(SOME MORE!) Un Autre Monde by the 19th century French caricaturist J.J. Grandville. He was a subject of study by Baudelaire and Walter Benjamin and also admired by the Surrealist Circle in 1920s Paris, where his personified objects, animals and vegetation were seen as precursors to surrealist imagery. Un Autre Monde was printed in 1844 and is one of the oldest books in our collection. -ds
