GRANDVILLE, Jean-Jacques (1803-1847).

Carte vivante du restaurateur. Sans lieu [Paris] : Aubert, sans date [1831-1832].

Très rare suite complète, en premier tirage, des 12 lithographies gravées par Pannetier d'après des compositions de Grandville, et aquarellées et gommées à l'époque.



La France louis-philipparde à table, sous les traits mordants du fameux Grandville, où les scènes de mœurs se déroulent aussi bien dans des gargotes qu'en cabinets particuliers. Le caricaturiste républicain joue non seulement sur le double sens du mot Restauration, mais il postule que l'« on est ce que l'on mange », assimilant les convives aux mets qu'ils dégustent. Si bien que ces tableautins doivent s'entendre "cum grano salis", pimentés en outre de sous-entendus poivrés et de brocards politiques : tels, ce Cornichon pour deux (le mari entre sa femme et l'amant) ou Gras double et poulette (un curé et sa servante). Oberlé Fastes, 510 ; Renonciat, La Vie et l'œuvre de J.J. Grandville, p. 290.



Album in-4 (346 x 262 mm). Illustré de 12 planches lithographiées par Pannetier d’après Grandville, aquarellées et gommées à l'époque, montées sur onglets (pl. 1 : piqûres marginales ; pl. 4 : mouillure angulaire et taches ; pl. 5 et 12 : petites taches). Reliure de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle : demi-maroquin brun à coins, plats de percaline aubergine, pièce de titre de maroquin avec titre doré sur le premier plat, dos lisse (menus frottements aux coiffes et coins).



Rare complete set of 12 hand-coloured lithographs after Grandville.
