  • An original pencil caricature

    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.

    H.B. [John Doyle]
    A New Illustration of the Old Adage - Between Two Stools &c.

    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. He expected to be re-confirmed in the post but Colonel Evans (Sir de Lacy Evans), as represented in the sketch, stepped in, and snatched away the seat for Westminster; and the re-appointment to the office of Irish Secretary was postponed sine die. 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…

He expected to be re-confirmed in the post but Colonel Evans (Sir de Lacy Evans), as represented in the sketch, stepped in, and snatched away the seat for Westminster; and the re-appointment to the office of Irish Secretary was postponed sine die. 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. Small embossed stamp of authenticity (by Thos. McClean) to the lower left. A very nice copy. 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. See McClean, Thos. An Illustrative Key to the Political Sketches of H.B. #CCLXI. British Museum ref: 1856,0510.397.

    . 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. John Doyle est né à Dublin et s'est installé à Londres en 1822 où il a d'abord travaillé comme lithographe portraitiste. En 1827, Doyle a commencé à publier des gravures politiques de manière anonyme. De 1829 à 1851, Doyle publia sa célèbre série Political Sketches, signant ses œuvres des initiales "HB" pour cacher son identité.

Muhamedans destined for the invasion of Southern Germany!" Single sheet printed in original water colour and ink lithograph. 40.5cm x 33 cm. Exceptionally rare old coloured poster on the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71, which Schreiber produced for Krüll'sche Buchhandlung in Ingolstadt. In the upper left margin a larger paper damage with loss of the letter "A" of the title bar. Otherwise in good condition apart from a slight crease and damage to the lower left corner. We can find no copies of this poster on sale at the present time. This is a curious poster. While France and the Ottoman Empire had a long history of alliance and co-operation dating back to the 16th century, by the time of the Franco-Prussian War, this partnership was largely symbolic and did not translate into Ottoman support or intervention during the conflict. We can only assume that this was purely propaganda, in modern terms a "dog whistle" to the racist elements of the German population.

    . Traduction en anglais : "De la guerre de libération de 1870. Portrait d'un Turko ! L'avant-garde de l'armée française de civilisation ! Muhamedans destinés à l'invasion de l'Allemagne du Sud !" Feuille unique imprimée en lithographie originale à l'encre et à l'aquarelle. 40,5 cm x 33 cm. Affiche ancienne en couleur sur la guerre franco-prussienne de 1870/71, exceptionnellement rare, que Schreiber a produite pour Krüll'sche Buchhandlung à Ingolstadt. Dans la marge supérieure gauche, un gros dégât de papier avec perte de la lettre "A" de la barre de titre. Sinon, l'affiche est en bon état, à l'exception d'un léger pli et d'un dommage dans le coin inférieur gauche. Nous n'avons trouvé aucun exemplaire de cette affiche en vente à l'heure actuelle. Il s'agit d'une affiche curieuse. Bien que la France et l'Empire ottoman aient une longue histoire d'alliance et de coopération remontant au XVIe siècle, au moment de la guerre franco-prussienne, ce partenariat était largement symbolique et ne s'est pas traduit par un soutien ou une intervention de l'Empire ottoman pendant le conflit. Nous ne pouvons que supposer qu'il s'agissait d'une pure propagande, en termes modernes, d'un "sifflet à chien" destiné aux éléments racistes de la population allemande.
