    'What One Says And What One thinks' Thirty-Six Fine Hand-Colored Lithograph Plates by Jean-Gabriel Scheffer [SCHEFFER, Jean-Gabriel]. Ce qu'on dit et ce qu'on pense [What one says and what one thinks]. Paris: Gihaut Frères, [1829-30]. Oblong folio (9 9/16 x 12 13/16 inches; 243 x 325 mm.). Hand colored vignette title-page and thirty-six (of sixty) hand-colored lithograph plates numbered consecutively up to 36. Original quarter tan cloth over drab boards, front cover with vignette title onlaid. We have only been able to locate only one other complete example - the Bobins copy (The Exotic and the Beautiful - the World in Color) which has a lithographed title and sixty hand colored plates. OCLC locates just three copies of this very scarce suite of plates - Morgan Library, (NY), USA) Ex. Gordon Ray ; Bibliotheque de Geneve (Switzerland) and Bibliotheque Publique et Univ. Neuchatel (Switzerland). All three of these copies have forty-eight plates (like the present copy), and there is no evidence whatsoever that anything was ever excised from this book. It is possible that the missing numbers (37 through 48 inclusive) were deliberately withdrawn for some reason unknown to us. Providing some circumstantial backing for this theory is that Plate No. 49, the first of the final group, depicts a crowd greeting Louis Philippe with "Vive le Roi!" after the July Revolution in which he rose to power. Four of the early plates were lithographed by Villain. Almost all the plates, including one of the ones credited to Villain, are also marked by Gihaut, unless there are no names at all. Adding to the confusion or complexity of the printing is that Charles Tilt, the London publisher, is credited, along with Gihaut, on plates 31 thru 36. Swiss genre painter and lithographer Jean Gabriel Scheffer (1797-1876), who studied with Regnault and was a friend of Corot, Aligny, and Léopold Robert. His work was shown at the Salon de Paris beginning in 1822; his reputation as a designer of many wryly humorous lithographs, typically signed "J.S.," was firm. The plates: 1. Eh bonjour, qu'elle aimable surprise! / Bete de Lisette! 2. Adieu, soyez donc moins rare / Je te consignerai vieux fou 3. Je veux mourir si l'on donne plus de 30 ans / de mariage 4. Mais que dites vous donc? vous avez une mine d'empereur / Le pauvre cher homme n'ira pas loin 5. On n'est jamais laid avec une figure distinguée / . ! 6. Toujours de l'esprit! / Grand benet! 7.

    First Edition. An Extraordinary Survival of Restoration-Era Paris Thirty-Six Brilliant Hand-Colored Lithographs of Parisian Society by Jean-Gabriel Scheffer [SCHEFFER, Jean-Gabriel]. J.S -, PIGAL, &c., &c. Recueil des Scènes Familiéres, et de Société de Paris. Paris: Chez Martinet, 1824. First and only edition, complete. Folio (13 1/2 x 9 7/8 inches; 343 x 251 mm.). Five parts bound in one volume. Thirty-six superb hand-colored lithographed plates, most signed "J.S.", several with the imprint "Chez Martinet, Lith. de Villain"; all numbered and captioned, each retaining its original tissue guard. Printed on fine wove paper watermarked "J. Whatman 1823." Some occasional light foxing, small paper-fault (1 3/8 x 1/2 inch) on blank lower corner of plate 13. A couple of the pates have small expert marginal repairs. Plates 22 through 36 have the blind stamped monogram "J.S." in the lower blank margin. Contemporary half tan calf over marbled boards, expertly and sympathetically rebacked to style, smooth spine ruled in gilt. An exceptional copy, the hand-coloring remarkably vivid and unfaded throughout, the impressions fresh and strong. A rare survival in wholly uncut state. An extraordinarily scarce collection. The rarity of complete copies is readily explained by the mode of publication. Issued serially in five fragile lithographic fascicles intended for a fashionable contemporary audience rather than permanent preservation, the work seldom appears to have survived beyond the first three parts. The final two sections are of exceptional rarity, suggesting either a smaller original issue or a markedly lower survival rate. The first three parts, comprising twenty-one plates, are the portion almost invariably encountered today and apparently represent the extent of the Yale copy. The Lipperheide copy likewise contained only thirty-four plates. We have located only one