Numerous rubs. Each issue consists of 2 printed ff. and one to three lithographed plates by Grandville, Daumier, Traviès, Monnier, Adam, Charlet, Devéria, Lami, Raffet, Forest, etc. etc., thus forming 526 (of 527) lithographed plates (including plates 56bis, 132bis "croquades [de Louis Philippe] faites à l'audience", 153bis), some of which folding or partially colored, with the pink poster bound in volume 5. Each volume with its printed title, as well as the tables of each issue (text and plates) up to n°234). Missing only plate no. 450 ("Revolutionary Supper" by Benjamin). With 23 (of 24) additional plates ("dessin de la souscription mensuelle") including Daumier's 2 famous engravings "Le Ventre législatif" and "Rue Transnonain, le 15 avril 1834" (missing 23rd supplement "Le Docteur Gervais..." by Traviès). With duplicate issues 193, 195, 187 and 189 bound at the end of the last volume. The set thus comprises a total of 485 full-page engraved LITHOGRAPHIES (some folding or on double pages counting double or triple), including 104 IN COLOR. Numerous freckles, text pages more or less browned, light or russet dampening in places. (Detailed list on request.) This illustrated periodical was run by its founder Charles Philipon until early 1839, with Auguste Audibert as editor-in-chief, then Louis Desnoyers. The periodical was first published by Aubert, a print merchant based at no. 31 Galerie Vero-Dodat. Honoré de Balzac, who was associated with Philipon in the creation of the journal, wrote the prospectus and contributed some thirty articles under various pseudonyms until February 1831, as well as the essay Petites Misères de la vie conjugale in 1830. From 1832, the title was changed to La Caricature politique, morale, littéraire et scénique. The 251 issues published between 1830 and 1835 represent a corpus of 2,000 pages and 530 lithographs. La Caricature fought against the power of Louis-Philippe I ("Philipon contre Philippe"), making it an important publication in the history of French caricature. Faced with royal censorship bans and other lawsuits brought by the authorities, Philipon founded the Association pour la Liberté de la Presse (Association for Press Freedom) to ensure the paper's survival and finance its various expenses. In return, subscribers received a monthly lithograph. It appeared under the name La Lithographie mensuelle from August 1832 to 1834. La Caricature temporarily ceased publication following the enactment of the press law of September 9, 1835, in the wake of the Fieschi assassination attempt. Resumed in 1838 under the title La Caricature provisoire, the paper changed its formula and subtitle. From issue no. 36 of July 7, 1839, it was known as La Caricature morale judiciaire, littéraire, artistique, fashionable et scénique, then in January 1842 as La Caricature, revue satirique des modes, des théâtres, de la musique, des tribunaux et de la littérature. Political satire gave way to studies of manners and social satire. Emmanuel Gonzalès was editor from 1839 to 1840, and Louis Huart from 1840 to 1843, when it was absorbed by Le Charivari. Created in the atmosphere of the years of political and social protest that followed the advent of the July monarchy, La Caricature is the prototype of the committed satirical newspaper. Along with Le Charivari, it was the most successful of the many sheets published at the time, contributing to the undermining of the July monarchy. The verve of its editors and the talent of the greatest caricaturists of the time (led by Daumier, Grandville and Traviès) explain the notoriety acquired by the paper in this battle. Its charges against Louis-Philippe's regime led to numerous prosecutions, including the sentencing of its editor, Charles Philipon, inventor of the "pear", to six months' imprisonment for "outrages à la personne du roi" (November 1831).
