DAUMIER, Honoré (1808-1979)
Les Gens de justice. [Paris :] Aubert, 1845-1848.
Rare suite complète de 39 lithographies originales d’Honoré Daumier. La plupart d’entre elles ont été publiées dans Le Charivari, entre le 21 mars 1845 et le 31 octobre 1848. Arsène Alexandre décrit cette série en ces termes : « Jamais, depuis Rabelais, la gent chicanière n’a été plus serrée de près, plus fouillée, plus implacablement disséquée dans ses trucs, dans ses manies, dans ses audaces, dans ses roueries. Ces robes noires, ces faces rasées, le froid humide de la salle des Pas-Perdus, l’atmosphère surchauffée des salles d’audience, tout cela a positivement grisé Daumier. C’est avec une fougue rancunière qu’il a croqué ces innombrables types d’avocats emballés, de juges assoupis, moqueurs ou inexorables, de plaideurs exaspérés. »
Le présent ensemble provient de la bibliothèque d’Heinrich Neuerburg (1883-1956), de Cologne, industriel et collectionneur d’estampes des XIXe et XXe siècles, notamment d’artistes français comme Manet, Bonnard et Denis, qui aurait commencé sa collection de gravures en 1945, sur le conseil d'Hermann Schnitzler, du musée Schnütgen.
Hazard et Delteil, 1848-1886.

39 lithographies originales d’Honoré Daumier (environ 335 x 250 mm), chaque planche sous passepartout, montée sur un grand feuillet épais par des morceaux d’adhésif en partie supérieure verso (2 planches légèrement brunies).
