rif. 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."

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.

Paris: Chez Bauger et Cie. 1840-1842. Folio 13 1/2 x 10 5/8 inches; 343 x 270 mm. Twenty-eight superb lithograph plates all are 'sur blanc' printed on superior white wove paper. Contemporary quarter red morocco over red paper boards smooth spine elaborately decorated and titled in gilt. Corners and edges of boards a little worn. Some occasional light mainly marginal foxing the first plate with a small 1 1/2 inch inner marginal tear not affecting image. An excellent example of one of Daumier's rarest suites. "What oddities what contrasts what a jumble in the existence of these pariahs of civilization whose nomadic life and comical or terrible tribulations are told by Daumier's pencil! We find in this album the debris of all positions of all classes of all ranks: the man of letters next to the dog shearer the former trader next to the political refugee the prerogative of the empire with the clothes merchant. It is the summary of all the random industries the history of all the appetites which await in Paris the manna of chance it is the basis of society laid bare by a hand as spiritual as it is vigorous." translated from Hazard & Deltail p. 201. Les Bohémiens de Paris figures prominently in Charles F. Ramus' Daumier: 120 Great Lithographs which specially reproduces and describes Plate 9 "A Professional Sponger about to crash a fashionable Wedding Party" December 25th 1841; Plate 15 "A Sick-Nurse the French equivalent of Dickens' Sairey Gamp" May 22nd 1842 and Plate 20 "A Minor Actor in a small theater who plays wealthy monarchs though actually starving" February 19th 1842.

Two quarto volumes 10 1/4 x 8 inches; 260 x 203 mm. 8 200 4 publisher's advertisements; 8 204 4 publisher's advertisements pp. With 101 fine hand-colored lithographed plates heightened with gum arabic. Contemporary half dark purple polished calf decoratively ruled in gilt over brown diaper-grain cloth boards. Smooth spines decoratively tooled and lettered horizontally in gilt. Marbled edges. Joints expertly and almost invisibly restored. Some occasional light foxing and browning small light damp-stain in the upper blank margin of a few leaves in each volume. Volume I with small portion 5/8 x 1/4 inch of lower blank corner of second leaf of No. 4 torn away small piece torn from upper blank margin 1/4 x 1/2 inch of first leaf of No. 50. Volume II with a short tear 1/2 inch neatly repaired in the lower gutter of both leaves of No. 53. An excellent copy with superb hand coloring. "Les Robert-Macaire remains Daumier's best-known series.Baudelaire chose it along with Histoire ancienne 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 600 two-volume sets of reduced copies called Les cent-et-un Robert-Macaire were published in 1839.When politics became a forbidden topic in Le charivari where Caricaturana Les Robert-Macaire 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 Frédérick Lemaître had created in a hack melodrama called L'Auberge des adrets they showed him and his inseparable companion the dejected and meager Bertrand 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. Macaire is equally persuasive in the encounters of private life where no situation finds him at a loss for an appropriate flower of sentiment.Though Daumier's designs are superb in themselves particularly in the variety of supple and telling poses.that he conceives for Macaire and Bertrand they would be incomplete without the unfailing wit and point of Philipon's captions" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book pp. 234-236. "These reduced and for the most part reversed copies of Daumier's lithographs apparently drawn by Menut Alophe are greatly inferior to the originals. Unlike Caricaturana the series is not often found colored" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book p. 236.

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.

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."

rif. 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.

"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.

