WILLETTE Adolphe & COLLECTIF - Le Pierrot
Paris 1888 et 1889, 29x40cm, en feuilles. Edition originale. Collection presque complète de ce rare journal littéraire satirique dirigé et illustré par Adolphe Willette. 49 numéros du 6 juillet 1888 au 20 septembre 1889. Chacun composé de deux feuilles au format in-folio, illustré sur la première page d'une lithographie d'A. Willette et pour certains numéros, de caricatures en troisième page. Ayant pour rédacteur en chef Emile Goudeau, ce journal à la parution annoncée le vendredi (ce qui ne fut pas toujours le cas) comprend des poèmes, des publicités, des petites nouvelles mais sa valeur réside dans les illustrations exclusivement réalisées par Willette. Quelques rousseurs et petites déchirures des bordures sans incidence sur le texte ni l'image. Adolphe Willette est indissociable du quartier Montmartre dont il décora de nombreux cabarets, bistrots et le fameux Moulin Rouge. Peintre tout d'abord, il exposa au Chat Noir après avoir participé à sa création. Par la suite il collabore à de nombreux journaux comme le Rire ou l'Assiette au beurre avant de fonder le Pierrot. Personnage controversé, il se présenta comme candidat antisémite aux élections législatives de 1889 à Paris. Il fut le premier président de la République de Montmartre, association philanthropique destinée à aider les enfants du quartier. - Paris 1888 et 1889, 29x40cm, en feuilles.

Le Pierrot
Paris 1888 and 1889, 29 x 40 cm, unbound.
First edition.
An almost complete set of this rare satirical literary journal headed and illustrated by Adolphe Willette.
49 issues from 6 July 1888 to 20 September 1889, each comprising two folio leaves, the first page with a lithograph by Willette, some with caricatures on page three.
With Emile Goudeau as its editor-in-chief, this journal, nominally published on Fridays (though not always actually published then) includes poetry, ads, and news in brief, but its real value lies in the illustrations, done exclusively for it by Willette.
A little light foxing and small tears to margin not touching images or text.
Adolphe Willette was an inseparable part of Montmartre, where he was responsible for the decoration of a number of cabarets, bistrots and the famous Moulin Rouge. A painter first and foremost, he exhibited at the Chat Noir, having helped to found it. He later worked with a number of newspapers, including le Rire and l'Assiette au beurre, before establishing le Pierrot.
A divisive figure, he stood as an Anti-Semitic candidate in the municipal elections in Paris in 1889. He proclaimed himself first President of the Republic of Montmartre, a philanthropic association aimed at helping the children of that quartier.
