Caudieux by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec - 1893.

Toulouse-Lautrec delivers a rather unflattering portrait of the café-concert artist, Caudieux, in this poster advertising the star's performance. Caudieux's talents lay as a comic and the artist has certainly made him a figure of fun here: he's shown as an ageing performer, portly and overly made up, mincing across the stage with pursed lips. Caudieux was known as the 'Human Cannon' which perhaps explains why Toulouse-Lautrec has chosen to depict him in motion. - V&A

Grand Théâtre de l'Exposition - 1889.

"For children visiting the Paris World's Fair, there was a whole Kiddie Show with plenty to see and do. An enchanting Cherette announces the entertainments with trumpet and drum, accompanied by a symbol-clanging little clown. The location in the large fairgrounds is easy to find, 'At the foot of the (Eiffel) Tower on the Suffren side.' Rare!" (Rennert, PAI-XXIII, 207)

 

"The achievement of Cheret was to create a world of explosive happiness, and to paste it on the walls of Paris. As a painter he will be remembered for what Huysmans calls his 'spirit of nervous gaiety', as a lithographer for his superb technique, and as a poster artist for being the ancestor of all modern advertising." (Abdy p.36)

A witch surfing on a sieve. Mezzotint by C. Turner, 1807, after J.J. Halls.

Punchinello-graphy of England by John M. Wauthier - 1808.

"In this beautifully engraved game, each English or Welsh county is represented by a grotesque portrait of a character from history, literature or folklore; a numbered list appears in the left hand margin. Counters with these characters’ names (which may have been printed, or may have been handwritten, but are not present here) were picked from a bag. The player then had to name the county and repeat the list of principal towns given in the rules. Failure gave other players the chance to complete the list and win the token. The rules suggest awarding ‘some present’ to the winner, to ‘awaken emulation’ in the breast of the other pupils. With the exception of Tom Thumb, who represents Rutland (England’s smallest county) there is no obvious connection between the characters and the locations: Cardinal Wolsey has no obvious connection with Radnor, the demonised radical MP John Wilkes none with Gloucestershire and I can think of nothing which links Joan of Arc with Yorkshire. Some historical figures would have figured more prominently in popular culture than now: ‘Obi, or 3 Finger’d Jack’, or Jack Mansong, led a slave revolt in 1770s Jamaica and featured in plays, novels and broadsides. King Lear is drawn from Shakespeare, Squire Weston and Parson Thwackum from Fielding and Sir Fretful Plagiary from Sherridan. Surprisingly, perhaps, none of these characters are described in the rules, and learning about them is not part of the game. Percy Muir cites the game as an example of the ‘more lively titles’ which began to appear in the early 19th century, promising ‘something more palatable to juvenile taste’. - Tim Bryars, 2020

Richard Dadd, Sketch of an Idea for Crazy Jane - 1855

Buy from Us with a Golden Curl (frontispiece to 'Goblin Market and other Poems' by Christina Rossetti) 1862, After Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

The drawing was finished by mid-December but it took until April 1862 Charles Faulkner's related wood engraving to be completed and published. The fairytale-like imagery echoes the related verse, which tells how goblins offer two sisters magic fruit, a food that symbolizes temptation. The artist shows the plainly dressed Lizzie walking uphill at upper right as Laura, in a patterned gown, kneels in the foreground and clips a lock of her luxurious hair to pay the animal-headed goblins crowded at left. The poem dramatically details how Laura's subsequent cravings bring her close to death, and how Lizzie's resistance enables her to confront the goblins and save her sister. - The Met