institutional copy worldwide, at Yale University, and no complete example has appeared at auction within at least the last thirty-five years. We know of only one other complete copy, in a private collection. The present example therefore appears to be the only other complete copy extant. Not in Colas, Hiler, OCLC, or RLIN. A wonderfully observant visual chronicle of Restoration-era Parisian life, recording with wit, elegance, and understated satire the manners, flirtations, anxieties, vanities, and social rituals of the emerging bourgeois society of the 1820s. The scenes capture intimate interiors, promenades, courtship rituals, domestic tensions, cafés, theaters, fashion, and fleeting social embarrassments with a distinctly modern psychological sensibility. Scheffer's lithographs stand at the intersection of costume study, caricature, and genre observation, anticipating the great Parisian social satirists of the July Monarchy, including Paul Gavarni, Henry Monnier, and ultimately Daumier. Unlike overt caricature, however, these plates derive their charm from restraint: glances, gestures, posture, and social nuance carry the humor. The result is a remarkably sophisticated portrait of fashionable Paris immediately following the Napoleonic era. Jean-Gabriel Scheffer (1797-1876), the Swiss-born painter and lithographer, studied under Regnault and moved within the circle of Corot, Aligny, and Léopold Robert. Beginning in 1822, he regularly exhibited at the Paris Salon while simultaneously producing finely observed lithographic suites for the celebrated publisher Martinet, one of the principal disseminators of hand-colored Parisian costume and society prints during the Restoration period. Scheffer's lithographs-usually signed simply "J.S."-remain among the most refined and elusive examples of early French color-plate social satire. The present work was produced in collaboration with the lithographer Villain and the publisher Chez Martinet, whose productions are now recognized among the most visually appealing survivals of early nineteenth-century Parisian popular imagery. The use of fine Whatman paper, combined with rich contemporary hand-coloring, gives the plates exceptional luminosity.

    First Edition. Grisettes Fifty Superb Hand Colored Lithographs [SCHEFFER, Jean-Gabriel]. J.S -. Recueil de Cinquante Scènes de Grisettes. Paris: Delpech, [1826]. First edition. Folio (13 x 9 1/2 inches; 330 x 241 mm.). Vignette lithograph title-page and fifty hand-colored lithographs. Contemporary quarter black diced paper over marbled boards, spine expertly restored. Front cover with bat-shaped paper label lettered in manuscript "Cinquante Scènes De Grisettes". Some minor spotting and staining throughout but still an excellent example of this notoriously rare book. Housed in a fleece-lined quarter black morocco clamshell case, spine with five raised bands decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments. Exceptionally rare with no copies appearing at auction over the past one hundred years. OCLC/KVK locate just three examples (all complete with 50 color plates) in libraries and institutions worldwide: Morgan Library & Museum (NY, US); Harry Ransom Library, University of Texas, Austin (TX, US); Kunstbiblio Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (Germany). A Grisette (sometimes spelled Grizette) refers to a French working-class woman from the late 17th century and has remained in common use through the Belle Époque era, albeit with some modifications to its meaning. It derives from gris (French for grey), and refers to the cheap grey fabric of the dresses these women originally wore. The 1694 edition of the Dictionnaire de l'Académie française described a grisette as simply "a woman of lowly condition". By the 1835 edition of the dictionary, her status had risen somewhat. She was described as: a young working woman who is coquettish and flirtatious. The contemporary manners and customs of Parisian couples, illustrated with great charm and wry, understated humor by Swiss genre painter and lithographer Jean Gabriel Scheffer (1797-1876), who studied with Regnault and was a friend of Corot, Aligny, and Léopold Robert. His work was shown at the Salon de Paris beginning in 1822; his reputation as a designer of many wryly humorous lithographs, typically signed "J.S.," was firm.

