The book is largely just reproductions of the illustrations of Grandville, but for a book that is mostly pictures it is very poorly laid out. You have to continuously turn the book to look at the pictures properly, and the explanatory text is pages away. While Grandville's illustrations themselves are charming and surreal, they can also be extremely sexist and some of them very obscure. Maybe if you're *really* into caricatures you might enjoy them, but lacking context it wasn't very good in my
Amazing. Simply incredible.
This is a classic and totally overlooked by the mainstream literature folk. Can not understand why, in my opinion he ranks up there with Aesop.Grandville is a genius as an illustrator and caricaturist but that's just for starters.French title is better: Scènes de la vie privée et publique des animaux
This an excellent collection of the illustrations by J.J. Grandville, done originally for the two books Un Autre Monde and Les Animaux. Queen fans will recognize a good number of the images, as they were used for the album Innuendo and its singles.
