Les maîtres de la caricature française au XIXe siècle : 115 fac-similés de grandes caricatures en noir, 5 fac-similés de lithographies en couleurs

Dayot, Armand, writer of added commentary, A. Quantin (Firm), publisher · 1888 · Paris : Maison Quantin, compagnie générale d'impression et d'édition · 37 pictures

A French portfolio of nineteenth-century caricature published in Paris in 1888 by the Maison Quantin, with commentary by Armand Dayot, presenting reproductions of works by artists such as Grandville, Gustave Doré and Honoré Daumier. The plates are rotated on the page and show mostly small comic scenes of crowded figures, gestures and street or theatrical situations drawn in ink and crayon, which a designer might use for expressive caricature linework, dense group compositions and satirical character poses.
