    MONNET, Bertrand.
    A Caricature mocking Hitler by a Monument Man

    Berlin: NP, 1948. A pencil sketch showing a classical monument (which also shows similarity to a Chess Rook). It has the wreath of France to it. Towards the top, is the shining face of Hitler. To the bottom of the statue is a small, but obvious pile of excrement ! It is signed to the lower left corner. Held under Passe Partout. The sketch is good, in clean condition, with light creasing to it. 35.5cm x 24cm. The Passe Partout and frame are 38cm x 38.5cm.

    Berlin: NP, 1948. A pencil sketch showing a classical monument (which also shows similarity to a Chess Rook). It has the wreath of France to it. Towards the top, is the shining face of Hitler. To the bottom of the statue is a small, but obvious pile of excrement ! It is signed to the lower left corner. Held under Passe Partout. The sketch is good, in clean condition, with light creasing to it. 35.5cm x 24cm. The Passe Partout and frame are 38cm x 38.5cm. To the reverse of the sheet are several sketches and the name Bertrand Monnet. The sheet was obviously folded at some point. Held under glass in a simple wooden frame. Our belief is that the sketch was made whilst Monnet was the mission officer in the occupation zone immediately after the war.

    Bertrand Jules Monnet, (1910-1989) was a Parisian architect, who qualified from the School of Fine Arts in 1939. He was particularly engaged as an architect of Historical Monuments. He was appointed Chief Architect of Historic Monuments in 1942 (This means that he was a member of Les Architectes en Chef des Monuments Historiques (ACMH) not THE chief architect). He was mission officer to the military government of the free zone of occupation in Germany in 1946-1949. On his return to France, he was architect for a number of prestigious buildings and was both Vice President and President of ACMH.

    . Croquis au crayon représentant un monument classique (qui présente également des similitudes avec une tour d'échecs). Il porte la couronne de la France. Vers le haut, on voit le visage brillant d'Hitler. Au bas de la statue se trouve un petit, mais évident, tas d'excréments ! Il est signé dans le coin inférieur gauche. Détenu sous Passe Partout. L'esquisse est en bon état, propre, avec de légers plis. 35,5 cm x 24 cm. Le Passe Partout et le cadre mesurent 38 cm x 38,5 cm. Au verso de la feuille figurent plusieurs croquis et le nom de Bertrand Monnet. La feuille a manifestement été pliée à un moment donné. Présenté sous verre dans un simple cadre en bois. Nous pensons que le croquis a été réalisé alors que Monnet était chargé de mission dans la zone d'occupation immédiatement après la guerre.

    Bertrand Jules Monnet (1910-1989) était un architecte parisien, diplômé de l'École des beaux-arts en 1939. Il s'est particulièrement investi dans l'architecture des monuments historiques. Il est nommé architecte en chef des monuments historiques en 1942 (ce qui signifie qu'il est membre des Architectes en Chef des Monuments Historiques (ACMH) et non architecte en chef). Il a été chargé de mission auprès du gouvernement militaire de la zone libre d'occupation en Allemagne en 1946-1949. De retour en France, il a été architecte de nombreux bâtiments prestigieux et a été à la fois vice-président et président des ACMH.

  • A Great Economist by H.B. [John Doyle]
    H.B. [John Doyle]
    A Great Economist His Majesty reads the newspapers without the aid of glasses and by the Light of a Single Candle!!!

    London: Thos McLean, 1830. First Edition. Sketch #37 in the political sketches series. The king reads a bill by candle light. "It seems pretty evident that the Windsor correspondent of the Morning Herald meant only to pay a compliment to His Majesty's eyesight, which, at the age of sixty-nine, must have been pretty good if he could read the newspaper by candle-light, without the aid of glasses ; but the writer, in order to give his compliment the greater force, has almost left His Majesty in the dark ; for gloomy, indeed, must be any of the lofty rooms of Windsor- Castle, if lighted only by a single candle.

"It seems pretty evident that the Windsor correspondent of the Morning Herald meant only to pay a compliment to His Majesty's eyesight, which, at the age of sixty-nine, must have been pretty good if he could read the newspaper by candle-light, without the aid of glasses ; but the writer, in order to give his compliment the greater force, has almost left His Majesty in the dark ; for gloomy, indeed, must be any of the lofty rooms of Windsor- Castle, if lighted only by a single candle. H. B. has caught a very humorous view of the compliment, and made it apply, not to optics, but to domestic economy ; and here is George IV., the luxurious George IV.-the Comus of Carlton-House--the restorer of Windsor- Castle at the expense of a million of money-the builder of Buckingham Palace and the Pavilion at Brighton : he who never calculated the cost of whatever might promote his indulgence or gratify his taste :-here is this dignified, splendour loving
    Monarch, reading a newspaper by the light of a single mutton-fat ; and reading, too, the market prices of butcher's meat, with a view to check the bills of the purveyors to the royal household. Dionysius at Corinth, or Timon in his cave, hardly present a more violent contrast." (Thomas McLean, An Illustrative Key to the Political Sketches of H.B.). Nice clean image. Pasted onto a mustard card backing. Backing card has been trimmed to 2.5cm around the plate. Print is 28cm x 32cm. Backing card is 32cm x 37cm. Also held under a temporary white passe partout. Conforms to the National Portrait Gallery copy Ref: NPG D40972 King George IV. John Doyle was born in Dublin and moved to London in 1822 where he initially worked as a portrait lithographer. In 1827 Doyle began publishing political prints anonymously. From 1829-1851 Doyle published his well-known Political Sketches series, signing his work with the initials "HB" to hide his identity.

