Ah! Mon pauvre homme..... Les Jolis Petits visages No 15
-
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 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. .
