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).

Portrait of the author and 17 engraved illustrations by DELACROIX. All plates bear the Motte address, characteristic of the first printing according to Delteil, 57-74. (Carteret III, 270 "a remarkable work typical of the Romantic period, a masterly illustration by the great Delacroix, who is fortunately increasingly esteemed by tasteful bibliophiles"; Vicaire III, 1013). The first edition of the beautiful illustrations drawn by Delacroix and lithographed by Motte; the first literary text illustrated by lithography (discovered by Senefelder in 1796 and introduced in France from 1818), this fine publication is considered the first modern book by a painter. Goethe himself was a particular admirer of Delacroix's genius, as demonstrated in his Faust: "Faust is a work that goes from heaven to earth, from the possible to the impossible, from coarseness to delicacy; all the antitheses that the play of a daring imagination can create are brought together in it, so M. Delacroix felt there as if at home and in his family [...] It must be admitted that this M. Delacroix is a great talent. Delacroix is a great talent who found his true nourishment in Faust [...] And if I have to agree that M. Delacroix has surpassed the pictures I had painted of the scenes written by myself, all the more reason will readers find these compositions full of life, and going far beyond the images they had created for themselves [...]" (Interviews with Eckermann). Unwashed copy, brown spots. A fine copy on Hollande paper containing the lithographs on wove paper.

Lot 1644 - SAVIGNOL (Simon). Important set of drawings and sketches by Simon Savignol (46 ff.) including a sketch for the famous cover of L'Assiette au beurre with his creation of César Tripet, a vagabond full of disrespectful humor. Simon Savignol was a pharmacist, caricaturist and politician born on September 17, 1866 and died on April 24, 1938. His work as a caricaturist in the early 20th century, signed Marius Savignol or Savignol, revealed a humanism that was often bitter but full of sympathy for the marginalized. A convinced anti-German, some of his cartoons anticipated the 1914-1918 conflict very early on. Among these is a virulent caricature of the anti-Semite Edouard Drumont. His satirical drawings were also published in Le Rire, Le Sourire and Les Galonnés.
