J. J. Grandville
Enigme - Lithograph by J.J. Grandville - 1835

1835

About the Item

Pauvre France is an original litograph, realized by Jean-Jacques Grandville in 1831, plate 164 from La Caricature n°82. Included a wooden frame. In very good conditions. Here the artwork is representing a gigantic child with a big head seated on the shoulder of a barefoot woman with a worry look standing near messy scrolls and paper up to a table. Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard (1803-1847) known by the pseudonym of Jean-Jacques or J. J. Grandville, was a French caricaturist. Grandville's ability for political provocation made his work with great impact. He worked in a wide variety of formats, from his first job illustrating the parlor game Old Maid, to illustrated newspaper strips of which he was a master. Though the designs of Grandville are occasionally unnatural and absurd, they usually display keen analysis of character and marvellous inventive ingenuity, and his humour is always tempered and refined by delicacy of sentiment and a vein of sober thoughtfulness.
