Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard (1803-1847) was a French artist and satirist who was known by his pseudonym, J. J. Grandville. In Vie Privée et Publique des Animaux (The Private and Public Lives of Animals), first published in 1842, the animals of the world shake off human oppression and form their own government. Upon closer inspection, some of the beasts appear surprisingly human. This coloring book contains thirty-two high-resolution reproductions of the original illustrations.
