About This Item

Paris: Imp. Lemercier, 57 R. de Seine, 1852. The Harlequin Coat
Twelve Lithographed Plates by Gavarni

GAVARNI, Paul [pseudonym of Guillaume Sulpice Chevallier]. Le Manteau d'Arlequin par Gavarni. Paris: Imp. Lemercier, n.d., 1852].

Large folio (14 9/16 x 10 1/2 inches; 370 x 267 mm.). Twelve lithographed plates. Title from front cover.

Publisher's dark blue pebble-grain cloth with covers decoratively stamped in blind and front cover lettered in gilt. Expertly and almost invisibly rebacked with the original spine laid down. Yellow coated endpapers, all edges gilt. Minimal marginal foxing to a few plates, otherwise a very fine copy.

Scarce; no copies recorded by OCLC and no copies seen at auction since at least 1975.

The plates are captioned:

1. "...oui mon chair Auguste Ge suis décidé arestée dan les queur tant que mon poliçon de direqueteur aura çelui demi laissée..."
2. "...alors, si vous permettez, j'aurai l'honneur de vous envoyer ma voiture à onze heures...Ça me botte."
3. "...Ah!, M'ame Ado'phe! M'ame Ado'phe!...je ne serais pas ce que je suis, sans mon vieux serpent de mère!"
4. "—Qu'est-ce que tu dirais d'une bague comme ça, toi, qu'on donnerait à ton épouse?—Je dirais que c'est du faux."
5. "...et je vas tout à l'heure être précipitée les quatre fers en l'air, du sommet de la tour du nord!...tout ça, Messeigneurs, rapport à ma vertu."
6. "—Voyons, chaste auteur de mes mots, vous me faites un rôle...?—Inouï!—Quel costume?—Une mise indécente est de rigueur."
7. "—Eh! bien, tu verras, ma fille, comme tu le seras, toi, dans tous tes états, aux débuts de ta petite...C'est aux miens que fallait voir feue ma mère."
8. "LE MOSIEU DE LA DÉBUTANTE."
9. "LE MARI DE MA'M'SELLE CIGALE."
10. "—C'est ma drôlesse qu'est applaudie!...et qui qu'a l'mal?"
11. "—Tenez, M'ame Cabestan, vous ne saisissez pas le poème...—Si, mais qu'est-ce que nos petites font dans le dessous?—Faut bien qu'on garde les vases sacrés!—C'est donc des manières de vestales?—Sensé."
12. "—Si le parterre est gentil, mon bonhomme, y a de quoi...une fichue situation à nettoyer!...c'est fini: le Scélérat a déjà le pied sur la poitrine de l'autre qui n'en peut plus et, à la vue de la Baronne, sans=dessus=dessous, le Sénéchal est comme imbécile...et on ne sait pas où est la clé!...sans compter que la nuit tombe et que le château brûle pendant que...tu ne donnerais pas deux sous de l'honneur de ma Dame!...me v'là et, paf! ça y est...mais avec leur satané pistolet je m'abîme tout le doigt."

Armelhaut & Bocher 1152-1163.
