs including forty-five by Daumier among them twenty-seven from Croquis d'expressions and eight from La galerie physionomique and forty-two by Gavarni new commentaries were commissioned on each plate all except two by Alhoy and Huart. Daumier's lithographs were trimmed slightly and their captions were relettered. The designs of the other artists were provided with decorative frames. The whole was then published in three handsome volumes and in copies with expert contemporary coloring like this one Le musée pour rire is among the freshest and most attractive of romantic illustrated books" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book. Le Musée pour Rire "contained 150 lithographs by Daumier Gavarni Bouchot Traviès etc. These are re-impressions some of them in mirror image which had previously already been used for publication in Le Charivari. Most prints of the series 'Croquis d'expressions' are contained in the book. The name of the series is missing and the texts were printed in a different type than in the original Charivari version. We do not consider these prints original lithographies but rather prints 'after Daumier'". James Screeton was the son of bookbinder William Screeton of Hull. It appears that he was partner of binder William Wardell until opened his own shop in 1886. Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book 164. Paris: Chez Aubert, 1839 unknown
réf. 06233Paris: Chez Aubert & cie. 1847. Honoré Daumier's 'As You Like It' DAUMIER Honoré. Tout ce Qu'on Voudra As you like it. Paris: Chez Aubert & cie. 1847. Folio 13 1/4 x 9 7/8 inches; 336 x 251 mm. Nineteen fine lithograph plates of which seventeen are hand colored and heightened with gum arabic. Publisher's dark blue diaper-grain cloth covers ruled in blind front cover decoratively lettered in gilt smooth spine. This remarkably rare album containing the first nineteen plates of the series Tout ce Qu'on Voudra essentially constitutes a publisher's "sampler" or early issue collection with the added distinction that seventeen are hand-colored and heightened with gum arabic-a luxury not typically afforded to ordinary subscribers. Plate numbers 2 and 18 are uncolored. Near fine. This series comprises a broad range of social types and caricatured scenes drawn from Parisian life. Rather than focusing on a single theme like Daumier's earlier series on lawyers Les Gens de Justice or doctors Médecins et Malades Tout ce qu'on voudra is a free-ranging collection in the spirit of improvisation-satirizing bourgeois manners social pretensions urban spectacles and eccentric characters. It is sometimes considered a late echo of his Types Parisiens and other physiologie-inspired work. "Tout ce Qu'on Voudra. As you like it. This series consists of 94 lithographs published between March 281847 and November 30 1852 in the Charivari. Some of the plates carry no numbers. We are adding another 4 unpublished prints DR 1717 to 1720 which might have belonged to this series. Similar to the series "Les bons bourgeois" the prints of the present series are dealing with numerous small misfortunes in the life of the Parisians. They were especially impressed by the possibilities opened by the railroad. Travels to the surroundings and the French province were both exciting and startling experiences. Apart from these drawings this series also offers beautiful observations like the elderly couple remembering youth; memories and transience with a pensive humour and never offending." The Daumier Register. According to the Daumier Register and OCLC/WorldCat institutions typically only hold odd prints from this series not publisher's albums. Daumier Register Nos. 1647-1665.
