The work: Scènes de la vie privée et publique des animaux (Scenes from the private and public life of animals ), J. Hetzel et Paulin, by J. J. Grandville , Paris, 1842. Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard (September 13, 1803 – March 17, 1847), French caricaturist, generally known by the pseudonym of J.J. Grandville. He was born at Nancy, in northeastern France, to an artistic and theatrical family. The name "Grandville" was his grandparents' professional stage name. The work which first established his fame was Les Métamorphoses du jour (1828–29), a series of seventy scenes in which individuals with the bodies of men and faces of animals are made to play a human comedy. These drawings are remarkable for the extraordinary skill with which human characteristics are represented in animal facial features. The success of this work led to his being engaged as artistic contributor to various periodicals, such as Le Silhouette, L'Artiste, La Caricature, Le Charivari; and his political caricatures which were characterized by marvelous fertility of satirical humour, soon came to enjoy a general popularity. Grandville's fantastic anthropomorphic figures combining human and animal characteristics have been considered among the sources for Sir John Tenniel's illustrations in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. This original engraving stands as both a beautiful and scarce example of 1850's caricature art. References: Carteret III, 552-559. Ray II, no. 194.
