Grandville's celebrated Les Métamorphoses du Jour transforms a visit to an orthopedic clinic into pointed social commentary. A parrot-headed practitioner gestures toward an alarming treatment apparatus while reassuring concerned parents (an elegant crane and dignified horse) about their young son's prognosis. The caption reads: \"Be without worry, Sir; two months of treatment, and I will return your son to you as straight as you and me.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrandville (1803-1847) was the undisputed master of anthropomorphic satire, whose imaginative fusion of human and animal forms influenced generations of artists from Tenniel's Alice illustrations to Disney animation. This plate comes from the prestigious 1854 posthumous edition published by Gustave Havard, featuring delicate hand-applied watercolors that bring Grandville's witty social observations to vibrant life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standout piece for collectors of French Romantic illustration, nineteenth-century satire, or the rich tradition of animal caricature that Grandville helped define.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5\" x 10.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e J.J.
