réf. 06067Paris: N.p. 1895. A Unique Daumier Survival: Robert Macaire Boursier Issued as a Belle Époque Jig-Saw Puzzle Preserved in the Original Delvaux Paris Box DAUMIER Honoré. Robert Macaire Boursier. Caricaturana no. 29. Jig-Saw Puzzle. N.p. Paris n.d. circa 1895-1915. Folio 12 1/2 × 9 7/8 inches; 317 × 251 mm. Approximately eighty interlocking pieces. Finely colored print mounted on laminated wood approximately 1.5-3 mm thick precision-cut to form a complete jig-saw puzzle. Housed in the original Delvaux Paris box patterned and lettered "Delvaux" with retail address at 18 Rue Royale-Opéra Paris. An extraordinarily rare and apparently unrecorded adaptation of Daumier's most celebrated satirical image transforming Robert Macaire Boursier - the archetypal financier-swindler of the July Monarchy - into a luxury Belle Époque leisure object. While Daumier's Robert Macaire series is well documented in lithographic form no jig-saw or puzzle versions appear in the standard Daumier bibliographies. The quality of production chromolithographic coloring and machine-cut interlocking pieces place the object firmly in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century and suggest a sophisticated adult audience rather than a child's toy. The association with Delvaux one of Europe's oldest luxury houses is especially notable and points to a Parisian market for refined satirical amusements sold alongside high-end travel and novelty goods. The survival of the original Delvaux box is exceptional and may be unique in the Daumier field. The puzzle survives substantially complete with the image fully legible when assembled. A remarkable cross-category survival at the intersection of caricature material culture and luxury retail history and among the most unusual Daumier objects to appear on the market.

réf. 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.

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.

1837réf. 7241837. Lithograph. 325mm by 255mm sheet. Plate 57 from the Robert Macaire 'Caricaturana' series. 'Confound it Mr. Dentist you have pulled out two good teeth and have left the two bad ones' Robert Macaire aside 'The devil' aloud 'No doubt and for good reasons there is always time to extract the bad ones ; as to the others they would have decayed and caused you pain. A false set will never make you suffer and it is of a better kind ; people wear nothing but that now'.From a series of lithographs that show the character Robert Macaire in a variety of guises. Macaire originally a character in a play is a swindler who takes on a number of professions such as journalist librarian and so on always ruthlessly pursuing personal gain. Macaire's character symbolised the mood in France at the time of the July Monarchy of the 1830s and 1840s when wealthy financiers and company owners dominated politics and looked after their own interests at the expense of others. In this print Macaire is in the guise of a dentist. CONDITION : There is some discolouration at the bottom of the sheet and a little in the title area. Some toning to the edges of the sheet. unknown
