réf. 05937Paris: Arnauld de Vresse & Martinet 1864. Cham's Most Ambitious Sustained Effort. Actualités - 116 Hand Colored Lithographs CHAM pseudonym of Amédée de Noé. Actualités. A fine collection of one hundred and sixteen hand colored lithograph plates all heightened with gum arabic. Paris: Arnauld de Vresse & Martinet 1864-1870. A superb collection of one hundred and sixteen 116 original hand-colored lithographs each heightened with gum arabic satirizing the political social and cultural life of France during the reign of Napoleon III and the dawn of the Third Republic. Folio 13 x 9/78 inches; 330 x 250 mm. printed on fine wove paper. Preserved loose as issued without text. Chemised in a half black morocco over red cloth clamshell case spine with five raised bands decoratively ruled and lettered in gilt in compartments. Cham - the indefatigable caricaturist Amédée de Noé - produced over 40000 drawings in his career but the Actualités series issued in parts throughout the 1860s and early 1870s remains his most ambitious sustained effort. These plates rarely encountered in contemporary hand-colored state brilliantly combine political allegory fashion satire social comedy and fantastical invention. The application of gum arabic provides added brilliance and depth to surfaces such as glassware metallic armor feathers silks and human expressions. Comparable to Daumier in invention but with a lighter more whimsical tone Cham's satires range from the boulevards of Paris to the battlefields of Europe lampooning politicians dandies soldiers and housewives alike. Large groups of Actualités in colored form are of great rarity.