Journal général d'annonces des oeuvres de musique, gravures et lithographies Vol. I (January 1825), 61 (Les Jeux de l'enfance). Charles Aubry (fl. 1817-1837). Charles Aubry was an early lithographic artist who made his reputation with hunting scenes and military subjects. In 1822 he accepted the post of professor of art at l'Ecole Militaire de Saumur. In 1823 he published Album Comique de Pathologie Pittoresque in which he wrote the forty pages of text and together with Antoine Chazal (1793-1854), Alexandre-Marie Colin (1798-1875), Edme-Jean Pigal (1798-1872) & Hippolyte Bellangé (1800-1866) made the illustrations for the twenty highly amusing lithographs. Listings from the records of the Restoration Salon indicates that Charles Aubry contributed one lithograph to the 1824 exhibition. Louis-Léopold Boilly (1761-1845). was the son of a wood-carver. Boilly lived in Douai until he was seventeen years of age, when he went to Arras to receive instruction in trompe-l'oeil painting at Domenica Doncre before moving to Paris in 1785. Between 1789 and 1791 he executed eight small scenes on moralizing and amorous subjects for the Avignon collector Esprit-Claude-François Calvet (1728-1810), including The Visit (1789; Saint-Omer, Musée Hôtel Sandelin). He exhibited at the Salon between 1791 and 1824 and received a gold medal at the Salon in 1804. These paintings thoroughly observed and reflected all aspects of urban life, its costumes and its habits, between the revolutionary period and the Restoration. In 1823, Boilly produced a series of humorous lithographies entitled Grimaces. In 1833, at a time when his popularity was declining, he was admitted to the Légion d'honneur and the Institut de France. SCHEFFER. Recueil de Cinquante Scenes de Grisettes. 28 of 50 plates.

    First Edition. 'What One Says And What One thinks' Sixty Fine Hand-Colored Lithograph Plates by Jean-Gabriel Scheffer [SCHEFFER, Jean-Gabriel]. Ce qu'on dit et ce qu'on pense [What one says and what one thinks]. Paris: Gihaut Frères, 1829. First edition. Complete. Oblong folio (9 3/4 x 13 inches; 248 x 330 mm.). Publisher's original tan pictorial lithograph front wrapper (as title-page) and sixty wonderful hand-colored lithograph plates numbered consecutively. Plates 1-12 are lithographed by Villain, plates 13-60 are lithographed by Gihaut Frères. Plates 13-19 & 37-60 are signed 'Sheffer Gabriel'. A few plates with light, mainly marginal foxing, otherwise near fine. Mid-nineteenth century quarter dark green calf over marbled boards, smooth spine decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt. An excellent example of one of the great scarcities in French caricature. Certainly plate numbers 37-48 are of the utmost rarity. Highly amusing scenes showing classic situations of bourgeois life under the restoration, these superb plates present with great humor the gap between "what is said" and "what we think". This is only the third time that we have ever seen this exceptionally rare series of plates depicting the many manifestations of hypocrisy in French society of the time. That copy, which we sold in 2001 had the same forty-eight of the sixty colored plates. We have only been able to locate two complete copies - the Bobins copy (The Exotic and the Beautiful - the World in Color) which is also complete with the lithographed title and sixty hand colored plates, and the Rene Descamps-Scrive and Paul Gavault copy, which appeared at a French auction in 2013. OCLC locates just three copies of this very scarce suite of plates - Morgan Library, (NY), USA) Ex. Gordon Ray ; Bibliotheque de Geneve (Switzerland) and Bibliotheque Publique et Univ. Neuchatel (Switzerland). All three of these copies have forty-eight plates. Adding to the confusion or complexity of the printing is that Charles Tilt, the London publisher, is credited, along with Gihaut, on plates 31 thru 36. It is possible that the missing numbers (37 through 48 inclusive) were deliberately withdrawn for some reason unknown to us. Providing some circumstantial backing for this theory is that Plate No. 49, the first of the final group, depicts a crowd greeting Louis Philippe with "Vive le Roi!" after the July Revolution in which he rose to power. Swiss genre painter and lithographer Jean Gabriel Scheffer (1797-1876), who studied with Regnault and was a friend of Corot, Aligny, and Léopold Robert. His work was shown at the Salon de Paris beginning in 1822; his reputation as a designer of many wryly humorous lithographs, typically signed "J.S.," was firm. The Plates: 1. Eh bonjour, qu'elle aimable surprise! / Bete de Lisette! 2. Adieu, soyez donc moins rare / Je te consignerai vieux fou 3. Je veux mourir si l'on donne plus de 30 ans / de mariage 4.

