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, toutes coloriées à l'époque et rehaussées à la gomme arabique.
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 (342 x 260 mm). Sans le feuillet de titre. 100 lithographies en noir par Honoré Daumier, toutes coloriées à l'époque et rehaussées à la gomme arabique, sur papier vélin, quelques-unes un peu plus courtes de marges. Toutes les planches sont montées sur onglet (quelques rousseurs et taches, la planche n°40 partiellement détachée, quelques restaurations marginales). Une seconde épreuve, elle aussi coloriée, de la planche n° 70 est montée entre les planches 39 et 40.
Demi-maroquin cerise à coins postérieur (légers frottements aux coins, aux mors et aux coiffes).
Provenance : Isabel García de la Rasilla et Rafael Ruiz Gallardón (ex-libris).

A beautiful set of 100 original Daumier lithographs, all with contemporary hand-colouring heightened with gum arabic, depicting the titular "Robert Macaire", a typical and comical crook.
