DAUMIER, Honoré. Les Cent et un Robert-Macaire. Composés et dessinés par H. Daumier; sur les idées et les légendes de Ch. Philipon; texte par Maurice Alhoy et Louis Huart. Paris, Aubert et Cie, 1839-1840 2 Volumes in 4to. 266x210 mm. Coeval binding in the arms of the Duchess of Berry, red morocco, plates framed by gilt and cold-stamped roulettes, gilt coat of arms of the Duchess in the center of the plates, 5-nerved spine with gilt title, fillets and fleurons, gilt fillet on the lips and gilt Greek-style decoration inside the plates, guard sheets in polychrome marbled paper, gilt trimmings. Each volume contains 6 unnumbered pages, with Frontispiece and two Eyelets, 50 notebooks of 4 pages each, with three pages of text and one page with lithographic illustration and legend; at the end 4 pages with the 'Table des matieres' and the 'fin' of the first and second volumes. A portrait of Daumier drawn and engraved in copper by August Boulard is added to the first volume. At the end of the second volume 8 pages with the Catalogue of Aubert Publications. In total, one copper-engraved plate out of text with Portrait and 101 full-page Lithograph Impressed Tables. Slight sporadic foxing and some paper browning, nice copy. First edition, rare first run of Daumier's 101 lithographs. Specimen belonged to the Duchess of Berry, in magnificent red morocco binding at Arms. Maria Carolina Ferdinanda Luisa di Borbone, Caserta 1798 - Mureck 1870, Princess of the Two Sicilies by birth and Duchess of Berry by marriage, is a fantastic historical icon of the 19th century. Her epic destiny embodied the spirit of Romanticism: daughter of the King of the Two Sicilies Francis I Xavier and Maria-Clementine of Austria, she married in 1816 the Duke of Berry Charles-Ferdinand (1778-1820), son of Charles X, by whom she had a son, the Duke of Bordeaux. Widowed at the age of twenty-two by the murder of her husband, she began an adventurous political existence. Exiled during the July Revolution of 1830, she returned to France in April 1832 and tried unsuccessfully to stir up the people of the Vendée and Brittany with the goal of a legitimist restoration: arrested at Nantes in November 1832, she was imprisoned at Blaye. She gave great scandal by giving birth in captivity to a son of Hector Luccesi-Palli (1808-1864), son of the Grand Chancellor of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, the Prince of Campo-Franco, whom she had secretly married in 1831. She was freed in 1833. Daumier's work is a scathing satire of Louis-Philippe's bourgeois France, pillorying the business world and liberal professions through the character of Robert Macaire, an unscrupulous businessman. The famous caricatures of 'Robert Macaire' made Honoré Daumier the giant of costume painting and social criticism. Carteret emphasizes the rarity of this work in good condition. Carteret, Le tresor du bibliophile romantique et moderne, III, p. 187. 2 Volumes in 4to. 266x210 mm. Contemporary red Morocco binding with coat of arms of the Duchess of Berry.