    First Edition. "The Lame Devils of Paris" Exceptionally Rare Suite of Six Hand Colored Lithographed Plates [SCHEFFER, Jean-Gabriel]. J.S -. Le Diable Boiteux A Paris, Par Gabriel Scheffer. [Paris: Chez Ostervald ainé, 1830. First edition. Part one only (of two). Oblong quarto (9 1/8 x 12 3/8 inches; 232 x 315 mm.). Publisher's pictorial front wrapper and six (of twelve?) superb hand-colored plates (plain rear wrapper supplied in matching tan paper). An exceptionally fine copy. The wrapper has "1er. Livraison" in manuscript ink at bottom of front wrapper. The Plates: 1. Étudians 2. Grisettes 3. Aristocratie Financiere 4. Éducation 5. Aristocratie Pure 6. Industriels We have only ever seen this suite Le Diable Boiteux a Paris (The Lame Devils of Paris) once before. That copy had eleven of the twelve plates - it was missing "Industriels" which is present in this copy. The hand coloring is bright and fresh and the scenes are quite amusing. The contemporary manners, customs, and costumes of Parisian society in typical scenes, illustrated with great charm and wry,understated humor by Swiss genre painter and lithographer Jean Gabriel Scheffer (1797-1876), who studied with Regnault and was a friend of Corot, Aligny, and Léopold Robert. His work was shown at the Salon de Paris beginning in 1822; his reputation as a designer of many wryly humorous lithographs, typically signed "J.S.," was firm. (See Benezit Vol. 9, p.354). Closely associated with printer-publisher Chez Martinet and lithographer Villain, Scheffer also created Scènes de jeunes gens (1825), Ce qu'on dit et ce qu'on pense (1829), and Petits travers (1830) with them. Extremely rare with no copies located in libraries worldwide (OCLC & KVK).

Ce qu'on dit et ce qu'on pense [What one says and what one thinks]. Paris: Gihaut Frères, 1829. First edition. Complete. Oblong folio (9 3/4 x 13 inches; 248 x 330 mm.). Pictorial hand colored lithograph title-page and sixty wonderful hand-colored lithograph plates numbered consecutively. Plates 1-12 are lithographed by Villain, plates 13-60 are lithographed by Gihaut Frères. Plates 13-19 & 37-60 are signed 'Sheffer Gabriel'. Plate numbers 22, 25, 38, 43, 44, 46, & 51 have marginal repairs of varying degrees, most of them expertly and almost invisibly repaired, some of them touching but none of them defacing the image. Plates 37-60 are mounted on stubs, plates 48, 50 & 60 are 1/4 inch shorter at the lower margin and plate 51 is one inch shorter at the fore-margin. Plate 41 has a small ink splatter on the top blank margin. A few of the plates have some light foxing or toning. Later half red roan over marbled paper boards, smooth spine ruled and lettered in gilt. Aside from the several neat repairs to the plates this is an excellent example of one of the great scarcities in French caricature. Certainly plate numbers 37-48 are of the utmost rarity.

