[Rarebooks] fs: Diderot on Acid...

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

If you ever wondered how Diderot's meticulous, step-by-step drawings would 
deal with a French 20th century street riot, a striptease show, or a window 
washer, well... here is your chance to find out.


PETIT SUPPLEMENT a l'ENCYCLOPEDIE DE DIDEROT & d'ALEMBERT...

by Jacques Carelman.
Paris; Chez Ballard, editeur: 1971.

Master of the Absurd and Silly, artist Jacques Carelman delights in 
creating objects and "inventions" that are logical, but supremely over the 
top -like his radio controlled iron... In this inventive romp he takes a 
look at some fairly mundane 20th century objects and situations, but he 
does it through the eyes, and in the graphic style of, the creators of the 
famous 18th century "Encyclopedie", Diderot and d'Alembert. If you ever 
wondered how Diderot's meticulous, step-by-step drawings would deal with a 
French 20th century street riot, a striptease show, or a window washer, 
well... here is your chance to find out.  I cannot recommend this farce 
highly enough.

Hardcover. 10"x14.5", 161 pages, more or less; b/w illustrations; light
