Chansons de P.J. Béranger Anciennes Nouvelles et Inédites

réf. 04866Paris: Baudouin Frères Éditeurs 1828. Pierre-Jean de Béranger "The Most Popular French Songwriter of All Time" "The First Superstar of French Popular Music" A presentation copy inscribed by Béranger to Rangot accompanied by a one-page autograph letter from Rangot and an original pencil sketch of Béranger by Monnier MONNIER Henri illustrator. Chansons de Pierre Jean de Béranger Anciennes Nouvelles et Inédites avec des vignettes de Devéria et des dessins coloriées d'Henri Monnier. Suivies des Procès Intentés a l'Auteur. Paris: Baudouin Frères Éditeurs 1828. First edition. A presentation copy inscribed by Béranger to Rangot accompanied by a one-page autograph letter from Rangot dated 21 August 1831 and an original pencil sketch of Béranger by Henri Monnier dated 16 August 1831 pasted on the verso of the title-page. Extra-illustrated by the insertion of eighty-six engraved plates on India paper mounted throughout by or after such artists as Bellangé Boilly Boulanger Charlet Devéria Fragonard Grandville Grenier Isabey Johannot Monnier Scheffer Vernet and Delacroix. Two octavo volumes 8 13/16 x 5 1/2 inches; 225 x 140 mm. iv 1-192 iv preface 193-439 1 blank 2 2-7 Biographie du Citoyen Béranger; iv 1-433 1 blank 435-438 pp. With an original pencil sketch by Monnier pasted onto the verso of the first title-page. Illustrated with thirty-three of forty superb hand-colored lithographs by Henri Monnier and numerous vignette wood-engravings by Achille Devéria. Seven plates not included: nos. 21 26 28 31 35 37 and 39 as noted by Carteret III p.272 these particular plates are "very often missing". These seven missing plates are highlighted below within the listing of all 40 plates. Bound ca. 1828 by R. Hering & Muller volume 2 stamp-signed in gilt at foot of spine in half dark blue scored calf spines elaborately tooled and lettered in gilt marbled endpapers edges uncut. A wonderful and important copy. Provenance: With two bookplates of M.A. Tessier Architecte: his engraved ex-libris with oak wreath vol. I verso of front free endpaper and the Tessier family armorial bookplate Semper Progrediens - "Ever Forward" on the front pastedowns of both volumes. "The forty drawings by Henri Monnier lithographed with a pen on stone and colored with a brush are very rare complete. Seven of these lithographs are often missing they are: The Court Dress The Exile The Good Old Man The Marquise of Pretintaille The Flight of Love The Voyager The two Grenadiers." Carteret III p. 72. The signed presentation translated reads: "Nothing more ridiculous for an author than to write something at the head of his works; but an admirable obstinacy obliges me here to obey. - Béranger". An ironic comment on the absurdity of authors inscribing their own books. The Autograph Letter Signed "Rangot" 21 Aug. 1831 translated reads: "Dear and precious friend. the amiable good Béranger will do all you wish and has promised to honor me with a visit or two. I hope that the bonds of friendship will soon bring me the happiness of seeing you. Your poor very devoted but true friend Rangot. Paris 21 August 1831 Grande rue No. 81." With a postscript in Italian: "A thousand thousand respects to your amiable kind and good wife to whom I wish a child who in all things will resemble the father." The signatory to the Als. "Rangot" leaves open the possibility of "Ragot." No individual of that exact name is recorded among Béranger's principal circle of publishers chansonniers or correspondents. It is therefore probable that "Rangot" was a minor literary or personal acquaintance acting as an intermediary arranging introductions to the poet at a time 1831 just after the July Revolution when Béranger's fame and political sensitivity made such mediation necessary. While one could tentatively connect the name with Louis-François Ragot 1782-1857 a Parisian man of letters active in minor journals of the period this identification remains unverified in standard bibliographies Vicaire Escoffier Carteret or collections of Béranger's correspondence. The original Pencil Sketch of Béranger signed and captioned dated 16 August 1831 by Henri Monnier. Reads: "Béranger the poet looking at the statue of Guillaume le Conquérant by the sculptor Archereau at the Champs-Élysées." With annotation: "I made this sketch of Béranger with all the possible politeness and convenience; it was impossible for me to take his face but from the back he gave me a good profile. I placed myself in a corner where I could see him well hidden for a poet who deserves to be observed must be carefully preserved." "Monnier also illustrated Béranger's Chansons creating numerous series over time that reflect his admiration for Béranger's work. His lithographs and early watercolors despite their small size demonstrate his extreme finesse and simplicity. Monnier's bright flat colors encircled by precise pen or pencil strokes bring his subjects to life with values and shadows indicated by more or less dense hatching. Some watercolors from this period appear almost as pen drawings enhanced with color due to the prominence of the pen work." Marie. Pierre-Jean de Béranger 1780-1857 was a prolific French poet and chansonnier songwriter who enjoyed great popularity and influence in France during his lifetime but faded into obscurity in the decades following his death. He has been described as "the most popular French songwriter of all time" and "the first superstar of French popular music". The Chansons were composed with fastidious care and are most notable for their clarity wit and incisiveness however the socialist and revolutionary content of his songs resulted in several brushes with the authorities resulting in his nine month incarceration in La Force Prison.

Thirty-three of forty superb hand colored lithograph plates by Henri Monnier and numerous charming black & white vignettes by Achille Devèria. The color plates have the original tissue guards. The plates that were never included in this copy are numbers: 21 26 28 31 35 37 & 39.These seven plates are highlighted below within the listing of all 40 plates. Contemporary quarter russia over blue boards spines decoratively ruled in gilt two black morocco labels lettered in gilt pink marbled endpapers.

"The forty drawings by Henri Monnier lithographed with a pen on stone and colored with a brush are very rare complete. Seven of these lithographs are often missing they are: The Court Dress The Exile The Good Old Man The Marquise of Pretintaille The Flight of Love The Voyager The two Grenadiers." Carteret III p. 72. KVK locates no complete copies; OCLC locates just one complete copy in libraries and institutions worldwide: Paris-Est Marne-La-Vallee-Bu France. All other copies that are recorded or that we know of have the same thirty-three of forty hand colored plates. It would appear that the seven plates numbers 21 26 28 31 35 37 & 39 were either destroyed soon after printing or purposely left out in all but the very first copies.
