    Folio. (405 x 292 mm). Half-title, title, list of plates with descriptive text (pp. 24) and 115 hand coloured engraved plates by Gatine and Schencker after designs by Carle Vernet, Bosio, Lante, Dutailly and others. A fine copy with full margins, with a sheet size measuring 392 x 275 mm (the copy cited by Carteret measures only 360 x 265 mm). Contemporary red calf-backed marbled boards, title gilt with elaborate gilt tooling to spine. One of the scarcest fashion and caricature suites with superb coloured plates. As well as caricaturing the excesses of contemporary fashion and society, the finely executed plates depict various public entertainers including the rope-dancing troupes of Forioso and Ravel, a magic lantern, two performing dog acts, two of Indian jugglers, two of acrobats, and four different aerial runways. 'Cet admirable recueil, un des plus beaux de son époque, est d'une grande rareté à toutes marges. On le rencontre souvent rogné en reliure du temps. Les principaux artistes qui y ont collaboré sont Carle Vernet, Lanté, Bosio, etc.; les compositions ont été gravées par Gatine et Schenker.' (Carteret). In this copy, plate 39 is in the first (1817) issue with the title: 'Les Titus et les Cache-Folies'. [Colas 2240; Carteret III, 99].

    The Rarely Seen Parisian Scene The Rise of the Post-Revolution French Middle Class Its Customs, Costumes, and Leisure Activities [BON GENRE, LE]. Observations sur les Modes et les Usages de Paris, pour Servir d'Explication aux 115 Caricatures Publiées Sous le Titre De Bon Genre, Depuis le Commencement du Dix-Neuvième Siècle. Paris: Chez L'Éditeur [Pierre de la Mésangère], 1827. Third edition, with eleven additional plates not found in the first edition of 1817. Large folio (14 7/8 x 10 7/8 in; 378 x 277 mm.). [4], 24 pp. of descriptive text, 115 hand-colored plates. Engraved by Georges-Jacques Gatine. Printed by Vassal et Essling. With a duplicate of plate no. 16 loosely inserted. Some light foxing which is mainly confined to the blank margins. Contemporary half crimson straight-grain morocco over marbled boards, smooth spine elaborately tooled and lettered in gilt. Some light wear to top and bottom of spine. An excellent example of one of the rarest suites of fashion and caricature. OCLC/KVK note only four copies of this edition in library holdings worldwide, no copies of the first edition and only two copies of the 1822 edition. One of the rarest suites of fashion and caricature, featuring superbly colored plates. In addition to satirizing the extravagances of contemporary fashion and society, the finely rendered illustrations portray a range of public entertainers-including the rope-dancing troupes of Forioso and Ravel, a magic lantern show, two performing dog acts, Indian jugglers, acrobats, and four distinct aerial runways. Le Bon Genre was one of the earliest series of prints to record the social trends and leisure activities of contemporary Parisians. It is the most important fashion portfolio of its time documenting, through its caricatures, the rise of the modern city of Paris and the emerging middle-class bourgeois, its fashions, recreations and dating customs. It also has fun at visitors' expense, particularly the English, whose customs and fashions the French found incomprehensible and unfashionable; the years of hostility between France and England did nothing to improve relations and the French lost few opportunities to ridicule the British. Le Bon Genre's popularity influenced most of the later fashion illustrators and journals, as well as the satirical albums so typical of mid-19th century France, and remains a key record of French social history. Overall, Le Bon Genre bears witness to the colorful post-Revolution period of Parisian society as it evolves into the early Republican era. Of particular interest is the descriptive text preceding the plates that details the content of each caricature. One is astonished and charmed by images of a trio enjoying a magic lantern show (#31); three women rapturously eating sorbets (#4); a trained and costumed dog act (#35); a circus balancing act (#91); a man who eats anything (#93); a huge amusement park slide (#97); and so many more enchanting engravings delicately and vividly hand-colored. "Le Bon Genre.was first published in 1817 and went through several editions. This is a record of English and French fashions since the beginning of the nineteenth century; the English fashions are more in the nature of caricatures, to show how badly Englishwomen dress as compared with the Parisiennes" (Vyvyan Holland, Hand Coloured Fashion Plates 1770 to 1899, p. 51). "The 'Bon Genre's' first edition, 104 plates, appeared in 1817. The 1822 edition included eleven additional plates; a third edition was published in 1827. Its illustrations are lively and witty statements of the life of Paris since the beginning of XIXc., with a text of explanatory paragraphs, rather than fashion plates" (Millia Davenport, The Book of Costume, II, p. 814). "Georges-Jacques Gatine was the leading costume engraver of his time. For many years he supplied plates for the Journal des dames. He engraved the 115 designs which make up Le bon genre , a lively mélange caricaturing people and scenes of contemporary interest" (Ray, The Art of the French Illustrated Book, p. 141). Le Bon Genre's publisher and editor, Pierre Joseph Antoine Le Bouc of Mésangère (1761-1830), better known by the name of Le Mésangère, was a fascinating character whose eclectic career covered a very wide period, from the French Revolution (1789) up to the Second Restoration (1815 -1830). First an eccleslastlc, philosopher and writer, then fashion journalist, he was, for more than thirty years, editor-in-chief of Le Journal des Dames, a periodical that had an enormous influence upon contemporary French standards of elegance and taste. Born in Anjou, 1761 to a middle-class family, Mésangère entered the order Congregation of the Brothers in 1784, and held the philosophie belles lettres Chair at the College de la Fleche. In hiding during the Terror (1793-1794), after Robesplerre's death (July 28, 1794) he began to be known as a writer for Parisian literary journals. He wrote Le Voyageur a Paris ou Tableau pittoresque et moral de cette capitale (1797) a book that gained a certain notoriety. In 1799 he became editor of Le Journal des Dames, a magazine founded two years earlier. It reigned supreme amongst the women's magazines of the epoch. With engraver Gatine executing the designs, Mésangère was the pre-eminent writer, editor, and publisher of works devoted to French women's fashion of his era. The contributing artists to Le Bon Genre included George Dutailly, François Joseph Bosio, Louis Marie Lante, Horace Vernet, and others, but it is Mésangère, the editor and publisher who guided them, and Gatine the engraver, who executed their designs, who were and remain the stars here.
