583 - *L'assiette au beurre*. Paris: Schwarz, 1901–1906. 300 copies, in 6 vols., in-4° (no title page, rare foxing, a few loose pages, and minor damage mainly to the margins). Aubergine-colored half-maroquin with corners signed J. Dubois, green percaline covers, spine with gilt lettering, cover illustrations preserved. except 1 (scuffing and wear, a few scratches, spine somewhat faded, insect damage to the clasps of 2 vols., a few cap bands partially split). Good overall condition. A collector’s item (nos. 1–300) from this social and political satirical magazine, which was resolutely left-wing, anti-monarchist, and anti-clerical. Photomechanical printing, mostly in color. Self-proclaimed as “the most artistic of political magazines,” *L’Assiette au beurre* secured the collaboration of the finest European artists of the early 20th century: Steinlen, Vallotton, Van Dongen, Cappiello, Jossot, Hermann-Paul, Camara, and Iribe, among many others. The series is well-preserved and supplemented by a few periodicals or supplements that are also bound into the volume—at least two issues of “Le Pied-de-nez” in Vol. I and one issue of “Les masques de l’Assiette au beurre” in Vol. VI.
