DAUMIER, Honoré (1808-1879) et Charles PHILIPON (1800-1862)
Les Robert Macaires, galerie morale des voleurs, spéculateurs, dupeurs, tireurs, enfonceurs et blagueurs divers que nous rencontrons dans Paris. Paris : Aubert, [1836-1838].
Superbe série de 100 lithographies d'Honoré Daumier, en demi-reliure de l'époque.
Robert Macaire est d'abord un personnage de théâtre, créé par le dramaturge Antier. Mais c'est bien l'interprétation de Frédérick Lemaître qui tourne un personnage sombre et verbeux en dérision, le rendant bouffon et grotesque.
Le texte fut modifié pour tenir compte de cette relecture du personnage et le succès public inattendu de la pièce permit au personnage de devenir un véritable archétype de l'escroc à la petite semaine - "le" Robert Macaire", ou même, comme ici, "les" Robert Macaire, comme autant de situations dont l'affairiste éponyme cherche à tirer profit.
Les planches de Daumier, sur un texte de Philipon, avaient été publiées dans Le Charivari entre le 20 août 1836 et 25 novembre 1838. Hazard et Delteil, n°989-1090.

In-folio (352 x 276 mm). Titre imprimé sur papier rose, 100 lithographies en noir par Honoré Daumier, sur papier vélin ou vergé.
Demi-maroquin rouge de l’époque (coins enfoncés).
Provenance : Sam Josefowitz, Pully – puis par descendance aux propriétaires actuels

A beautiful set of 100 original Daumier lithographs, in contemporary half-binding, depicting the titular "Robert Macaire", a typical and comical crook.
