Musée ou magasin comique de Philipon : contenant 800 dessins par Cham de N... ... [et al.]

Philipon, Charles, 1800-1862, Cham, 1819-1879, Bourget, M., 19th cent · 1840 · Paris : Aubert et Cie. · 39 pictures

A French comic album of caricatures published in Paris in 1840 by Aubert et Cie, edited by Charles Philipon and drawn by Cham and others for a general readership of Parisian humour lovers. The pictures are sharp pen-and-ink satirical scenes of dandies, theatrical posturing and bourgeois types, with exaggerated poses and long limbs that suggest bold, gestural compositions for graphic designers seeking expressive character staging and caricature energy.
