GRANDVILLE, Jean Ignace Isidore, dit Jean-Jacques (1803-1847)
Scènes de la vie privée et publique des animaux. Paris : J. Hetzel et Paulin - J. Hetzel, 1842.

Édition originale, premier tirage, de cette fresque satirique de l'époque illustrée par Grandville. Nombre d'auteurs célèbres écrivent quelques feuillets pour cette édition, dont Balzac, George Sand, Charles Nodier ou Alfred de Musset qui fournissent respectivement les textes suivants : Peines de coeur d'une chatte anglaise, Voyage d'un moineau de Paris, Tablettes de la girafe, Histoire d'un merle blanc. Le caricaturiste Grandville illustre l'ouvrage de nombreuses gravures d'animaux anthropomorphes, dans des situations tantôt bizarres, cocasses ou inquiétantes. Cet exemplaire présente toutes les caractéristiques du premier tirage mentionnées par Carteret pour le texte et les gravures (sauf les fautes aux pages 4 et 15, dont les remaniements ont dû être faits "immédiatement sous presse" au tome I, et pour la gravure page 48 dont la légende est sur une seule ligne au tome II), ainsi que pour le papier (première moitié du t. I imprimée sur papier crème, seconde moitié sur papier blanc). Carteret, III, pp. 552-559 (annonce par erreur 105 pl. au tome II).

In-4 (261 x 182 mm). Illustré de 2 frontispices (un en tête de chaque volume), 96 planches (tome I) et 103 planches (tome II) soit au total 109 planches d'après Grandville, gravées par Brévière, Best, Leloire, Rouget et d'autres, nombreuses gravures dans le texte. Reliure de l'époque : demi-chagrin chocolat, dos à nerfs titré or, caissons ornés de filets et fleurons dorés. (déchirures aux pp. 165 du t. I et 185, 187 du t. II, reliure frottée, coiffes abimées, mors fendu en partie inférieure du second plat du t. I, couvertures illustrées non conservées)

First edition, first issue, of these satirical short stories written by various writers including Balzac and George Sand, illustrated with 2 frontispieces and 199 plates of anthropomorphic animals after French caricaturist Grandville.
