OCLC locates just four copies worldwide: Morgan Library & Museum; New York Public Library; Getty Institute; University of Illinois. CHAM pseudonym of Amédée de Noé 1818-1879. French caricaturist and lithographer published his first book Monsieur Lajeunesse in 1839 and from 1843 began to be regularly published in illustrated magazines such as Le Charivari which in 1835 focused primarily on publishing satires of everyday life thereafter becoming one of the most popular of French caricaturists through entertaining storybooks such as this work which satirized 'jokes in poor taste.' Several artists "followed in the wake of Daumier and Gavarni. Among the most attractive of the former is Amédéé de Noé "known as Cham that is Ham the son of Noah.it was said that he had 'an idea a day' for Le charivari. A good proportion of his thousands of lithographs were gathered into albums. His contributions to the Album du siège 173 in which Daumier was his collaborator are typical of his work" Ray pp. 155-156. Cham had contacts with English artists many of whom had trained on the Continent most in company with English artist and follower of the pioneering German lithographer Alois Senefelder.

Spine with five raised bands tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments marbled endpapers. An excellent example with ten of the wonderful hand colored lithographs by Honoré Daumier. "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.

Complete with all six of the original front wrappers and the five leaves of advertisements at the end. First edition bound from the original parts. Small folio 11 x 7 7/8 inches; 280 x 200 mm. 1-192 pp. Six full page engraved plates and numerous engravings throughout the text.

The commencement of Punch à Paris was in February 1850 and was intended to be a monthly published magazine however in June 1850 after just six issues Punch à Paris had to cease publication "The excessive rigors of the new press law oblige us to suspend our publication". Cham pseudonym of Charles Amédée de Noé 1818-1879 has collaborated in many satirical newspapers and has also published a number of albums of lithographs or woodcuts. Very comfortable in political and moral caricatures he is one of the first to give stories in drawings that will soon be called comics and as such occupies a key place in the history of comics in France and among the pioneers of the genre. Louis Adrien Huart 1813-1865 was a French journalist writer and theater director. From 1835 he wrote for Le Charivari France's main opposition satirical daily of which he was to become the most assiduous editor. In his literary and theatrical chronicles as well as in his satires of daily political news he constantly approached the legal limit set by censorship without ever exceeding it. Many legends of lithographs by Honoré Daumier came from his pen. Editor-in-chief of Charivari from 1848 he later became its editor until his death. He had the merit of discovering and promoting young talents from the new generation such as Henri Rochefort who without him would have remained a simple employee of the administration. He also wrote the text for several books illustrated by Grandville and Cham. Victor Champs 1844-1912 was one of the most prolific and renowned bookbinders of the late nineteenth century. "His bindings for bibliophiles are sought after by collectors for the good performance of their body of work and the finish of the work. Together with Carayon they were the bookbinders who in relatively simple works summed up the highest degree of perfection of execution." Fléty p.41. Provenance: Bibliothèque Antoine Vautier. One of the great French bibliophiles whose superb collection "Catalogue de Vente aux Encheres" was sold in Paris at Hotel Drouot on April 21st 1971 and on May 11th 1977. Hatin 521.

French caricaturist and lithographer published his first book Monsieur Lajeunesse in 1839 and from 1843 began to be regularly published in illustrated magazines such as Le Charivari which in 1835 focused primarily on publishing satires of everyday life thereafter becoming one of the most popular of French caricaturists through entertaining storybooks such as this work which satirized 'jokes in poor taste.' Several artists "followed in the wake of Daumier and Gavarni. Among the most attractive of the former is Amédéé de Noé "known as Cham that is Ham the son of Noah.it was said that he had 'an idea a day' for Le charivari.

