BALZAC, [Honoré] De [1799-1850] Et Al.
Le Diable À Paris - Paris Et Les Parisiens - Moeurs Et Coutumes, Caractères Et Portraits Des Habitants De Paris, Tableau Complet De Leur Vie Privée, Publique, Politique, Artistique, Littéraire, Industrielle, Etc., Etc..précédé d'une Histoire De Paris Par Théophile Lavallée.
Paris: J.Hetzel, 1845-46..
2 Volumes. large 8vo. pp. 2 p.l., xxxii, 380; 2 p.l., lxxx, 364. with half-titles. 212 wood-engraved plates & numerous wood-engraved text illus. & vignettes. contemporary quarter chagrin, all edges gilt (some fading to upper portion of covers). First Edition. A varied collection of texts and stories by writers such as Balzac, Musset, George Sand, Hetzel, and others, together with sections providing historical, geographical, and statistical information, all profusely illustrated with wood-engraved illustrations by Gavarni, Bertall, Champin, Bertrand, and Daubigny. Of the two hundred and twelve plates, four are after Bertall, while all of the others are after designs by Gavarni. "The major attraction.resides in Gavarni's plates, which are of even greater interest than the 320 wood engravings of his Oeuvres choisies. The engraving is superior for the most part, and they are new conceptions, not versions of his lithographs. He limits himself almost entirely to single figures or pairs, evoked with his usual concentration and pyschological subtlety.As usual he arranged [his subjects] in series, some of which.are largely unprecedented in his previous repertory. He invaded Daumier's world with success in the fifteen plates of "Bourgeois.". (Ray) The unifying theme for the book is the Devil's visitation of Paris. Bertall in particular "outdid himself in the variety and wit with which he commented on instances of diabolical intervention, beginning with his opening conception of the hellish boredom from which the Devil was escaping. His designs make Le diable à Paris the culmination of the Romantic tradition of diablerie, which began with the lithographic albums of the 1820s. It is also the last of the big books of collaborative illustration." (Ibid.) Carteret 203-06. Ray, The Art of the French Book 1700 to 1914, 236 (citing incorrect number of plates). Vicaire III 241-43.
