‎Deux jolis albums de dessins dont certains à laquarelle ou au crayon de couleurs réalisés lors dun voyage majoritairement en Bretagne aux alentours de 1858. Les dessins qui relèvent plutôt dun niveau amateur sont néanmoins fidèles et représentent de nombreux lieux dont: Saint-Malo (6 dessins: «vue de saint Malo des hauteurs de Dinard», «rade de saint Malo, N.E.», «tombeau de Chateaubriand et rade N.E.», «St Malo vue du grand Bé», «St Malo de la terre ferme» et «rade de St Malo, tombe de Chateaubriand et fort impérial»), Landernau (1 dessin), Saint Servan (1 jolie vue détaillée de la rade avec la tour Solidor, le bourg et un vaisseau), Dinan (3 dessins: «vue générale», «château de Dinan» et «porte de la ville»), Morlaix (2 dessins dont 1 vue générale), Vernon (4 dessins dont «entrée de la ville», Granville (2 dessins: «vue de la rade, plan rapproché», «vue de la rade, plan éloigné»), Saint-Brieuc (2 dessins: «maison des Capucins à St Brieuc côté ouest» , «St Brieuc vue est au ravin»), Taden (1 dessin: «ruines du château de la Garaye près Dinan (1858)» avec rehauts de jaune, cette datation permet de dater le reste de l'album de la même main), et enfin quelques dessins des Pyrénées, Notre-Dame de la Salette, Boulogne sur mer et ses environs ou encore Dieppe (falaise) etc. En plus de ces nombreuses vues, les albums contiennent quelques scènes de vie locales («les bourbonnais», «Boulogne sur mer, le bain» etc.) mais aussi pelle-mêle des portraits de femmes en costume, dun enfant («Paul, 1854»), quelques croquis, caricatures (dont certains en couleur) et même une «fleur de la Salette» cueillie sur place. Beaux carnets de dessins du XIXe siècle dun style naïf mais authentique et agréable. 2 vol. oblong 8-vo (150 x 235 mm) of : 56 drawings in pencil, watercolor and colored pencil. Half-basin, boards covered with embossed paper imitating chagrin, one fawn, the other green, inscriptions "Album" cold-stamped and gilt in the center of the boards, smooth spines, one with gilt floral frieze. Two nice albums of drawings, some of them in watercolor or colored pencil, made during a trip mostly in Brittany around 1858. The drawings which are rather of an amateur level are nevertheless faithful and represent many places of which: Saint-Malo (6 drawings: "view of Saint Malo from the heights of Dinard", "bay of Saint Malo, N.E.", "tomb of Chateaubriand and bay N.E. ", " St Malo view from the Grand Bé ", " St Malo from the mainland " and " St Malo roadstead, Chateaubriand's tomb and imperial fort "), Landernau (1 drawing), Saint Servan (1 nice detailed view of the roadstead with the Solidor tower, the town and a ship), Dinan (3 drawings: "general view", "Dinan castle" and "city gate"), Morlaix (2 drawings including 1 general view), Vernon (4 drawings including "city entrance", Granville (2 drawings: "view of the roadstead, close-up", "view of the roadstead, distant view"), Saint-Brieuc (2 drawings: "house of the Capuchins in St Brieuc west side" Taden (1 drawing: "ruins of the castle of Garaye near Dinan (1858)" with yellow highlights, this dating allows to date the rest of the album by the same hand), and finally some drawings of the Pyrenees, Notre-Dame de la Salette, Boulogne sur mer and its surroundings or Dieppe (cliff) etc. In addition to these numerous views, the albums contain some scenes of local life (" the bourbonnais ", "Boulogne sur mer, the bath " etc.) but also portraits of women in costume, of a child (" Paul, 1854 "), some sketches, caricatures (some of them in color) and even a " flower of the Salette " picked on the spot. Beautiful albums of drawings of the XIXth century of a naive but authentic and pleasant style.‎