    London: Thos McLean, 1833. A nice copy of this political satire by Doyle. #261 in Doyle's series of political sketches. Sir John Cam Hobhouse had been forced to resign his posts as both MP for Westminster and Secretary of State for Ireland on a minor point of principle.

Sir F. Burdett, though stretching out his arm as if to save him, sees that assistance is in vain ; and the phlegmatic Lord Althorp, behind, appears to be saying, " Never mind, let him go." Print is 29cm x 37.5cm. It is pasted onto a mustard backing sheet of 35cm x 50cm. Both are in good, clean condition, with just a touch of light foxing to the satire.

    . Un bel exemplaire de cette satire politique de Doyle. #Numéro 261 de la série de sketches politiques de Doyle. Sir John Cam Hobhouse avait été contraint de démissionner de ses postes de député de Westminster et de secrétaire d'État à l'Irlande pour une question de principe mineure. Il s'attendait à être reconduit dans ses fonctions, mais le colonel Evans (Sir de Lacy Evans), représenté dans l'esquisse, s'est interposé et a arraché le siège de Westminster ; la reconduction au poste de secrétaire d'État pour l'Irlande a été reportée sine die. Sir F. Burdett, bien qu'il tende le bras comme pour le sauver, voit que l'aide est vaine ; et le flegmatique Lord Althorp, derrière, semble dire : "Peu importe, laissons-le partir". L'estampe mesure 29 cm x 37,5 cm. Elle est collée sur un support moutarde de 35cm x 50cm. Les deux sont en bon état, propres, avec juste une légère rousseur sur la satire. Petit cachet d'authenticité gaufré (par Thos. McClean) en bas à gauche. Un très bel exemplaire.

    "An Illustrative key to the Political Sketches of H.B......" (1861). P96. Lords Brougham and Plunket, on their return to London, from a visit to Windsor Castle, were caught in a fog and lost their way, chiefly, it was said, in consequence of the efforts which the postillions had been making to fortify themselves against the weather. Lord Brougham has mounted the ample shoulders of Lord Plunket, to take an observation, on the principle mentioned by Swift, who says, "It is with human intellects as it is with liquors, the lightest is ever at the top." The appearance of the drivers bears testimony to the fact that strong ale has had something to do with the disaster; and for the solution of the riddle of " Reform Bill," whose ale appears to have done the mischief.

    John Doyle (1797–1868), known by the pen name H.B., was an influential Irish caricaturist, political cartoonist, painter, and lithographer. He is considered a pioneer of "polite caricature," a style that avoided grotesque exaggerations and instead relied on wit and subtle humor to critique political figures and events. His work marked a departure from the harsh satire of earlier artists like James Gillray and Thomas Rowlandson. In 1827 Doyle began publishing political prints anonymously. From 1829-1851 Doyle published his well-known Political Sketches series, signing his work with the initials "HB" to hide his identity.

    A school for Sumo wrestlers

    Tokyo: Wakasaya Yoichi (若狹屋与市), C1843. First edition. A lovely copy of this rare woodblock print. Believed to by by Utagama Kunisada circa 1843. The print, in bright colours, shows a group of seven sumo masters looking down on a group of wrestlers fighting. There are also two clothed Sumo masters standing amongst the students. There are 20 students. The teachers have names in labels by each of them, and they are clearly recognisable characters. The work bears the publisher's seal of Wakasaya Yoichi, an eminent Tokyo publisher, who printed many famous artists. This is part of the reason for our attribution, as Kunisada often portrayed both individual wrestlers, and groups of sumo wrestlers and wrestling schools. He also regularly…

The work bears the publisher's seal of Wakasaya Yoichi, an eminent Tokyo publisher, who printed many famous artists. This is part of the reason for our attribution, as Kunisada often portrayed both individual wrestlers, and groups of sumo wrestlers and wrestling schools. He also regularly published with Wakasaya Yoichi. A excelent example, there is a light crease to the bottom part of the print (which could probably be ironed out). The edges have fractional nicking, but overall is in very nice condition. 37cm x 25cm. A rare piece. We cannot find another example of this particular woodblock print.

