Beschreibung

A charming and detailed observational work, looking into the stereotypical characters seen throughout France. Delicately illustrated with upwards of two hundred and thirty engravings, drawn on the wood by Gavarni, H. Monnier and Meissonier, and engraved by Lavieille. With an introduction to front by Jules Janin and sections on people such as The Parisian Lady, The Grisette, The Speculator, The Artist's Friends and The Peer of France. In a green cloth binding with handwritten spine label. Externally, generally sound, although with slight bumping and rubbing to extremities. As well as gentle sunning to the spine label. Internally, generally firmly bound although slightly strained in places. Bright throughout and generally clean, although with the odd instances of light foxing to the plates. Very Good.