    First Edition. 'What One Says And What One thinks' Forty-Eight Fine Hand-Colored Lithograph Plates by Jean-Gabriel Scheffer [SCHEFFER, Jean-Gabriel]. Ce qu'on dit et ce qu'on pense [What one says and what one thinks]. Paris: Gihaut Frères, [1829-30]. Folio (13 1/2 x 10 1/4 inches; 343 x 260 mm.). Forty-eight (of sixty) hand-colored lithograph plates numbered consecutively up to 36, at which point they jump to 49 and then continue consecutively up to 60, for a total of 48. The last plate with two expert fore-margin repairs, some occasional light marginal foxing otherwise fine. Contemporary half red roan over diced red paper boards, smooth spine ruled, decorated and lettered in gilt. Near fine. This is only the second time that we have ever seen this exceptionally rare series of plates. They depict the many manifestations of hypocrisy in French society of the time. That copy, which we sold in 2001 also had the same forty-eight colored plates. We have only been able to locate only one other complete example - the Bobins copy (The Exotic and the Beautiful - the World in Color) which has a lithographed title and sixty hand colored plates. OCLC locates just three copies of this very scarce suite of plates - Morgan Library, (NY), USA) Ex. Gordon Ray ; Bibliotheque de Geneve (Switzerland) and Bibliotheque Publique et Univ. Neuchatel (Switzerland). All three of these copies have forty-eight plates (like the present copy), and there is no evidence whatsoever that anything was ever excised from this book. It is possible that the missing numbers (37 through 48 inclusive) were deliberately withdrawn for some reason unknown to us. Providing some circumstantial backing for this theory is that Plate No. 49, the first of the final group, depicts a crowd greeting Louis Philippe with "Vive le Roi!" after the July Revolution in which he rose to power. Four of the early plates were lithographed by Villain. Almost all the plates, including one of the ones credited to Villain, are also marked by Gihaut, unless there are no names at all. Adding to the confusion or complexity of the printing is that Charles Tilt, the London publisher, is credited, along with Gihaut, on plates 31 thru 36.

    Exceedingly Scarce Familiar Scenes of Parisian Society Caught in the Wry [SCHEFFER, Jean-Gabriel]. J.S -, PIGAL, &c, &c. Recueil des Scènes Familiéres, et de Société de Paris. Paris: n.p. [Chez Martinet], 1824. First (only) issue, complete in three parts in one original printed wrapper (14 3/8 x 10 7/16 in; 365 x 266 mm) containing a total of twenty-one hand-colored lithographed plates signed: Chez Martinet, Lith. de Villain; numbered and captioned, with original tissue guards, and watermarked "J Whatman 1823." The complete suite of twenty-one plates are all bound into the original printed wrappers of part 2. All edges gilt. Housed in a custom-made quarter black morocco clamshell case. Only one institutional copy worldwide, at Yale. No copies have come to auction within the last thirty-five years. Not in Colas, Lipperheide, or Hiler. An excellent copy, the vivid hand-coloring startlingly bright and fresh, of an extremely scare collection. The contemporary manners, customs, and costumes of Parisian society in typical scenes, illustrated with great charm and wry,understated humor by Swiss genre painter and lithographer Jean Gabriel Scheffer (1797-1876), who studied with Regnault and was a friend of Corot, Aligny, and Léopold Robert. His work was shown at the Salon de Paris beginning in 1822; his reputation as a designer of many wryly humorous lithographs, typically signed "J.S.," was firm. (See Benezit Vol. 9, p.354). Closely associated with printer-publisher Chez Martinet and lithographer Villain, Scheffer also created Scènes de jeunes gens (1825), Ce qu'on dit et ce qu'on pense (1829), and Petits travers (1830) with them.
