About the Item
Jules Gouffe (1807-1877)
Le Livre de Cusine
Librairie Hachette et Cie
Paris, 1867
Chromolithographs
At the age of 16, Jules Gouffe found his calling as a student of the famous Lent. Gouffe surpassed his master to become an icon of culinary splendor.
This classical work on French cooking is truly a masterpiece both for its recipes and illustrations. With 25 color images and 165 black and white embedded in the text, there was no mistaking the high standards of preparation. A rather adventurous book, it applied instruction to both the domestic and superior kitchen. It would thus be a guide to both the household cook and the highest ranking chef.
Spectacular in both ingredients and composition, it is only fitting to portray the finished dish as a work of art. Appetizer to main course to dessert is shown in the fullest regalia. Approaching a still-life quality, it could be said that many of the dishes look too good to eat!
Written in the narrative structure, Gouffe breaks the single paragraph-long recipe into many, each containing great detail as to ingredients. While quantities are listed, they are mostly within the context of the description and not separated into a separate section. This perhaps verbose style of cookbook has had a bit of a renaissance in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries where the writer is somewhat directly conversing with his audience.
Unparalleled for its beautiful composition of the finished dish, it is to this day unequaled in the matter of practical exactness and painstaking minuteness of detail.

- "Fruit & Flowers, " Original Hand-colored Lithograph signed by Nathaniel CurrierBy Nathaniel CurrierLocated in Milwaukee, WI"Fruit & Flowers" is an original hand-colored lithograph by Nathaniel Currier. It features a still life with grapes, roses, and other botanical objects. The colors are muted blues and yellows. The artist signed the piece in plate lower left. 11 3/4" x 8 1/2" art 22 1/8" x 18" frame Nathaniel Currier was born March 27, 1813 to Nathaniel and Hannah Currier in Roxbury, Massachusetts. At the age of fifteen he was apprenticed to William S. and John Pendleton of Boston who had set up the first lithographic establishment in America. His apprenticeship served him well as he went on to be the largest publisher of lithographs. Mr. Maurer described Nat Currier as being very gentlemanly and liberal. As is evident to the success of the firm of Currier & Ives he was very devoted to his business. Nat Currier had many friends including Horace Greely and P.T. Barnum. He was well known for his sense of humor and Harry T. Peters tells one story about P. T. Barnum. "Currier had heard that one day his friend, the great showman, had rushed into the barber shop of the old Park Hotel, at Beekman and Nassau Streets, to get a shave. Barnum had hurried up to Tom Higginson, the barber, and said, 'Tom, I'm in a hurry.' 'Sorry for it,' said Tom, 'but it's that gentleman's turn next.' 'That gentleman' was an unshaven irshman waiting for a ten-cent shave. Barnum turned to him and said, 'My friend, if you will let me have your turn, I'll pay for what you have done.' The gentleman consented, and, as Barnum found out later, had a full job done - absolutely everything the house had. The check was for a dollar and sixty cents. When Currier heard this story he found the very Irishman and had him pose. The result was the famous cartoon, "The Man that Gave Barnum 'His Turn.'" Nathaniel was married twice; his first wife was Miss Eliza West of Boston. He had one son with Eliza, Edward West Currier. In 1847 he married Miss Laura Ormsbee of Vermont. Laura and Nathaniel are memorialized in the famous N. Currier lithograph The Road Winter...Category
