Item Overview

Description

In plano : 12 ff. (rouss. passim, large déchir. sans manque et bruniss. au verso du f. 4, qqs défauts marg.). - Rarissime album entièrement lithographié contenant une belle couverture sur papier jaune avec texte "Un mot sur les rêves" au verso et 12 pl. en n/bl divisées en 9 cases, figurant en ombres chinoises 108 songes avec leur interprétation. Par le lithographe, caricaturiste et auteur dramatique français M. Delaporte (1806-1872) qui met ici en scène les rêves les plus fantasmagoriques et leurs tout aussi extravagantes significations ("Faire du jardinage = mariage d'inclination qui vous fera refuser de riches partis", "Aller à cheval = succès dans les affaires", "Être attaqué par des brigands = enfants à venir", "Faire un repas joyeux = estomac malade", "Cueillir des fruits = chagrins amers, douleurs", "Pleurer sur un tombeau = mariage", "Être attaqué par une bête à cornes = disgrâces conjugales", etc. M. Delaporte est ausi l'auteur d'un "Alphabet diabolique" en ombres chinoises, procédé apprécié à l'époque. - Réf. Manque à SUDOC. - Prov. Vicomte Vilain XIIII (ex-libris armorié).
