About This Item
Paris: Hautecoeur Frères, 1840. Parisian and Country Tribulations
The Humorous Side of Distress, Trouble, Misery, Anguish, Agony, Grief and Wretchedness...
ADAM, Albert, illustrator. Tribulations Parisiennes et Campagnardes. Par Albert Adam. Paris: Hautecoeur Frères, [ca. 1840].
First edition. Folio (12 7/8 x 9 7/8 inches; 328 x 251 mm.). Lithographed pictorial title-page and Thirty-two plates hand-colored lithograph plates heightened with gum arabic, on sixteen sheets. Several of the plates have more than one image depicted. Tiny piece of lower corner of title-page and plate 10 torn away, small piece of lower inner margin of plate 16 torn away - nothing affecting any images. Some light marginal soiling and toning otherwise an excellent copy of this extremely scarce title.
Bound to contemporary style in full dark green straight-grain morocco. Covers elaborately decorated in gilt and blind, spine with five raised bands decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments, decorative gilt turn-ins, gold marbled end-papers. This is the first time in over fifty years that I have seen this very amusing title which depicts the humorous side of distress, trouble, misery, anguish, agony, grief and wretchedness... especially plate 12 (the top image) "Arrcheur de Dents sans douleur" (pain-free teeth remover).
The Plates:
1. Un Chien emporté / Culbute à la Marche
2. Désagrément du Macdam / Le Pot de fer et le Pot de terre
3. Une Famille d'Allemands / Touché !!! / Deux blaguers / Il l'aura .. il l'aura pas! / Le Repas
4. Ces Messieurs s'amusant... / C'est celle-là ! qui est une bête de premier mérite
5. Une branche de salut / Une belle Famille
6. Un accident imprévu / Marchands d'oranges etc
7. Voiture à l'usage des amateurs de culbutes / Le Dejeuner interrompu
8. Arrosement public et gratis / La Ruade
9. Gentlemans au Bois / Visite désagréable
10. Train de plaisir à l'heure / [not titled]
11. Départ du Roulage / Position très désagréable
12. Arrcheur de Dents sans douleur / Le bon père de Famille
13. Concurrence monstre. - Route de Passy / Cheval qui a un défaut marquant
14. Une glissade / [not titled]
15. L'Artiste culbuté / Cheval antropophage
16. Un Mosieur qui n'a pas l'habitude etc / Noouvelle course au Clocher
Very scarce: According to OCLC there are just five copies located in libraries and institutions worldwide (Morgan Library, NY; UCLA, CA; Library of Congress, DC; Clark Art Institute, MA, and Harvard Univ. Houghton Library, MA).
Albert ADAM (1833-1900) was the son of Caricaturist and lithographer Jean-Victor Adam (1801-1867) whom he often assisted with his commissions.
