Towards the end there is an interesting and very early article on lithography, mentioning the experiments of Lasteyrie and Engelmann and wholeheartedly endorsing the new technique as an art form worthy of the most serious attention (pp.415-422). Miel (1775-1842), who wrote several works on art history and a study of Beethoven’s symphonies, adds that he had wanted to illustrate this book by lithography but problems made this unfeasible. There are also essays on enamels, mosaics, Gobelin tapestries, medal engravings, and music. Not in the standard lithography references.

Later full cloth, morocco label, old tape repair to bottom margin of title, a few inconsequential stains in the margins of a few plates, but overall a very good copy with the plates fresh & clean. $950.

¶ Henri Monnier (1799-1877), one of the leading caricaturists of the 19th century, studied under Girodet and Gros and learned lithography early on, publishing his first set of lithographs in 1825. He spent the years 1825 to 1827 in London working with Eugène Lami, and upon his return to Paris, "embarked on a series of albums in which he recorded the manners and humors of the city with unprecedented profusion. Between 1826 and 1830 he satisfied the insatiable demand for his designs with almost 500 lithographs, neary all of which were drawn with a pen and colored by hand" (Ray, vol. I, p.199). Among these is the series Les Grisettes, a look at the young working women of Paris known as "grisettes," a class virtually discovered by Monnier, and their relations with young men. In all, Monnier published three separate albums with the title Les Grisettes; two appeared in 1827, and this, the final suite, appeared in 1829. Colas 2131. Lipperhede 3661. Hiler, p.627.

¶ First Edition. Thomas Stothard, R.A. (1755-1834), English book illustrator & painter, drew designs for almost the whole range of English literature, notably Shakespeare, Fielding, Smollett, Sterne, & Milton. He was one of the early illustrators of Scott & Byron and his friend William Blake engraved many of his designs. Stothard was also friends with Flaxman, whose neo-classical influuence can be seen in some of his work. mWhile not highly regarded as a painter in his lifetime, Stothard achieved a position second to none as a book illustrator. Through a study of nature & the older artists he achieved a superb style of his own, excelling in pathos & the rendering of womanly grace. This title is not mentioned in the list of Stothard’s works books in Hammelmann, "Book Illustrators in Eighteenth Century England." Jaggard p.287.

¶ Charles-Joseph Traviès (1804-1859), born in Switzerland where he studied lithography, came to Paris as a young man and began his career as a caricaturist with astonishing early success. His contempt for liars and hypocrites fills his work with power and force. The twenty lithographs in this set are from several of the artist’s best series. A particularly biting commentary on critics and censors from the series, Paraphrases de la Bruyère, shows the destruction of a larger-than-life size book by vicious men with saws, knives, erasers, scissors and other damaging tools. Another image, a satire of connoisseurs, shows men engaged in throwing, breaking and otherwise destroying works of art. An image from Les génies méconnus portrays several artists in a studio as they smoke tobacco, and in one instance perhaps, hashisch.
