Description
Paris: Chez Aubert, 1839. With 50 Hand-Colored Lithographs, including Nine by Honoré Daumier and Fifteen by Gavarni [DAUMIER, Honoré, Gavarni, and others, illustrators]. [ALHOY, Maurice, Louis Huart, and Ch[arles] Philipon, editors]. Le Musée pour rire. Dessins par tous les caricaturistes de Paris; Texte par MM. Maurice Alhoy, Louis Huart et Ch. Philipon. Paris: Chez Aubert, Editeur des Cent-et-Un Robert-Macaire, 1839 Volume II only (of 3). First edition. Quarto (10 3/8 x 8 1/8 inches; 265 x 207 mm.). [i-ii, half-title, verso blank], [iii-iv, title, verso blank], [v-vi, Table], [200] pp. With 50 numbered (51-100) hand-colored lithographs heightened with gum arabic by Honoré Daumier (nine), Gavarni (fifteen), Frédéric Bouchot (seventeen), Benjamin [i.e. Benjamin Roubaud] (four), Bourdet (three), Grandville (one) and Edme-Jean Pigal (one). Heavy spotting in places but mainly to text leaves. Plates generally clean. Publisher's silk patterned paper over boards, covers decoratively stamped in gilt, smooth spine decoratively stamped and titled in gilt. Rebacked with the original spine laid down. With the engraved bookplate of author and collector Jaques Robiquet on front paste-down. A reasonably priced album containing fine hand-colored lithographs of Bouchot, Daumier & Gavarni, etc., etc. "The house of Aubert was ingenious in marketing its products. Its lithographs...were published one by one in periodicals like Le charivari and together in suites by the same artist without letterpress. Still a third form of publication was in albums made up of lithographs by several artists with accompanying texts. These collections most commonly took the form of volumes with the generic title Paris comique, which consisted of twenty colored lithographs accompanied by quite unrelated texts. Aubert remarked that the resulting hodgepodge had 'a plan that is easy to follow, for it consists in not having any,' and in fact this was indeed a frugal procedure for reusing old texts and already published plates. The interest of the various volumes of Paris comique resides entirely in the lithographs they happen to contain. It can be considerable, however, since Daumier and Gavarni are the predominant artists. Le musée pour rire represents a more considerable effort on the part of Aubert. To accompany 150 lithographs, including forty-five by Daumier (among them twenty-seven from Croquis d'expression[s] and eight from La galerie physionomique) and forty-two by Gavarni, new commentaries were commissioned on each plate, all except two by Alhoy and Huart. Daumier's lithographs were trimmed slightly, and their captions were relettered. The designs of the other artists were provided with decorative frames. The whole was then published in three handsome volumes, and in copies with expert contemporary coloring like this one, Le musée pour rire is among the freshest and most attractive of romantic illustrated books" (Ray, The Art of the French Illustrated Book). Le Musée pour Rire "contained 150 lithographs by Daumier, Gavarni, Bouchot, Traviès etc. These are re-impressions (some of them in mirror image), which had previously already been used for publication in Le Charivari. Most prints of the series 'Croquis d'expressions' are contained in the book. The name of the series is missing and the texts were printed in a different type than in the original Charivari version. We do not consider these prints original lithographies, but rather prints 'after Daumier'". Ray, The Art of the French Illustrated Book, 164.

Description
1960. Mary Jane Superweed. The Marijuana Consumer's and Dealer's Guide; The Complete Cannabis Cultivator; Drug Manufacturing for Fun and Profit. These late 1960s to early 1970s underground publications document illicit drug knowledge dissemination networks within the American counterculture, specifically the informal systems through which cannabis use, cultivation, and psychedelic drug production were taught, circulated, and normalized outside institutional authority. Produced during the early escalation of the War on Drugs, the material demonstrates how underground presses functioned as alternative educational systems, distributing practical instruction that reframed criminalized substances as accessible commodities, domestic crops, and reproducible chemical processes. The archive provides primary-source evidence for the study of countercultural resistance to drug prohibition, revealing how knowledge-sharing operated through cheaply printed manuals aimed at non-specialist audiences. Superweed, Mary Jane. The Marijuana Consumer's and Dealer's Guide; The Complete Cannabis Cultivator; Drug Manufacturing for Fun and Profit. San Rafael: Stone Kingdom Syndicate, circa late 1960s-early 1970s. Three paperback booklets. [1] Superweed, Mary Jane. The Marijuana Consumer's and Dealer's Guide. San Rafael: Stone Kingdom Syndicate, circa late 1960s-early 1970s. Presents instruction on cannabis use, handling, and small-scale distribution, framing marijuana as a consumer commodity. Cover illustration adapts Michelangelo's Creation of Adam in stylized countercultural line art, juxtaposing classical imagery with drug culture themes. Interior pages include advertisements for related underground publications on psychedelics and herbal substances, indicating participation in a broader informal publishing network. [2] Superweed, Mary Jane. The Complete Cannabis Cultivator. San Rafael: Stone Kingdom Syndicate, circa late 1960s-early 1970s. Subtitled "Everything you need to know about growing pot," this booklet provides step-by-step guidance on planting, tending, and harvesting cannabis. Cover depicts a stylized agricultural figure watering plants, visually aligning cannabis cultivation with domestic gardening practices. Text emphasizes accessibility for non-specialists, reflecting contemporaneous back-to-the-land movements. [3] Superweed, Mary Jane. Drug Manufacturing for Fun and Profit. San Rafael: Stone Kingdom Syndicate, circa late 1960s-early 1970s. Identified as a sequel to the consumer guide, expands into instructions and discussion of synthesizing psychedelic substances, including references to DMT. Cover features a classical nude male figure paired with bold typographic elements referencing drug production, merging high art imagery with illicit subject matter. These booklets were produced within a Bay Area underground press environment that actively circulated drug-related knowledge in opposition to expanding federal narcotics enforcement, including policies that would be formalized under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. Their emphasis on self-production, informal distribution, and chemical literacy aligns with broader countercultural ideologies centered on autonomy, anti-authoritarianism, and experimental living practices. The grouping demonstrates how print functioned as a decentralized instructional system, allowing users to bypass medical, legal, and academic gatekeeping. Moderate toning, edge wear, and scattered surface staining consistent with cheaply produced paperbacks; covers intact; text remains legible throughout. Overall good condition. This cohesive archive offers concentrated evidence of how underground publishing networks operationalized drug knowledge during a formative period in American drug policy and countercultural identity formation.
