‎L'Assiette au Beurre - 4 volumes complets reliés à partir du n°1 de 1901 jusqu'à fin 1904‎

‎Avant de s’autoproclamer en 1902 “le plus gros éditeur de périodiques illustrés en France” Samuel-Sigismond Schwarz est éditeur de feuilletons frivoles voire grivois (Fanfan la Tulipe, etc) et d’éditions reliées dans le goût d’alors des œuvres de Hugo mais, conscient que l’attrait de cette formule économique s’étiole, il envisage de troquer rapidement le feuilleton pour le périodique illustré, opération d’autant plus propice qu’elle intervient dans une France violemment agitée par l’affaire Dreyfus. C’est au cours de l’Exposition Universelle de Paris de 1900 qu’il croise le chemin d’Albert Langen, l'éditeur allemand et fondateur du quotidien satirique Simplicissimus publié depuis 1896. Aussitôt attiré par le ton, il se met en tête de créer un journal hebdomadaire illustré en couleur qui, comme il l’écrit à Anatole France, “parlera sous une forme très mordante, très cinglante, des problèmes de la vie sociale actuelle”. Le 4 avril 1901 sort donc L’Assiette au Beurre, journal complétant un portefeuille de titres déjà riche du Pompon, du Tutu et du Frou-Frou. Dès la couverture, le premier numéro donne le ton pour ce qui restera un titre phare de la satire française : l’assiette au beurre se partage peu car, comme Steinlen le fait dire aux grévistes acculés “et le citoyen-ministre, il n’envoie rien ? Si, 3000 hommes de troupe”. Si le journal n’a jamais été complètement interdit à la vente, certaines de ses caricatures jugées trop sensibles, notamment sur le plan diplomatique, ont pu parfois faire l’objet d’une censure efficace, comme ce fut le cas pour la dernière planche du numéro du 28 septembre 1901 consacré aux camps de concentration du Transvaal figurant l’Impudique Albion dévoilant un postérieur grimant Édouard VII. Rapidement la planche de Jean Veber est rééditée et le visage du monarque moqué recouvert d’un linge. Dans les albums que nous présentons, chaque numéro est issu du tirage original et toutes les planches telles que voulues par leurs auteurs. À noter également la présence du numéro spécial Crimes et Châtiments intégralement illustré par Vallotton donc chaque lithographie est détachable grâce au système de pointillés perforés. Parmi les collaborateurs du journal, signalons Félix Vallotton, Charles Léandre, Alfred Le Petit, Jacques Villon, Caran d’Ache, Carlègle, Hermann-Paul, Chas Laborde, Jules Chéret, Géo-Dupuis, Kees van Dongen, Kupka, Carlègle, Pierre Falké, Jean Émile Laboureur, Juan Gris, Démétrios Galanis, Nadar, Raymond Renefer, Albert Robida, Steinlen, Jean Villemot, Gabriele Galantara, ou encore Louis Marcoussis. Ici sont rassemblés 4 albums compilant les quatre premières années du titre, depuis le n°1 du 4 avril 1901 au n°195 du 24 décembre 1904.

Chaque album est en parfait état de conservation et s’il est à signaler quelques rares accrocs, frottement et griffures sur le cuir au niveau du dos, coiffes et mors ainsi qu’un jaunissement normal dû aux papiers employés et à l’époque de publication déjà lointaine, l’ensemble est en très bel état, l’intérieur frais, sain et parfaitement complet.

‎//// ENGLISH VERSION BELOW //// Before proclaiming himself in 1902 “the largest publisher of illustrated periodicals in France” Samuel-Sigismond Schwarz was an editor of frivolous - and even saucy serials (Fanfan la Tulipe, etc.) - and of bound editions in the then taste of works by Hugo. But, aware that the appeal of this economic formula was waning, he planned to quickly swap the serial for the illustrated periodical, an operation all the more favorable as it took place in a France violently agitated by the Dreyfus affair. It was during the 1900 Paris Universal Exhibition that he crossed paths with Albert Langen, the German publisher and founder of the satirical daily Simplicissimus published since 1896. Immediately attracted by the tone, he took the lead to create a weekly colored illustrated newspaper which, as he writes to Anatole France, “will speak in a very biting, very scathing form, about the problems of current social life”. On April 4, 1901, L’Assiette au Beurre was published, supplementing an already rich portfolio of titles from Pompon, Tutu and Frou-Frou. From the cover, the first number sets the tone for what will remain a flagship title of French satire: the butter dish is not shared much because, as Steinlen makes it say to the cornered strikers “and the citizen-minister, it does not send nothing? Yes, 3000 troops ”. If the newspaper has never been completely banned for sale, some of its cartoons deemed too sensitive, especially on the diplomatic level, have sometimes been the subject of effective censorship, as was the case for the last plate of the September 28, 1901 issue devoted to the Transvaal concentration camps featuring the Impudique Albion unveiling a posterior grimacing Edward VII. Quickly Jean Veber's plate was reissued and the face of the mocked monarch covered with a cloth. In the albums that we present, each issue comes from the original print and all the plates are as intended by their authors. Note also the presence of the special issue Crimes et Châtiments fully illustrated by Vallotton so each lithograph is detachable thanks to the perforated dotted system. Among the newspaper's collaborators, let us mention Félix Vallotton, Charles Léandre, Alfred Le Petit, Jacques Villon, Caran d'Ache, Carlègle, Hermann-Paul, Chas Laborde, Jules Chéret, Géo-Dupuis, Kees van Dongen, Kupka, Carlègle, Pierre Falké, Jean Émile Laboureur, Juan Gris, Démétrios Galanis, Nadar, Raymond Renefer, Albert Robida, Steinlen, Jean Villemot, Gabriele Galantara, or even Louis Marcoussis. Here are gathered 4 albums compiling the first four years of the title, from n ° 1 of April 4, 1901 to n ° 195 of December 24, 1904. 4 volumes, 1901 in 35x27cms format (untrimmed leaves at the bottom) then the next 3 35x25cm. Heterogeneous half-sheepskin binding, ribbed spine, marbled flats and contreplats, garnet leather title piece, leaflets mounted on tabs. 1901 blonde sheepskin, 1902 brown sheepskin then 1903 and 1904 havana sheepskin. Each album is in perfect condition and if there are some rare snags, friction and scratches on the leather on the back, caps and bits as well as normal yellowing due to the papers used and at the time of publication already distant, the whole is in very good condition, the interior is fresh, healthy and perfectly complete. Each issue is in perfect condition and if there are some rare snags, friction and scratches on the leather on the back, caps and bits, the whole is in very good condition, the interior is fresh, healthy and perfectly complete with the rare numbers that are, for example, the Crimes et Châtiments fully illustrated by Vallotton and lithographed (n ° 48).‎
