BERANGER (Pierre-Jean de). Works, put in... - Lot 22 - Pierre Bergé & Associés
BERANGER (Pierre-Jean de). Works, put in a new order and decorated with forty engravings. Brussels, Tarlier, Jules Boquet, 1828-29. Four volumes in one large in-18, red half-chagrin with corners, spine decorated with rocaille irons, untrimmed, grey covers illustrated with grey covers illustrated with lithographic scenes preserved (Devauchelle). Rare Brussels edition given in parallel to the edition of Paris, Perrotin and Brussels, Tarlier (for the fourth volume), 1829 (cf. Carteret, III, pp. 74-75: Suite Johannot). It is illustrated, in addition to numerous woodcut culs-de-lampe, with forty charming vignettes out of text in the form of medallions finely engraved with the burin after Alfred and Tony Johannot, Charlet, Grenier, Grandville, etc., which belong to the first series of the Parisian edition. Their editor, Jules Boquet, was "correspondent or associate of Perrotin" (cf. Brivois. Bibliography of l'oeuvre de Béranger, p. 35, who describes this edition not mentioned by Carteret, by specifying: " elle deserves a particular mention; it is decorated of culs-de-lampe and contains the relation of the trials made to Béranger, as well as a general alphabetical table of the songs; three things which miss with the edition of Paris"). All the vignettes, except the three reported by Carteret, bear the signature of Perrotin, editor, considered, for some of them, by the same bibliographer as a mark of first printing. Rare copy printed on china paper. It is enriched with the portrait of Béranger by Scheffer, engraved by Cousin and 14 additional vignettes from the Parisian suite, the whole forming a total of 55 vignettes, identical composition to the one of the Beraldi-Meeûs copy sold in 2015 (Bibliothèque Henri Lafond, n° 19).
