Sobre este artículo
Two porcelain cards: 1- Brussels, E. Judenne Lith., 1849. Size c. 14 x 20,5 cm. A lovely card in various colours showing satirical illustrations.
2 - Brussels, Hannotiau, Lith., 1851. Size c. 13,5 x 18,5 cm. A lovely card in various colours showing a trompe l'oeuil of various 'magazines'.
Le Charivari is a French illustrated satirical journal that was published between 1832 and 1937. In 1838 a first edition of Le Charivari is published in Brussels. The French Charivari was carried over the border into Belgium. A local artist made copies of the illustrations on a virgin lithographic stone. The paper was then published a few days later. The editorial content was used without important changes but the advertisement part was adjusted and specifically printed to satisfy the Belgian readership. This was most likely an unauthorised publication of course with subscribers. These cards must have been handed out to the subscribers at the beginning of each year by the distributors, probably for a small financial recompense. In the same way the French postal workers still go from door to door to give away calendars in return for a small amount of money.
Porcelain-cards or were mainly produced in Belgium in the nineteenth century (between 1825 and the 1870's). They are called porcelain-cards because they look a bit like porcelain. They were printed in lithography on a white background of paper with kaolin or lead white. Their production gradually stopped in the 1870's because of the health hazards for printers. They are technical masterpieces of the so-called chromolithography just after its invention. [c.f. www.daumier.org].

Sobre Knuf Rare Books
Knuf Rare books was founded in the 1950s by Frits Knuf in the Netherlands. After an apprenticeship with Frits I took over the firm in 1996 which we then moved to France in 2001 where we are still based. The business is run from our home in Lavardin, one of the most beautiful villages of France located in the Loire Valley, that can easily be reached from Paris. Visitors are most welcome, but by appointment please. I am interested in the History of the Book and have a good inventory of rare and uncommon printed books, ephemeral items, prints and manuscripts from the incunable period to the twentieth century. My stock is especially strong in early auction- and library catalogues, type specimens, continental printer’s and engravers manuals, calligraphy manuals. Another interest is early continental architecture books and early art auction catalogues. Every year I issue two fully illustrated and annotated printed catalogues that are sent out upon request. In addition to that I also send out short email lists every week with a selection of books about books from our stock. And of course, I exhibit at several major international book fairs, such as New York, Boston and Paris. We work mainly with institutional customers, and are happy to discuss special institutional requirements. I adhere strictly to the professional standards and code of conduct of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers and the Syndicat national de la Librairie Ancienne et Moderne (SLAM), and the Compagnie Nationale des Experts (CNE) to which I belong. I have been an international rare book dealer for over 25 years and am a member of the Nederlands Genootschap van Bibliofielen. If you want to buy or sell single books or whole collections, have an expert valuation or if would just like some advice, please do not hesitate to contact me.
