La Caricature was the 19th Century equivalent and the precursor of Charlie Hebdo. The editor Charles Philipon employed the major satirical artists of the mid-19th Century notably Daumier, Grandville, E. Forest, Charlet, Bellangé , Traviès, Raffet and Gavarni. It appeared for five years, between 1830-1835. The main subjects of the caricatures were Louis-Philippe and his entourage of July Monarchy politicians. Louis-Philippe, son of the Duke of Orléans, came to power after the 1830 Revolution as the Citizen King. However, he was not amused by the caricatures and once put Daumier in prison for 6 months, before suppressing the whole publication in 1835. He became more and more authoritarian and was finally forced to abdicate during the 1848 Revolution. The plates are numbered 1-524, but approximately 62 are double sheets so there are actually 462 separate prints. Georges Vicaire catalogued the 251 issues and 524 plates in 1895. However they have never been reproduced in a catalogue, nor has there been an English language discussion or catalogue of the corpus of prints Alan Wofsy Fine Arts of San Francisco will be publishing the first illustrated catalogue of all the lithographs that were published in La Caricature, 1830-1835 in the Spring of 2017. All of the works are described in French and English and are arranged in the order they appeared in the original publication. There is an index by artist and the catalogue by Georges Vicaire from 1895 is also included. Many of the artists contributed anonymously and were not identified by Vicaire but are now identified. Where there were no descriptions of the plates in the original publication (about 60 of the 462), this new edition now provides descriptions in French. There are essays in English are by Gordon Norton Ray and Edwin De Turck Bechtel and in French by Henri Beraldi and Georges Vicaire The general editor and designer is Corine Labridy-Stofle, a PhD candidate at the University of California, Berkeley. Melissa Bender, PhD, a lecturer at the University of California, Davis, and Joanna Oseman, a professional translator, have provided insightful English language descriptions of each of the caricatures. Alan Hyman, the editor of many catalogues raisonnés, is the Lektor. ________________________ Au XIXe siècle, La Caricature fut l'équivalent et le précurseur de Charlie Hebdo. Charles Philipon, son téméraire éditeur, y a rassemblé les grands plus artistes satiriques du milieu du siècle, notamment Daumier, Grandville, E. Forest, Charlet, Bellangé et Gavarni. Elle fut publiée pendant cinq ans, entre 1830-1835. Les principaux sujets des caricatures furent Louis Philippe et son entourage de politiciens, intronisés lors de la Monarchie de Juillet. Surnommé le Roi citoyen, Louis Philipe, fils du duc d'Orléans, arriva au pouvoir après la révolution de 1830. Malmené par Philipon et ses caricaturistes dès le début de son gouvernement, Louis Philipe n'était pas amusé par les dessins humoristiques qui le représentaient bien souvent sous les traits d'une poire. De rage, il fit même incarcérer Daumier, pendant 6 mois, puis bâillonnât enfin la publication pour de bon en 1835. Le Roi citoyen fut finalement forcé d'abdiquer lors de la révolution de 1848. Les planches sont numérotées de 1 à 524, mais environ 62 d'entre elles sont des planches doubles. Il y a donc 462 estampes distinctes.
