Paris: Furne, |Dubochet, |Hetzel & Paulin|puisAlexandre Houssiaux, 1842. Fine. Furne, Dubochet, Hetzel & Paulin puisAlexandre Houssiaux, Paris 1842-1855, 14,5x22cm, 20 volumes reliés. - Première édition collective sous le titre d'oeuvres, présentant, en même temps que nombre de textes en édition originale, une nouvelle version de la Comédie humaine, revue, remaniée par Balzac. Cette édition est aussi la première édition illustrée. Reliures en demi chagrin bleu, dos très légèrement éclaircis à quatre fin nerfs sertis de pointillés dorés et ornés de triples caissons estampés à froid aux centres desquels figurent un fleuron doré, plats de papier marbré, gardes et contreplats de papier à la cuve, reliures de l'époque. Quelques rousseurs sur certains tomes, une petite tache à la page 119 du tome 4, une autre à la page 321 du tome 8, une déchirure sur la page de faux-titre du tome 9, une petite tache d'eau en angle de la page 449 et sur les suivantes du tome 10, une tache aux pages 173-174 du tome 14, taches aux pages 303 à 307 du tome 16. Ensemble complet de ses 152 planches hors-texte par les meilleurs artistes de l'époque dont Bertall, Daumier, Gavarni, Johannot, Nanteuil ainsi que d'illustrations in-texte. Outre les 152 planches contenues dans cet ensemble, 4 planches refusées ont été ajoutées, portant le nombre de planches à 156 pour notre exemplaire. Autant de raisons pour insister sur l'intérêt de cette édition, l'une des plus importantes de la littérature française. Ayant eu une existence agitée, confuse, plusieurs fois rééditée à un grand nombre d'exemplaires, elle est fort rare sous sa première forme, et, sous cette première forme, plus rare encore en reliures uniformes d'époque qu'en reliures modernes avec les couvertures conservées. (Cf Clouzot) Voici la liste de ces volumes à la date de leur premier tirage, accompagnés de la mention des textes qui y paraissent en édition originale et des figures qu'ils possédent : Tome I : 1842. Edition originale d'Albert Savarus et de la Fausse maîtresse. 10 figures dont le portrait de Balzac. Tome II : 1842. Edition originale d'Autre étude de femme. 8 figures Tome III : 1842. 7 figures. Tome IV : 1845. 10 figures. Tome V : 1843. 8 figures Tome VI : 1843. 8 figures Tome VII : 1844. 8 figures Tome VIII : 1843. Edition originale de la dernière partie des Illusions perdues. 8 figures Tome IX : 1843. 8 figures. Tome X : 1844. 9 figures Tome XI : 1844. 8 figures Tome XII : 1846. Edition originale de la dernière partie de Splendeurs et misères des courtisanes, d'Une esquisse d'homme d'affaires, de l'Envers de l'histoire contemporaine (1ère partie) de Gaudissart IIn et des Comédiens sans le savoir. 6 figures. Tome XIII : 1845. 6 figures. Tome XIV : 1845. 10 figures Tome XV : 1845. 6 figures Tome XVI : 1846. 6 figures Tome XVII : 1848. 5 figures, qui manquent très souvent, n'ayant été livrées que postérieurement et qui sont sur feuillets volants. L'ouvrage ne devait primitivement comporter que 17 volumes, mais l'éditeur Houssiaux, prenant la suite des éditeurs précédents, les compléta par trois derniers volumes : Tome XVIII : 1855. 16 figures. Tome XIX : 1855. 4 figures Tome XX : 1855. 5 figures. Bel et rare exemplaire en reliure uniforme du temps (vers 1855) comportant la totalité des figures dénombrées par Clouzot plus 4 ajoutées. [ENGLISH TRANSLATION FOLLOWS] Honoré de BALZAC & Honoré DAUMIER & Charles Constant Albert Nicolas d'Arnoux de Limoges Saint-Saëns dit BERTALL & Paul GAVARNI & Tony JOHANNOT & Célestin NANTEUIL œuvres complètes de H. de Balzac [Complete Works] Furne, Dubochet, Hetzel, Paulin puis Alexandre Houssiaux | Paris 1842-1855 | 14.5 x 22 cm | 20 volumes in contemporary half shagreen First collective edition sold as the Works, comprising - as well as numerous texts published for the first time - a new version of the Human Comedy, reviewed and revised by Balzac. This is also the first illustrated edition. Contemporary half blue shagreen over marbled paper boards, spines slightly sunned, in five compartments with thin raised bands decorated with gilt dots and compartments with triple blind-ruled frames, gilt fleurons to centre, marbled endpapers and pastedowns. A little foxing in some volumes, a very small stain to page 119 of volume 4, another to page 321 of volume 8, a tear to half-title of volume 9, a small damp stain to corner of pages 449 and following of volume 10, stain to pp. 173-74 of volume 14, stains to pages 303 to 307 of vol. 16. The full set of 152 hors-texte plates by the best artists of the age, including Bertall, Daumier, Gavarni, Johannot, Nanteuil, as well as illustrations to text. Four rejected plates have been added, bringing the number of plates in this copy to 156. There are so many reasons for emphasising the interest of this edition, one of the most important in French literature. Having had a turbulent existence, and confused, and having been several times republished in a great number of copies, it is very rare in its first form and - in this first version - even rarer in a contemporary uniform binding than with a modern binding and the wrappers preserved (cf Clouzot). A very good and rare copy in a contemporary uniform binding (ca 1855) with all the plates called for by Clouzot and four additional ones.

He found among these artists the inspiration necessary for his work. But it was his humor that dominated his creations, especially the black humor of the surrealists.
In August 1927 Paul Eluard sent Miro the poems by Lisa Hirtz (born Ann - Marie Meyer), a friend of Breton.… Read More
