Half-titles with printer's credit verso, elaborate engraved pictorial titles with additional colouring by hand and printed titles to each vol., printed text and 50 engraved plates all with additional colour by hand; the two parts of the supplement 'Botanique et Horticulture des Dames' with introduction by Karr and text by 'le Comte Foelix' with the two additional uncoloured engraved plates are also present. Full contemporary scarlet morocco by Corfmat with his signature to spine, boards with gilt rules to enclose large central stamp with ornate decorative motif composed of flowers, urns, trellises and so on surmounted by a bird eating from an urn, banded spine tooled in gilt and with gilt title in five compartments, turn-ins with elaborate decor, edges ruled in gilt, cream silk moiré doublures and matching endpapers, a.e.g. The first issue of the first edition of Grandville's 'Les Fleurs Animées' in a splendid contemporary binding by Corfmat. 'After 'Un Autre Monde' the fifty-two coloured engravings of 'Les Fleurs Animées' are the chief example of Grandville's efforts to penetrate to the meaning of objects like an 'intellectual miner' . Though the images in the book are of Grandville's time, his manner of proceeding is that of an artist of the modern movement, exploring the same subject through a sequence of slight but significant variations . A little world is created, governed by its own laws . full of significance for Grandville and hence . the reader . '. (Gordon Ray). The first issue of 'Les Fleurs Animées' is indicated by continuous pagination throughout the two volumes and is characterised too by the vivid colouring by hand of the illustrations. The present copy is bound by Corfmat (his signature is stamped to the spine), a contemporary of Grandville's active between 1825 and 1860 who produced a number of bindings for the Queen of France, Marie-Amélie, wife of Louis-Philippe, and others of the House of Orléans. A pencil note to the initial blank suggests that on the basis of Corfmat's work for Queen Marie-Amélie this copy may be that of the Queen herself although there is no other evidence for the assertion. [SR / BF 93 / 94 / 95; Ray 198; Rebeyrat 287; Carteret 286; see Sophie Malavieille's 'Reliures et Cartonnages d'Editeur en France au XIXe Siècle'].…

Half-title in red with pseudo-privilège verso (also in red), leaf with frontispiece verso, printed title in red and printed text illustrated with 36 hors-texte wood-engraved plates all with additional colouring by hand and 146 wood-engravings in the text, final two leaves with 'Table', 'Explication' and 'Errata' verso. Original publisher's midnight blue percaline with elaborate polychromatic decoration, front board with large central pictorial vignette reproducing the frontispiece with additional colour in red, white, green and blue (signed Liebherre), beneath an additional title vignette heightened in blue, gilt pictorial vignette to rear board, titles and elaborate gilt decoration heightened with colour to spine, additional decoration in blind, yellow glazed endpapers, a.e.g. An excellent copy of Grandville's finest book and magnum opus, an extraordinary imaginative tour de force in the original publisher's polychromatic binding. 'Un nouveau monde est né; que Grandville soit loué.' (Max Ernst). Grandville's most remarkable book, an expansive flight of inspirational fantasy, and a remarkable precursor. It is clear that the influence of this work extends onward in the nineteenth and well into the twentieth centuries and beyond. A remarkable work of sui generis imaginative verve, Grandville produced the illustration which was then 'illustrated' with a commissioned text. The tale of three demi-gods, 'Dr. Puff', 'Dr. Krackq', and 'Dr. Hahblle', their created worlds and travels. The work, a descendant of the works of Swift and Goya, inspired, in passing, Lewis Carroll ('La Battaille des Cartes'), Max Ernst, the Surrealists in general as well as later caricaturists such as Steadman and Scarfe. 'In this remarkable book, of the boldest possible originality, Grandville dared to reveal his dream to the public.' (Ray). The full title - which gives a good indication of the enormously broad scope of the work - reads as follows: 'Un Autre Monde: Transformations, visions, incarnations, ascensions, locomotions, explorations, pérégrinations, excursions, stations, cosmogonies, fantasmagories, rêveries, folâtreries, facéties, lubies, métamorphoses, zoomorphoses, lithomorphoses, métempsycoses, apothéoses et autre choses.' [Ray 196; SR / BF 76 / 77; Carteret III, 285; Rebeyrat 287].…

