Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. An album of 31 finely finished original pencil sketches based upon Jean Jacque Grandville Metamorphoses Du Jour. Attributed to Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard better known as Jean-Jacque Grandville. FULL DESCRIPTION: The album is titled 'An Album of Narrative Drawings with Grandville on the spine. Quarto Size Album of 31 leaves + several blanks at the end bound in fine modern full vellum. Drawings captioned in neat ink faded to brown in French. Paper dated to mid 19th cent or earlier with very occasional fox marks. CONDITION: Near Fine state throughout with only very minor foxing. MORE PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. . FURTHER COMMENTS The origin of this beautifully bound collection is unknown however it comprises finely finished pencil renditions of illustrations relate to those in Metamorphoses du Jour however with Grandville's characteristic animal heads replaced with conventional human ones - these perhaps early versions from the 1820's. has taken considerably pains to detail faces and expressions as well as figures, postures and details leaving background imagery somewhat sketchy. The purpose is obscure but knowing that Grandville himself was interested in Transformation of Human Physiognomy into animal Physiognomy it might be surmised that these drawings could pre-date the animal heads of the Metamorphoses and be by Grandville himself. The style of drawing however is rather more German than French though it has a certain freedom which suggests great quality and skill. They do not suggest direct copies from the published lithographs with human heads super imposed. We are unable to ascertain if these are preliminary sketches or not but they are certainly of the period and differ in detail if not composition from the published versions and are deserving of much further research. Compare the published lithograph 'Moniseur le Baron on vous demande?' photographed below to our original drawing. Jean Ignace Jacque Grandville 1803 to 1847 Born in France. moved to Paris at the age of 21 where his career properly begun as an Artist / Caricaturist. In the 1830's Grandville rose to fame with the publication Les Metamorphoses du Jour 1829, 71 published illustrations printed in Paris and later reprinted. This album was offered for sale as the work of Grandville himself by Hartung and Hartung (lot 117; 11th June 2007) with the following below description translated. We believe this lot went unsold at the auction. 'The humorous, exceptionally finely executed drawings, on vellum-like paper and almost equally in portrait and landscape format, depict scenes from everyday life and are with one exception carefully labeled in brown ink, e.g., "Chacun prend son plaisir ou il le trouve" (Everyone takes their pleasure or finds it), "Orgueil & bassesse" (Organ & Bass), "La promenade" (The Promenade), "Concert vocal" (Vocal Concert), "La gymnastique sociale" (Social Gymnastics), "Amusement champetre" (Field Amusement), etc. The execution of the drawings in the style of outline etchings, their relatively apolitical content, and the costumes of the figures suggest a date of origin in the mid-1820s; cf. Renonciat, pp. 17ff. SIZE: Overall size: 205 mm x 270 mm The pages varying very slightly in size as presumably bound up from loose leaves. GRANDVILLE Jean Jacque A.K.A Gerard, Jean (illustratore).…
