That one time Grandville threatened to turn his female readers into animals (in Le Magasin Pittoresque, 1844)

The drawing that ends this shipment is a well known pencil game, ingeniously renewed by Grandville. Between the profile of a beautiful head and the most disgracious of our aquatic animals, there seems at first to be no connection possible. Grandville covers the distance, in a few minutes, through an increasing inclination of the line running through the prominent points of the face's build. He claims that through the same procedure he would have the most beautiful of our female readers undergo the same transformation with as much ease, by varying the results and reaching, following the different characteristics of their physiognomies, different degrees of the animal kingdom. We doubt that his challenge will will be accepted, and that this kind of "compared portraits" will ever make the fortune of any artist. The witty author of the Private Life of Animals believes nonetheless to owe some part of his success to this secret that he tells us today. But the knowledge of such secrets is of little use to disciples if their master does not give them, as they say, the manner to use them.

Today, on October 14th, 1991 - Queen Story!

- 'The Show Must Go On' /'Keep Yourself Alive' released in UK on Parlophone

- B-Side: 'Keep Yourself Alive' by Brian May

🔸"'The Show Must Go On' came from Roger and John playing the sequence, and I started to put things down. At the beginning, it was just this chord sequence, but I had this strange feeling that it could be somehow important, and I got very impassioned and went and beavered away at it. I sat down with Freddie, and we decided what the theme should be and wrote the first verse. It's a long story, that song, but I always felt it would be important because we were dealing with things that were hard to talk about at the time, but in the world of music, you could do it."

- Brian May, Interview 1994

👉 Queen's innuendo album (and the majority of subsequent single releases) used illustrations by Grandville which were adapted and coloured.

(Grandville (1803-1847), whose real name was Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard, was a caricaturist later recognized as a grandfather of Surrealism)

PÉNITENCE Un baiser á la Capucine. Ecole de Médecine. Grisettes et Etudians. designed by J. J. Grandville and lithographed by Auguste Desperret. Paris, France, ca. 1834

#I think the english translation of the caption is: #PENANCE A kiss to the Nasturtium. School of Medicine. Grisettes and Students. #Nasturtium is a common name for a genus of flowering plants called Tropaeolum #Grisette is a word for a working class french woman that was used from the late 17th to early 20th century #but the meaning changed over time #The 1835 edition of the Dictionnaire de l'Académie française defined grisette as a young working woman who is coquettish and flirtatious #I've also read that in the mid 19th century a grisette was a young independent french woman #who liked intellectualism and the arts. and spent time around artists especially of the bohemian subculture in paris #anyways I hope the furries like this one #anthropomorphic animals #giraffes #frogs #roosters #dogs #rabbits #is that a goat and a bear idk #animals #Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard Grandville #Grandville #Auguste Desperret #prints #lithographs #lithography #Paris #France #Europe #July Monarchy