    . Première édition. Un bel exemplaire de cette rare gravure sur bois. On pense qu'elle a été réalisée par Utagama Kunisada vers 1843. L'estampe, aux couleurs vives, montre un groupe de sept maîtres de sumo regardant de haut un groupe de lutteurs en train de se battre. Deux maîtres de sumo vêtus se tiennent également au milieu des élèves. Les élèves sont au nombre de 20. Les professeurs portent des noms dans des étiquettes à côté de chacun d'eux, et ce sont des personnages clairement reconnaissables. L'œuvre porte le sceau de l'éditeur Wakasaya Yoichi, un éminent éditeur de Tokyo qui a imprimé de nombreux artistes célèbres. C'est en partie la raison de notre attribution, car Kunisada a souvent représenté des lutteurs individuels, des groupes de lutteurs de sumo et des écoles de lutte. Il a également publié régulièrement avec Wakasaya Yoichi. Un excellent exemple, il y a un léger pli sur la partie inférieure de l'impression (qui pourrait probablement être repassé). Les bords sont légèrement entaillés, mais l'ensemble est en très bon état. 37cm x 25cm. Une pièce rare. Nous n'avons pas trouvé d'autre exemple de cette gravure sur bois.

We have not been able to find anything else like this online or in auction records. Could it be it was a one-off? In frame, under glass. Size of image: 595 x 470 mm (23½ x 18½ inches).

    . Au milieu du XIXe siècle, Bilbille se rendait de Paris à la foire de Leipzig, en passant par les villes productrices de tissus de Mulhouse et de Saint-Gall, pour acheter et vendre des échantillons de tissus. Cette affiche publicitaire originale, embellie à la main, a été créée pour promouvoir une collaboration industrielle. Elle représente une femme à la mode de l'époque, vêtue d'une robe rehaussée par endroits d'une couleur plus claire. Elle tient un parapluie ou une ombrelle. Nous n'avons rien trouvé d'autre de ce type en ligne ou dans les archives des ventes aux enchères. S'agit-il d'une pièce unique ? Dans un cadre, sous verre. Taille de l'image : 595 x 470 mm (23½ x 18½ pouces).

  • Ah! Mon pauvre homme..... by PLATIER, Jules.
    PLATIER, Jules.
    Ah! Mon pauvre homme..... Les Jolis Petits visages No 15

    Paris: Aubert & Cie, C1840. First edition. A lovely hand coloured caricature by the little known French caricaturist Jules Platier. An old lady speaks to an ancient sodier, and tells him that there are cherry trees near the guard house which he may scare! Perhaps a reference to his red cheeks or uniform? This plate is the 15th in the series published by Aubert under the ironic title Les Jolis Petits Visages, comprising 20 plates published between 1839 and 1841.  These also appeared in black in La Nouvelle Lanterne Magique from the same publisher. Beautifully coloured. Very slightly darkened sheet, with evidence of being hung / tipped in at some point. Fractional edgewear but overall an excellent example. 27.5cm…

An old lady speaks to an ancient sodier, and tells him that there are cherry trees near the guard house which he may scare! Perhaps a reference to his red cheeks or uniform? This plate is the 15th in the series published by Aubert under the ironic title Les Jolis Petits Visages, comprising 20 plates published between 1839 and 1841.  These also appeared in black in La Nouvelle Lanterne Magique from the same publisher. Beautifully coloured. Very slightly darkened sheet, with evidence of being hung / tipped in at some point. Fractional edgewear but overall an excellent example. 27.5cm x 36cm. Jules Platier is one of the least known French caricaturists, despite his evident skill. His wonderful compositions show a high level of artistic skill. His birth and death dates or places are unknown. He was particularly associated with the Parisian publishing house established by Charles Philippon and Gabriel Aubert.

    . Première édition. Une belle caricature coloriée à la main par le caricaturiste français peu connu Jules Platier. Une vieille dame s'adresse à un ancien sodier et lui dit qu'il y a des cerisiers près du corps de garde qu'il pourrait effrayer ! Peut-être une allusion à ses joues rouges ou à son uniforme ? Cette planche est la 15e de la série publiée par Aubert sous le titre ironique Les Jolis Petits Visages, comprenant 20 planches publiées entre 1839 et 1841.  Celles-ci sont également parues en noir dans La Nouvelle Lanterne Magique du même éditeur. Magnifiquement colorées. Feuillet très légèrement assombri, avec des traces d'accrochage ou de collage à un moment donné. Les bords sont légèrement usés mais il s'agit dans l'ensemble d'un excellent exemplaire. 27,5 cm x 36 cm. Jules Platier est l'un des caricaturistes français les moins connus, malgré son talent évident. Ses merveilleuses compositions témoignent d'un haut niveau d'habileté artistique. Les dates et lieux de sa naissance et de sa mort sont inconnus. Il était particulièrement associé à la maison d'édition parisienne fondée par Charles Philippon et Gabriel Aubert.
