'Memories of a Brief Affair' Twelve Superb Hand-Colored Lithographs by Charles Philipon PHILIPON, Charles. Souvenir d' Amourette. [Memories of a brief affair]. [Paris]: Chez Genty, [1830]. First edition. Folio (13 x 9 1/2 inches; 331 x 241 mm.). Complete with twelve superb hand-colored lithograph plates by Charles Philipon. Plates lithographed by Alexandre Cheyère. Mid twentieth century quarter salmon pink cloth over marbled boards, spine ruled and lettered in gilt. Some light marginal soiling, the sixth and eighth plates each have an expertly repaired marginal tear (not affecting image). Still a wonderful example of this remarkable rarity. The plates depict twelve scenes of 'illicit' affairs. We have been unable to find records of any other copy. OCLC locates just one copy in libraries and institutions worldwide (Kunstbiblio Staatliche Meseen Zu Berlin (Germany). There are individual plates located as follows: Plate numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12 are held at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France; The Wellcome Library (UK) have an example of plate number 12. The Plates: 1. Il est tard, je serai grondée! It is late, I will be scolded! . 2. Devinez, Monsieur! Guess, sir! . 3. Sois donc Raisonnable, mon ami! So be Reasonable, my friend! 4. Je retiens la loge. I retain the lodge. 5. Tu vas te faire piquer, bouge donc pas! You're going to get stung, so don't move! . 6. Comme c'est amusant! It's really funny! 7. Tu ne peut pas entrer!! Mon pére est lá. You cannot enter !! My father is there . 8. Nous n'arriverons donc jamais? So we'll never get there? . 9. Madame a une migraine affreuse!!! Madame has a terrible migraine !!! . 10. Au diable la pratique. To hell with the practice. 11. De l'orgeat pour un rhume? Orgeat for a cold? 12. Adieu les Amourettes!! Goodbye Amourettes !! . Charles Philipon (1800-1861) was a French lithographer, caricaturist and journalist. He was the editor of La Caricature and of Le Charivari, both of which were satirical political journals.
