Ma femme ne m'attend pas / Va-t-elle être contente!! My wife isn't waiting for me / Will she be happy!!

First edition. Little does he know! A lovely hand coloured caricature, that was printed by La Caricature (journal) as No. 9. (December 2nd 1830). The first caricature is a printed and hand coloured onto a piece of stiff card of 15.5cm x 8cm. This shows a burly character (who is rather flamboyantly dressed in with a matching pair of Paul Smith style shoes and rucksack). He is stood in front of the door. He says "Ma femme ne m'attend pas, Va-t-elle e être contente!!" One presumes not, as when you flip over the card, it is hiding another hand coloured illustration, of the wife and her lover being rather too affectionate in the garden. Indeed, his top hat has fallen to the ground! This second illustration, a fraction smaller than the first, is printed directly onto the large backing card. The cover piece is held in place with archival tape (rather like stamp hinges). These may be replacements for the original hinge. The backing card is 34.5cm x 26cm. This is a little darkened and creased and has an old repaired tear to the right edge. Our copy is tipped into a card passe partout, which frames the piece neatly. A scarce item, we can find no copies available online at the time of cataloguing. Printed and lithographed by Delaporte, Victor Hippolyte. Referenced in Vanheule, Marie-Anne, Henri Monnier, l'homme et l'oeuvre, 1799-1877, dessins et lithographies, 1954, 108,; Vanheule, 108. WorldCat / OCLC: 812531212 which shows the only library holding as BnF reference: FRBNF42746351. There is also a copy held in the Paris Musées collection..
