Cham (pseud. Di Charles Amédée de Noé)MareMagnum

Miroir du Calicot par Cham, auteur des Folies caricaturales, de Mr Jobbard, de Mr Lajauinesse des 2 filles a marier etc.

In 12°; 27 cc. Brossura editoriale con il piatto anteriore riccamente illustrato, qualche mancanza di carta al dorso. Una piccolissima mancanza di carta al margine superiore bianco dell'ultima carta, ininfluente. Prima edizione di questa raccolta di opere satiriche e caricaturali del celebre illustratore, caricaturista e fumettista francese, Charles Amédée de Noé, noto con lo pseudonimo di Cham (Parigi, 26 gennaio 1818 Parigi, 6 settembre 1879). Di nobili origini, suo padre era Conte di Noé e Pari di Francia, nonostante una naturale predisposizione per la matematica, preferì fin da giovane di frequentare le botteghe dei due celebri pittori, Nicolas Toussaint Charlet e Paul Delaroche. La sua opera "Histoire de Mr. Lajaunisse", pubblicata per la prima volta nel 1839, una storia ideata come un susseguirsi di immagini sequenziali sulla scorta dell opera dello svizzero Rodolphe Topffer, è considerato il primo albo a fumetti francese. L'opera qui presentata, facente parte delle Miroir Comiques, ne rappresenta il numero 2. Rarissimo. Very rare.

Album du Siége

ref. 04977Paris: Aux Bureaux du Charivari 1871. Thirty-Nine Wonderfully Satiric Images by Daumier & Cham of the Siege of Paris by the Prussian army in the Winter of 1870-1871 CHAM pseudonym of Amédée de Noé. DAUMIER Honoré. Album du Siége Par Cham et Daumier. Recueil de Caricatures publiées pendant Le Siege dans Le Charivari. Paris: Aux Bureaux du Charivari 1871. First edition. Large quarto 12 x 9 5/8 inches; 305 x 244 mm. Pictorial lithograph title-page Cham and thirty-nine fine lithograph plates ten of which are by Honoré Daumier and the rest by Cham. Publisher's red pebbled cloth over boards front cover lettered in gilt marbled endpapers. Thirty-nine wonderfully satiric images of the siege of Paris by the Prussian army in the winter of 1870-1871 originally published in Le Charivari and reprinted as an album in 1871 with a new image used for the title page. OCLC locates just sixteen copies in libraries and institutions worldwide nine in the USA four in the Netherlands two in Germany and one in Australia ten of these appear to be bound without the pictorial title. It would seem that this volume was only issued with uncolored plates. "For many of Daumier's admirers his lithographs of 1870-1871 represent the peak of his achievement. They are in his last style massive stripped down direct which speaks as nothing else could for this tragic period in France's history. The Siege of Paris - that took place from 19th September 1870 to 28th January 1871 and the consequent capture of the city by Prussian force - culminated in France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War and the establishment of both the German Empire and the Paris Commune - the radical socialist anti-religious and revolutionary government that ruled Paris from 18th March to 28th May 1871. The Franco-Prussian War had led to the capture of Emperor Napoleon III in September 1870 the collapse of the Second French Empire and the beginning of the Third Republic. The Plates: 1. Pictorial title-page Cham 2. Modes Parisiennes en prévision du bombardment Cham 112 3. Le bombardment Cham 5 4. La valeur Prussienne n'attendant pas le nombre des années Cham 8 5. Ceci a tué cela Daumier 3845 6. Plus de Gaz Cham 127 7. Préparant les éntrennes pour son peuple Cham 8.

Tu t'es mis un faux ventre! Pour faire des sorties pour montrer à l'ennemi que nous avons beaucoup de vivres Cham 106 13. Les animaux du jardin des plantes faisant queue comme tout le monde pour avoir leur viande Cham 110 14. Square Napoléon Daumier 3824 15. Je me suis mis dans les volontaires! Animal! Tu n'as pas 35 ans! On va dire que nous ne sommes pas mariés! Cham 121 16. Ce pauvre Henri IV voyant emmener son cheval chez le boucher Cham 130 17. Épouvantée de l'héritage Daumier 3838 18. Madame Putois j/aurais tout de même jamais cru que vous tueriez votre chien pour nous en faire manger - Il a bien fallu. il était enrage! Cham 17 19. Maintenant j'adore les gens grêlés ils me rappellent le gruyere! Cham 120 20. Plus de viande! Allons donc! Cham 123 21. Rationnement du pain - un monsieur allant diner en ville Cham 16 22.

L'empire c'est la paix Daumier 3814 27. Ils auront beau emporter les pendules ils n'empêcheront pas l'heure de la vengeance de sonner Cham 138 28. Nous ne nous serions jamais doutés tout de même que nous naviguerions un jour sur ce vaisseau-là Daumier 3819 29. Le nouveau char de la victoire Daumier 3849 30. Le revers de la médaille de Sainte-Hélène Cham 108 31. Soldats! Il fait très froid; mais si l'on est content de vous on donnera un paletot fourré. au maréchal Fritz Cham 122 32. La queue pour la viande de rats Cham 124 33. Pauvre France!. le tronc est foudroyé mais les raciness tiennent bon! Daumier 3843 34. Tant bis! Il aurait brobablement ennuyé blu tard les enfants de Fritz Cham 6 35. J'ai besoin de quitter Paris - Pour rejoinder votre femme - Au contraire; voila cinq mois qu'elle ne m'a pas quitté Cham 27 36.

C'est triste mais c'est encore de la chance dans ce moment-ci! Cham 22 39. Moi je suis ravitaillé!. le rests m'est égal Daumier 3851 40. Après le Siége Cham 113 "Particularly to be noted are his bitter reflections on the legend which Charlet Bellangé Raffet and their imitators had helped to create. The desolate battleground of "The empire means peace" no. 26 offers an ironic commentary on an epigram uttered by Napoleon III in 1852. His "Square Napoleon" no. 14 displays the gravestones of those for whose death the Emperor has been responsible beginning with the Boulevard Monmartre in the winter of 1851 and ending with Sedan in 1870. In Cham's "The reverse of the Saint Helena medal" no. 30 indeed the country's disaster is attributed specifically to Napoleon Bonaparte as well as to Napoleon III. Daumier's first plate for 1871 showing France "Appalled by her heritage" no. 17 is bleak indeed but a later design offers a gleam of hope: "Poor France!. The trunk blasted but the roots hold fast" no. 33. It should be mentioned that Cham's contributions to this album though trivial in comparison with Daumier's monumental compositions are by no means negligible. He provides the detail that Daumier omitted. The horrors of the bombardment are recorded in his plates but so too is the black humor of Parisian life during the siege. For example he shows the population pursuing food in any form - horses cats rats even a large woman regarded with speculation by an impudent boy: "No more meat! - Let's go then!" no. 20. The plates included in Album du siège were transferred to zinc for engraving by Gillot's process rather than printed directly from Daumier's lithographic stones." Gordon N. Ray.