ref. 04875Paris: Maison Martinet 1856. Three of Cham's Greatest Rarities Three Complete Hand-Colored Albums Bound Together Sixty Superb Hand-Colored Lithographs by the Great Master of French Comic Illustration CHAM pseudonym of Charles Amédée de Noé 1818-1879. L'Art d'Engraisser et de Maigrir à Volonté. & Mr. Papillon ou L'Amour Autour du Monde. & Pincez-moi à la Campagne!! Paris: Maison Martinet 1856-ca. 1860. Three complete first editions bound together in one folio volume. Folio 12 11/16 x 9 7/8 inches; 326 x 251 mm. Three magnificent pictorial hand-colored lithograph title-pages and sixty superb hand-colored lithograph plates all heightened with gum arabic and containing more than two hundred individual comic scenes. Plates lithographed by Fernique and Destouches. Late nineteenth-century olive-green buckram over boards marbled endpapers. Spine lightly rubbed. An exceptionally bright fresh copy the original hand-coloring remarkably vibrant throughout and beautifully heightened with gum arabic. Few artists captured the humor absurdity and quiet eccentricities of nineteenth-century French life more brilliantly than Cham. During a career spanning more than forty years Charles Amédée de Noé became one of the principal illustrators of Le Charivari producing thousands of caricatures that chronicled bourgeois society with inexhaustible wit and extraordinary graphic invention. While Daumier supplied biting political satire and Gavarni revealed the elegance and vanities of Parisian society Cham excelled in transforming the comic mishaps of everyday life into irresistibly entertaining visual narratives. His finest work appeared not only in newspapers but as luxurious hand-colored lithographic albums published by Maison Martinet. Intended for the fashionable drawing room rather than the newsstand these beautifully colored folios represent the highest achievement of French comic lithography during the Second Empire. Complete examples are today among the rarest survivals of nineteenth-century illustrated publishing. The present volume unites three of Cham's most elusive albums each complete and preserved with exceptionally rich contemporary hand-coloring. Together they comprise sixty large folio lithographs whose sparkling color and delicate gum arabic highlights remain remarkably fresh. The Art of Gaining Weight and Losing Weight Cham's wonderfully absurd satire on Victorian health fads follows the fortunes of two inseparable friends whose greatest ambitions could scarcely be more different. Monsieur Lesec painfully thin longs to become stout while the enormously overweight Monsieur Legras dreams only of becoming slim. Their increasingly desperate attempts at self-improvement lead them across Europe North Africa the Crimea Turkey and India where every new adventure - from lion hunting and camel riding to exotic diets and improbable medical cures - produces precisely the opposite effect. Cham transforms what begins as a parody of fashionable diet manuals into a wonderfully sustained comic novel in pictures culminating in a delightfully macabre conclusion worthy of the finest nineteenth-century satire. Only four hand-colored institutional copies are recorded worldwide. Mr. Papillon or Love Around the World Among Cham's rarest productions Mr. Papillon recounts the romantic adventures of an incurable optimist whose search for love carries him from country to country. Everywhere he encounters unfamiliar customs impossible misunderstandings cultural mishaps and romantic disappointment each episode providing Cham with fresh opportunities for gentle social satire. The album is one of Cham's most elegant narrative works combining graceful draftsmanship with an effortless sense of comic timing. Beneath its humor lies a sly parody of both sentimental romance and the fashionable travel literature of the period. Only a single institutional copy appears to survive. Pinch Me I'm in the Country!! Perhaps the rarest of all Cham's albums Pincez-moi à la Campagne!! is a masterpiece of observational comedy. Convinced that life in the countryside promises peace simplicity and healthy recreation an urbane Parisian eagerly exchanges the capital for rural France. His idyllic expectations collapse almost immediately. Instead he encounters uncomfortable lodgings impossible furniture sleepless nights aggressive livestock disastrous hunting expeditions endless insects suspicious villagers and every conceivable rural inconvenience. Each attempt to embrace country life merely compounds his misery producing one comic disaster after another. More than a century and a half later Cham's observations remain strikingly modern. His humor derives not from exaggerated caricature alone but from universal human experience - the city dweller discovering that nature is far less accommodating than imagined. The album anticipates the gentle observational comedy of Jacques Tati and possesses a timeless quality rarely found in nineteenth-century caricature. In more than one hundred years of recorded auction results we have been unable to trace another copy. Only eight institutional examples are known worldwide. Cham's comic albums occupy a unique position in the history of French illustration. They bridge the gap between the early Romantic lithographers and the mature social satire of the later nineteenth century combining sophisticated narrative structure with some of the most attractive hand-colored lithography ever produced in Paris. As Gordon N. Ray observed: "Among the most attractive. is Amédée de Noé known as Cham. of whom it was said that he had 'an idea a day' for Le Charivari. A good proportion of his thousands of lithographs were gathered into albums." The Art of the French Illustrated Book pp. 155-156. Three complete hand-colored albums by Cham are seldom encountered together. Preserved in such fresh condition with unusually brilliant original coloring and comprising three of the artist's rarest publications this volume represents one of the finest surviving monuments to the golden age of French comic lithography.