rif. 05441Paris: Chez Aubert 1838. Daumier's Masterpiece of French Social Satire The Complete Les Robert Macaire - One Hundred Magnificently Hand-Colored Lithographs Heightened with Gum Arabic An Extraordinary Copy in the Original Publisher's Blue Cloth with an Additional Plate from the Exceedingly Rare Second Series DAUMIER Honoré 1808-1879 illustrator and PHILIPON Charles 1800-1862. Les Robert Macaire Caricaturana. Paris: Chez Aubert August 1836-November 1838. First edition. Folio 13 3/16 x 10 3/8 inches; 338 x 263 mm. One hundred original hand-colored lithographed plates all heightened with gum arabic together with one additional hand-colored plate from the exceptionally scarce second series. The complete suite of one hundred plates from the first series is present. A remarkable bibliographical curiosity: In this copy plate 96 À tous les cœurs bien nés que la patrie est chère!! Daumier Register 451 published October 28 1838 was originally replaced by a plate from the second series Robert Macaire 2e Série No. 7: Nouveautés philanthropiques Daumier Register 872 published April 4 1841. The plate number has been altered in old ink to read "96" apparently at or before the time of binding although the circumstances of the substitution cannot be established with certainty. An original hand-colored impression of the correct plate 96 DR 451 has subsequently been supplied and inserted immediately following plate 95 thereby restoring the complete first series while preserving the unusual second-series plate in its original bound position. The first plate bound a little tightly at the upper margin just touching the image. Plate 13 DR 366 with a small expertly repaired marginal tear extending approximately 1 1/2 inches and just touching the image; plate 46 DR 401 with a small expert repair approximately 5/8 inch to the inner blank margin; plates 11 DR 364 31 DR 385 and 48 DR 403 each with a tiny repaired marginal tear approximately 5/16 inch. A few plates very slightly toned; plate 34 DR 388 with some light foxing. Overall the plates are remarkably fresh with exceptionally vivid hand-coloring. Original publisher's diaper-grain blue cloth covers ruled in blind front cover decoratively lettered in gilt "Robert-Macaire." Plain endpapers. Expertly recased with inner hinges repaired. An early bookseller's catalogue description dated April 1942 affixed to the front free endpaper making no reference to the substituted plate. Traces of old tape residue on the front and rear endpapers. An excellent and unusually desirable example retaining the exceptionally scarce original publisher's binding and displaying the superb quality of the contemporary hand-coloring throughout. The Great Masterpiece of Daumier's Social Satire: Among the many achievements of Honoré Daumier few have exercised so enduring an influence upon the history of caricature as Les Robert Macaire. First published in the pages of Le Charivari between 1836 and 1838 this extraordinary series of one hundred lithographs constitutes one of the most penetrating inventive and entertaining portrayals of nineteenth-century French society. The series arose from the increasingly restrictive political climate of Louis-Philippe's July Monarchy. Following the September Laws of 1835 which severely curtailed political caricature Daumier and his publisher and collaborator Charles Philipon redirected their formidable satirical talents toward the absurdities pretensions and moral corruption of contemporary bourgeois life. Their vehicle was Robert Macaire the flamboyant confidence trickster made famous by the actor Frédérick Lemaître in the melodrama L'Auberge des Adrets. In Daumier's hands Macaire became something altogether more significant: the embodiment of a society in which speculation self-interest hypocrisy and dishonesty appeared to flourish in virtually every profession. Accompanied by his long-suffering accomplice Bertrand Macaire appears in an astonishing succession of disguises and occupations: banker lawyer physician businessman journalist financier entrepreneur philanthropist and opportunist of every conceivable description. No institution escapes scrutiny. The law courts the stock exchange the medical profession commercial speculation fashionable society marriage religion and charitable enterprise all provide opportunities for Macaire's inexhaustible ingenuity in separating the gullible from their money. Daumier's genius lies not merely in the grotesque exaggeration of his figures but in his extraordinary understanding of human character. Macaire's expansive gestures magnificent self-assurance and perpetual air of injured respectability are rendered with such brilliance that the character becomes at once ludicrous recognizable and disturbingly convincing. The accompanying captions largely devised by Philipon are an essential part of the achievement. Their wit irony and perfectly judged dialogue transform each lithograph into a miniature theatrical performance. Together artist and writer created a sustained comic portrait of an entire social order one whose relevance has scarcely diminished in the intervening two centuries. The original album was published by Aubert in a reported edition of 2500 copies a considerably larger printing than was customary for contemporary lithographic series. However the overwhelming majority were issued with the plates uncolored and complete copies with contemporary hand-coloring are particularly desirable. The present example is distinguished by the brilliance and freshness of its coloring enhanced throughout by the application of gum arabic which lends a characteristic luminosity and richness to selected details. The original publisher's blue cloth binding is another feature of exceptional importance. Most surviving copies have been rebound and examples retaining their original publisher's cloth are seldom encountered. This is only the second such copy we have handled. The present copy possesses the additional distinction of containing a plate from the exceedingly scarce second series of Robert Macaire issued between 1840 and 1842. This later continuation comprised twenty lithographs Daumier Register 866-885 and individual impressions are themselves difficult to obtain. The presence of Nouveautés philanthropiques DR 872 incorporated into the original sequence and renumbered in contemporary ink is an intriguing survival. Whether introduced by the publisher or by an early owner it provides unusual evidence of the manner in which these lithographic albums could be assembled and altered. With the correct original plate 96 now supplied the album preserves the complete first series while retaining this additional and exceptionally uncommon impression. The bibliographical importance of Les Robert Macaire has long been recognized. Charles Baudelaire singled out the series for discussion in his essay on French caricaturists while Philip Hofer Gordon N. Ray and other historians of illustrated books have acknowledged its central position in the development of modern graphic satire. Gordon Ray described it as Daumier's best-known work and noted the extraordinary contemporary popularity that led to the publication of 6000 copies of the smaller-format two-volume Les Cent-et-Un Robert Macaire beginning in 1839. Despite this popularity complete copies of the original folio series are uncommon and those combining contemporary hand-coloring exceptional condition and the publisher's original binding are rarer still. A magnificent survival of one of the most celebrated achievements in the history of European caricature combining artistic brilliance bibliographical rarity and an unusually interesting publishing history.

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.

