Description:
Paris: Imp. Lemercier [for:] Librairie Nouvelle, [nd. but ca. 1850s].. 19 plates and 18 plates. Loose sheets. Images, including captions, ca. 27 x 18.5 cm. Margins vary. Some creasing to the larger margins, two plates exhibit foxing and a couple more show some slight marginal tanning, otherwise very good or better. Decent representation of two of the sub- elements of Gavarni's extended work, which when completed, included 329 lithographic plates. The first element lacks plate 1 of the twenty published, and the second lacks plates 4 and 5 of twenty published (duplicates of 2 and 7 are also present, but not included in the count above). Ray treats the series at some length, describing Thomas Virelogue as "one of Gavarni's most brilliant inspirations," and the work as a whole as "a neglected masterpiece of nineteenth-century French graphic art." RAY (ART OF THE FRENCH ILLUSTRATED BOOK) 157.

ORIGINAL ETCHING WITH AQUATINT [THE TOWN MOUSE AND THE COUNTRY MOUSE]
by Charara, Adnan
- Used
[ N.p.: The Artist, 1993. Aquatint etching on Somerset England handmade paper. "Charara Studio" embossed on lower left of paper. Hand-colored in jewel tones. Image 3 3/4" x 5 3/4", overall size 11 1/4" x 14 3/4". Signed in plate, and in pencil in lower right margin, numbered at lower left. Archivally mounted, with descriptive text attached to verso of mat. No. 7 from an edition limited to 10, published as part of the suite, VISUAL METAPHORS. The etching features the town mouse proffering the bounty of luxe living to a laid-back country mouse of modest means, the moral here is "A humble life of peace and quiet is better than a splendid one with danger and risk." Adnan Charara is a Detroit- based Lebanese-American, born in Lebanon, but principally raised in Sierra Leone, West Africa. This series of etchings evoke an Aesop fable, transmogrified onto a human plane yet maintaining the essence of the fable. As a child, Adnan Charara was taught fables in a Lebanese boarding school a half hour everyday. He returned to these stories, with their moral lessons and pieces of advice, as a vehicle to explore his curiosity about the human personality.
