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 books

rif. 04944Paris: Chez Aubert et Cie 1839. Daumier's Greatest Comic Masterpiece The Exceptionally Rare Original Hand-Colored Quarto Edition One Hundred and One Magnificent Hand-Colored Lithographs DAUMIER Honoré. PHILIPON Charles. Les Cent et Un Robert-Macaire composés et dessinés par M. H. Daumier. Paris: Aubert et Cie 1839. First quarto edition. Original hand-colored issue. Two quarto volumes 10 3/8 x 8 inches; 264 x 203 mm. With 101 magnificent hand-colored lithographed plates all heightened with gum arabic. Contemporary red chagrin over silk paper-covered boards elaborately blocked in gilt all edges gilt. A few text leaves toned occasional scattered foxing largely confined to margins but an unusually attractive copy. The original contemporary hand-coloring remains exceptionally bright and fresh throughout. Few creations in the history of nineteenth-century illustration proved more influential than Robert Macaire. Originally a theatrical rogue invented by Frédérick Lemaître for the melodrama L'Auberge des Adrets the character was transformed by Charles Philipon and Honoré Daumier into the very personification of modern society's corruption speculation opportunism and commercial fraud. Unable to attack King Louis-Philippe directly after the tightening of censorship Philipon and Daumier turned their attention from politics to society itself. Robert Macaire became the perfect vehicle through which they could ridicule bankers lawyers stockbrokers politicians journalists industrialists doctors inventors philanthropists publishers and virtually every profession created by the rapidly expanding bourgeois economy. No enterprise was too respectable to escape his schemes no victim too sophisticated to become his dupe. The result was one of the supreme achievements of French social satire. First issued individually in Le Charivari and later collected in the celebrated Caricaturana the series enjoyed immense contemporary popularity. So great was the demand that Aubert published this reduced quarto edition in 1839 in an edition of approximately six hundred sets. While the lithographs are reductions of Daumier's original folio compositions they preserve the extraordinary vitality of his draftsmanship and remain among the most entertaining illustrated books of the nineteenth century. As Gordon N. Ray observed: "Les Robert-Macaire remains Daumier's best-known series." He further noted that although these reduced lithographs are generally less accomplished than the original folio issues they are "not often found colored." That observation greatly understates the rarity of copies retaining their original contemporary hand-coloring. The present example is distinguished not only by its completeness but by the remarkable freshness of its coloring whose delicate palette and gum arabic highlights considerably enhance the visual brilliance of every plate. More than simply comic entertainment Les Cent et Un Robert-Macaire constitutes one of the great illustrated chronicles of the July Monarchy. Daumier and Philipon expose an age intoxicated by speculation finance political ambition and commercial enterprise yet their satire remains astonishingly modern. Robert Macaire is not merely a nineteenth-century swindler; he is the eternal confidence man continually reinventing himself to exploit every new opportunity offered by society. Few illustrated books better demonstrate Daumier's extraordinary gifts as both artist and storyteller. Across one hundred and one brilliantly conceived scenes Robert Macaire appears in every imaginable disguise - stock promoter publisher lawyer inventor politician philanthropist physician military entrepreneur newspaper editor art dealer and countless others - each episode exposing another facet of bourgeois hypocrisy with inexhaustible invention and comic brilliance. Beautiful original hand-colored examples of this celebrated work are among the most desirable of all nineteenth-century French illustrated books and are encountered only rarely on the market.