Add to basketPoster. (448 x 277 mm). Single sheet of unwatermarked cream wove paper with printed text and hand-coloured illustration recto only, traces of folds, printer's credit at lower right. The original publicity poster with a hand-coloured vignette for Grandville's 'Les Fleurs Animées'. A very good example of this very scarce poster announcing the forthcoming publication of Grandville's remarkable anthropomorphic series 'Les Fleurs Animées'. As with many of Grandville's illustrated books, 'Les Fleurs Animées' was published as a serial with each 'livraison' available for 50 centimes 'coloriée'. The vignette for the poster (within a frame 130 x 110 mm) corresponds to Grandville's 'Tulipe', the hand-coloured illustration for 'La Sultane Tulipia' in volume I of the book; for the poster, the earlier version, the vignette, also coloured by hand, is smaller and reversed to the book version, but with subtle differences to the later version. The poster illustration is credited in the image to Grandville and to 'PORRET. BLANADET.' (who did also the pictorial title for volume 1) while the book version is credited to Grandville and to Charles Geoffroy. The poster, printed in Paris by Imprimerie Lacour et Cie. in rue St-Hyacinthe-St-Michel, who also printed the livraisons, provides all detail: 'UN BEAU VOLUME / grand in-8º. / PUBLIÉ PAR / LIVRAISONS COLORIÉES / à 30 centimes. / L'OUVRAGE COMPLET / formera 60 à 70 livraisons / IL PARAIT / UNE OU DEUX LIVRAISONS PAR SEMAINE.' The poster itself is announced in the Bibliographie de la France ou Journal Général de l'Imprimerie et de la Librairie &c.' for 1846 as: 'Les Fleurs animées, par J. J. Grandville, affiche: dessin destiné à être affiché dans l'intérieur des établissements de librairie pour annoncer la publication d'un ouvrage ayant le même titre.' Antoine-Auguste Renouard's collection of 'affiches de libraire' featured a poster for 'Les Fleurs Animées' but we have been unable to ascertain whether it was this poster. Another poster for 'Les Fleurs Animées' was certainly issued, likely at a later date as it announces '100 livraisons' each priced '25 centimes'.…

Original publisher's green morocco-backed green percaline, the front board with large central pictorial vignette reproducing the frontispiece beneath the pictorial title vignette, rear board with gilt vignette from 'Petites Misères de la Vie Humaine', banded green morocco spine with elaborate gilt tooling and titles in five compartments, marbled endpapers, green silk placemarker, t.e.g. [PROVENANCE: With the contemporary printed bookplate in red and black of 'L[ouis]. C[harles]. A[dolphe]. Chicora' (1806 - 1883) with the text 'Conseiller au conseil des mines' to front pastedown]. Grandville's finest book and magnum opus, an extraordinary imaginative tour de force in a highly unusual variant of the publisher's binding. 'Un nouveau monde est né; que Grandville soit loué.' (Max Ernst). Grandville's most remarkable book, an expansive flight of inspirational fantasy, and a remarkable precursor. It is clear that the influence of this work extends onward in the nineteenth and well into the twentieth centuries and beyond. A remarkable work of sui generis imaginative verve, Grandville produced the illustration which was then 'illustrated' with a commissioned text. The tale of three demi-gods, 'Dr. Puff', 'Dr. Krackq', and 'Dr. Hahblle', their created worlds and travels. The work, a descendant of the works of Swift and Goya, inspired, in passing, Lewis Carroll ('La Battaille des Cartes'), Max Ernst, the Surrealists in general as well as later caricaturists such as Steadman and Scarfe. The binding for the present copy, not cited by Carteret is likely unique. As for the very few other known copies in variant bindings, the front board reproduces the frontispiece showing 'la Charge et la Fantaisie passant de l'ancien monde à l'autre' (signed by Liebherre) beneath another tool with the title on a cloth or scarf held by a female figure in water flanked by a mermaid on a cushion and a swimming woman partially eclipsing a sun. The rear board, most usually blank or displaying the same stamp, here features another, taken from the 'Petites Misères de la Vie Humaine'. 'In this remarkable book, of the boldest possible originality, Grandville dared to reveal his dream to the public.' (Ray). The full title - which gives a good indication of the enormously broad scope of the work - reads as follows: 'Un Autre Monde: Transformations, visions, incarnations, ascensions, locomotions, explorations, pérégrinations, excursions, stations, cosmogonies, fantasmagories, rêveries, folâtreries, facéties, lubies, métamorphoses, zoomorphoses, lithomorphoses, métempsycoses, apothéoses et autre choses.'