French lithographer and caricaturist Honoré Daumier Marseilles February 26 1808 - Valmondois February 10 1879 famous for his satirical cartoons targeting the political figures of the time. Daumier from a very young age demonstrated a propensity for drawing. In 1825 he was an apprentice of Beliard lithography starting to collaborate then with the humorous newspaper "La Silhouette" demonstrating right from the start all his satirical verve. Among the first tables that he created one caused a stir. In it the caricaturist opposed the glorious Napoleonic tricolor to the restored Bourbon flag. Daumier's political commitment did not stop at paper but he took an active part in the revolutionary uprisings which overthrew the monarchy of Charles X in July 1830. During the uprisings he was also hit by a bullet. In 1835 he began his collaboration with the famous satirical newspaper directed by Charles Philipon and Gabriel Aubert "La Caricature" which gave him fame and visibility but also various problems which also led him to be imprisoned for a too ferocious cartoon towards Louis Philippe I of France formerly Louis-Philippe Duke of Orléans. Dumier in the following years became one of the most famous illustrators of France collaborating with newspapers such as Le Charivari and La Chronique de Paris newspaper founded in 1836 by Balzac who also used the caricaturist for the images of some of his works and illustrating classic works and contemporary novels achieving enormous success.

rif. 04953Paris: Léopold Pannier et Cie. 1841. One Hundred Masterpieces by Honoré Daumier Two Exceptionally Rare Complete Albums Bound Together One Hundred Superb Lithographs Satirizing Parisian Life and the Classical World DAUMIER Honoré illustrator. Variétés Drolatiques. Paris: Léopold Pannier et Cie. 1841. First collected edition. Folio 13 3/16 x 10 inches; 335 x 254 mm. Publisher Léopold Pannier gathered together seven of Daumier's finest humorous series into a single album comprising fifty lithographs: Vulgarités 10 plates complete Les Musiciens de Paris 6 plates complete Proverbes de Famille 2 plates complete Proverbes et Maximes 12 plates complete La Pêche 7 plates complete La Journée du Célibataire 12 plates complete Les Saltimbanques 1 plate as issued in the album A total of fifty lithographs. As noted by the Daumier Register: "Pannier published a separate album with the title Variétés Drolatiques. containing seven complete series. bringing the total number of prints to fifty. This album can be considered rare." Far scarcer than the individual lithographs themselves this publisher's album represents one of the earliest attempts to preserve Daumier's celebrated caricatures in collected form. The seven suites encompass every aspect of Parisian life - from domestic quarrels and bachelorhood to musicians fishermen itinerant entertainers and the comic absurdities of bourgeois society. Together they provide an extraordinary survey of Daumier's mature genius during the early years of the July Monarchy. Institutionally the album is exceptionally elusive. OCLC records only three individual plates from Proverbes et Maximes in public collections while we have located only a single complete copy appearing at auction sold between October 1898 and July 1899. Even the celebrated Armand Hammer Collection includes only a single plate from La Pêche. Bound with Histoire Ancienne Daumier's Brilliant Satire on Classical Antiquity DAUMIER Honoré illustrator. PHILIPON Charles. Histoire Ancienne. Paris: Chez Aubert 1841-1843. Complete with fifty lithographed plates. Together the two works comprise one hundred superb lithographs. Contemporary quarter dark brown morocco over marbled boards spine with four raised bands ruled in blind and lettered in gilt marbled endpapers. A near fine complete example. One of Daumier's most original and intellectually ambitious achievements Histoire Ancienne transforms the heroes and gods of Greece and Rome into recognizably nineteenth-century Parisians. Achilles Ulysses Hercules Jupiter and countless other classical figures are stripped of their heroic grandeur and recast as vain bourgeois comic bureaucrats quarrelsome husbands and pretentious social climbers. Published between 1841 and 1843 the series formed part of the Romantic assault upon academic Classicism then dominating French art and literature. Charles Philipon's witty accompanying texts contain numerous veiled political references to the reign of King Louis-Philippe making the series not merely humorous but a sophisticated exercise in social and political satire. Among the finest plates are: Le Baptême d'Achille in which the infant Achilles is plunged into the Styx with comic domestic realism rather than epic grandeur. La Mère des Gracques perhaps the best-known image in the series where the famous Roman matron proudly presents her boisterous children as her "only jewels" allowing Daumier to transform an episode from Plutarch into a scene from contemporary Parisian family life. Complete copies are extraordinarily uncommon. We have located only a single institutional example worldwide at the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Bound together these two remarkable albums contain one hundred original lithographs spanning every facet of Daumier's genius - from the comic theater of everyday Parisian existence to his devastating reinterpretation of the ancient world. Few nineteenth-century caricature albums combine such artistic brilliance historical importance and genuine rarity. An exceptional opportunity to acquire two of the master's most elusive and complete lithographic series in a handsome contemporary binding. Paris: Léopold Pannier et Cie., 1841 unknown books

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'". Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book 164. Paris: Chez Aubert, 1839 unknown books
