- Constructions n°31 : Meubles & accessoires

Olivier-Pinot | Épinal s. d. [circa 1880-1900] | 39 x 49 cm Olivier-Pinot | Épinal s. d. [circa 1880-1900] | 39 x 49 cm | Image d\'Épinal, lithographie couleurs, grand format, imprimée sur papier fort. Une petite déchirure restaurée en marge (2 cm) sans aucune atteinte à la gravure, sinon très bel état, couleurs très bien conservées. Ces planches sont des constructions ou maquettes en carton, sur lesquelles un patron était imprimé. Ce patron doit être découpé puis assemblé pour construire divers objets ou scènes de vie.  L\'imagerie d\'Épinal publia plusieurs séries de modèles à découper dont les ""Grandes Constructions"" au format de 39 x 49 cm, les ""Moyennes Constructions"" et les ""Petites Constructions"". De 1880 à 1908, des constructions furent éditées avec pour objets l\'architecture, les costumes, les bateaux et divers véhicules. Durant cette même période, les théâtres de papier ou ""théâtre chez soi"" connurent également un grand succès. Ce modèle de jouet se développa et perdura jusqu\'à la seconde Guerre Mondiale.  ?Vendues autrefois par des colporteurs, les images d\'Épinal doivent leur nom à Jean-Charles Pellerin, qui fut le premier imprimeur à éditer en série ce type d\'image, et qui habitait la ville d\'Épinal (Vosges). Les sujets sont très variés mais généralement tournent autour de la religion, de l\'histoire (Révolution française, batailles, uniformes militaires), ou tirés de romans à succès. L\'imagerie d\'Épinal prend ses origines dans l\'imagerie, art populaire né au XVème siècle destiné principalement au public illettré des campagnes. À l\'origine, l\'image est gravée sur une planche de bois et l\'impression s\'effectue à l\'aide d\'une presse à bras. Elle est ensuite mise en couleur au moyen de pochoirs. Au XIXème siècle, on réalise à partir des bois gravés des moulages en plomb : les stéréotypes, qui permettent d\'augmenter la production. En 1820, on passe à la lithographie, qui induit un changement de style radical, des dessins plus fins. En 1900, la mise en couleurs se fait toujours au pochoir, grâce à une machine qui peut colorier 300 images à l\'heure, l\'Aquatype. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] Épinal print, colour lithograph, large format, printed on thick paper. A small repaired tear in the margin (2 cm) without any damage to the print, otherwise very fine condition, colours very well preserved. These sheets are cardboard constructions or models, on which a pattern was printed. This pattern must be cut out then assembled to build various objects or life scenes. The Épinal printing house published several series of cut-out models including the ""Grandes Constructions"" in 39 x 49 cm format, the ""Moyennes Constructions"" and the ""Petites Constructions"". From 1880 to 1908, constructions were published featuring architecture, costumes, boats and various vehicles. During this same period, paper theatres or ""théâtre chez soi"" also enjoyed great success. This toy model developed and lasted until the Second World War. Once sold by peddlers, Épinal prints owe their name to Jean-Charles Pellerin, who was the first printer to publish this type of print in series, and who lived in the town of Épinal (Vosges). The subjects are very varied but generally revolve around religion, history (French Revolution, battles, military uniforms), or drawn from successful novels. Épinal imagery has its origins in popular art born in the 15th century intended primarily for the illiterate public of the countryside. Originally, the image is engraved on a wooden block and printing is done using a hand press. It is then coloured by means of stencils. In the 19th century, lead casts were made from the engraved wood blocks: stereotypes, which allowed production to be increased. In 1820, lithography was adopted, which induced a radical change in style, with finer drawings. In 1900, colouring was still done by stencil, thanks to a machine that could colour 300 images per hour, the Aquatype. *
