Benjamin Rabier - Scènes de la vie privée des animaux - 1926

Superb edition of this illustrated album by Benjamin Rabier, consisting of a succession of color plates featuring anthropomorphized animals whose behaviors playfully mirror human vices, habits, ambitions and emotions -

The work draws the reader into the imagined intimacy of a vast animal folk where dogs, cats, ducks, rabbits, horses, roosters, frogs, birds and many other creatures live situations inspired by daily life, family relationships, friendships, rivalries, clumsiness and small domestic dramas -

Each scene forms a kind of tableau of manners where humor arises from the contrast between the animals' basic nature and the deeply human attitudes they adopt. Rabier observes social behaviors with finesse and translates them into a light, whimsical universe where the animals become actors in a genuine social comedy -
