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.

Eau-forte originale; aquatinte; une des 20 de l'album "Du Ier au XXe. Les arrondissements de Paris", 1903. Album tiré à 200 exemplaires dont 175 sur papier crème de Hollande, comme ici. Ces eaux-fortes sont signées dans les plaques, et on ne les trouvent quasiment jamais signées à la main. -1/175 sur Hollande. 184 x 148mm (image); avec les marges: 217 x 165mm. Monté sur le support anthracite d'origine. Comme publié; en très bon état. - Laran 196. - A great print; likely the best from the album, and certainly a major print within his entire engraved work (436 prints). Apart that this print shows very well the artist's skills as an etcher, there's something else and unusual. Normally the weather does not play an important role in Béjot's etchings, mostly urban landscapes/scenes, while here the weather is very much pronounced. Therefore the print can be seen as a salute/tribute to a colleague printmaker, Félix Buhot, a friend, somewhat older than Béjot, who had died April 1898, and who was… Read More

Leipzig: F. E. Wachsmuth, 1930. No Binding. Very Good. A striking colour lithograph picturing plantation workers picking cotton by the banks of the Mississippi. Intended for educational use in schools, circa 1930. Measures 26 x 34.5 inches. With two hanging holes and some staining and grubbiness to the margins with a couple of ink marks to the picture. The image has retained its colour well, nonetheless, and this is a striking piece which will frame well.
