Un autre monde (full text)

Un autre monde (Another world) is a book by French illustrator Grandville, first published in 1844 by H. Fournier.

The album is subtitled Transformations, visions, incarnations, ascensions, locomotions, explorations, pérégrinations, excursions, stations, cosmogonies, fantasmagories, rêveries, folâtreries, facéties, lubies, métamorphoses, zoomorphoses, lithomorphoses, métempsycoses, apothéoses et autres choses

The fantastic metamorphoses of plants, animals and humans caused him to be revindicated as a surrealist avant la lettre by Breton.
