About This Item

Paris: Chez Aubert & Cie., 1850. Love These Children!
But the Joys and Sweets of Fatherhood
Are Extremely Scarce

[DAUMIER, Honoré. Henri-Daniel Plattel. Jules Platier]. [PLATTEL, Henri Daniel]. Ces Amours d'enfans. Joies et Douceurs de la Paternité. Paris: Aubert & Cie, [n.d., ca. 1850].

Small oblong quarto (6 5/8 x 9 7/8 inches; 168 x 251 mm.). Hand-colored lithographed title by Auguste Belin, and sixteen hand-colored lithographed plates heightened with gum arabic, eight by Daumier, the remaining by Plattel or Platier. [16 pp. Aubert catalog at rear].

Publishers blind-stamped leather-grain red cloth over boards, "121" in gilt to upper cover, spine decoratively lettered in gilt, green endpapers. Hand colored lithograph title with neat ink "777" on lower blank corner. An exceptionally clean, bright, and fine copy.

Reversed restrikes from the Aubert series, Croquis D'Expressions, 100 lithographed prints originally appearing in Le Charivari 1838-1839, fifty-five of which were executed by Daumier, the remainder by Henri-Daniel Plattel and Jules Platier. All artist signatures have been removed and the hand-coloring is far more bright and vivid than the original issue prints that we have seen.

Croquis D'Expressions was never formally collected by Chez Aubert into an album. There are no copies of this later issue by Aubert collected under this new title in institutional holdings worldwide, nor auction records.

Jules Platier, Draftsman-Lithographer, who worked mainly between 1840 and 1855. One of his suites: The Office of the Police Commissioner, had, at the time, a great success of popularity. (Grand Carteret. Bibliographie des Artistes Caricaturistes, p. 665).

Henri Daniel Plattel (1803-1859). French satirist printmaker working in lithography. He contributed two of the fifty-five hand colored lithographs in Honoré Daumier's Croquis d'Expressions, [Paris]: Chez Aubert gal. véro-dodat, [1 January 1838-7 April 1839], and together with Jules Platier several of the hand colored lithographs for Honoré Daumier's Ces Amours d'enfans. Joies et Douceurs de la Paternité. Paris: Aubert & Cie, [n.d., ca. 1850].