Sixty-seven of these plates - three are added from other series by Grandville - originally appeared in album form in 1829 and this version, published 17 years after Grandville's death, is both the first edition in octavo and the first to be accompanied with text. The plates were engraved on wood by Desperet (for the first, oblong folio edition, the plates were lithographs with additional colouring by hand) and then 'illustrated' with a satirical text inspired by Grandville's plate by one of a number of authors. The pantheon of 'illustrators' were: Albéric Second, Louis Lurine, Clément Caraguel, Taxile Delord, H. de Beaulieu, Louis Huart, Charles Monselet and Julien Lemer; Charles Blanc's biographical notice is accompanied by a bibliography of Grandville's illustrated books. ''Les Métamorphoses du Jour' ont été l'idée mère de toutes les créations humano-bestiales, dont on a tant abusé depuis, et resteront incontestablement comme le chef-d'oeuvre de Grandville . Nous a offrons au public une oeuvre qui entre pour la première fois dans le domaine de la librairie, une oeuvre inconnue de la génération nouvelle . '. (From the original prospectus for hte work).

Add to basket2 vols. Large 8vo. (270 x 194 mm). pp. (iv), 386, (i), (vi); 390, (vi). Each vol. with half-title, title and frontispiece and a total of 199 hors-texte monochrome plates as well as numerous monochrome vignettes, all engraved by Brevière after Grandville. Original publisher's maroon morocco, boards ruled in blind with matching gilt vignettes to front and rear boards and spines, titles gilt to spines, cream moiré endpapers, two original part wrappers retained, a.e.g. The first edition of Grandville's anthropomorphic masterpiece in the deluxe publisher's binding. This exceptional copy, bound in full maroon morocco, features all of the plates in the first issue (as per Carteret) and the first issue of the binding incorporating the special tools after Grandville's designs but without the additional decorative tools to the corners of the central panels of the front boards. The legend 'Badigeonographie générale des murailles de la France et de l'étranger' to the frontispiece, later removed by the censor, is present and four of the original yellow paper part wrappers (the two volumes were issued in 100 parts) are retained. Grandville's inspirational illustrations were engraved on wood by Brévière, coted by Ray as 'the one craftsman whose renderings of his work Grandville refused to criticize'. The twenty-nine tales by various authors of the Scènes de la Vie Privée et Publique des Animaux are accompanied by J. J. Grandville's wonderful anthropomorphic illustrations. The tales themselves are by the foremost authors of the day, with four by Honoré de Balzac (Peines de Coeur d'une Chatte Anglaise, Guide-Ane à l'Usage des Animaux qui Veulent Parvenir aux Honneurs, Voyage d'un Lion d'Afrique à Paris and Les Amours de Deux Bêtes), as well as tales by George Sand (Voyage d'un Moineau à Paris), Paul Bernard (Les Animaux Médecins), Charles Nodier, Jules Janin, Paul de Musset and so on. The majority of the stories and text is by P.-J. Stahl, who wrote the Preface to the first volume. In contrast to all of the other plates, the final plate in volume two depicts human figures - the authors themselves - as animals in the Jardin-des-Plantes in Paris, regarded by spectating animals, while being sketched by Grandville himself. 'Through Grandville's animals, Hetzel and his colleagues [the authors] offered a witty and telling commentary on contemporary politics and personalities. Bouchot described the result as the best satire on French manners during the middle of the century . Returning to the 'têtes-de-bêtes' of 'Les métamorphoses du jour', Grandville provided 323 illustrations, about two-thirds of which are full-page plates . '. (Ray). 'Il a été exécuté pour les SCÈNES DES ANIMAUX des reliures et cartonnages artistiques qui sont parmi les plus beaux dans ce genre.' (Carteret). [Ray 194; SR / BF 63 / 64 / 65; Carteret III, 552 - 559; Rebeyrat 289 / 190].…
