1900Best.-Nr. 1865s.l., ca 1900. 35 X 26 cm (planches), 8 x 11 ou 5 x 6 cm (photos). 9 planches. Ensemble de 57 photographies originales sur papier, réparties sur 9 planches, titrées et illustrées à la main, à l'encre et à la gouache.Les photographies représentent des portraits (individuels ou collectifs), les loisirs et jeux (cerceau, croquet, bicyclette, balançoire, promenades, chasse, farniente...), des travaux des champs et sont accompagnées de légendes, souvent humoristiques. De nombreuses illustrations ornent également les planches : personnages, titres et motifs décoratifs, fleurs, frises, paysages ... Au verso des planches, 8 portraits de personnalités réalisés à l'encre : Etienne Marcel, Bailly, Ledru-Rollin, Turgot, Talleyrand, Eugène Cavaignac, Daguerre et Niepce, ainsi que des symboles (fleur de lys) ou armoiries et blasons éxécutés à l'encre et à la gouache. Très intéressant ensemble, qui reflète une certaine diffusion sociale de la pratique photographique - au sein de l'élite bourgeoise - à la fin du XIXe siècle, en lien avec l'évolution des techniques, à la fois en ce qui concerne la prise de vue et les procédés de tirage. Equipés d'appareils d'utilisation de plus en plus aisée, de nombreux amateurs immortalisent alors, comme ici, les petits et grands moments de la vie de tous les jours, constituant albums de souvenirs et collections privées qui consacrent le rôle désormais essentiel de l'image dans la culture de la Belle Epoque. L'auteur de ces clichés, qui ne manquait ni d'humour ni de talent, a par ailleurs enrichi son travail artisanal d'autres éléments esthétiques : décors et ornements graphiques issus de l'univers du livre (imitant fleurons,bandeaux, culs-de-lampe, séparations de chapitres...), dessins "classiques" (paysages, portraits), inspirés du mouvement Art Nouveau (fleurs, vignette "japonisante") ou influencés par la presse et l'affiche (typographie fantaisiste, caricatures,...).
