ill. Auguste Vimar. 

Paris: Librairie Plon, No date, but 1894 per BNdeF . Oblong 4to. 

Very Good / No Jacket. 

48 pgs. Blue cloth with pictorial pastedown label with gilt background, pastedown label rubbed, one long scrape, binding slightly shaken, top corner bumped, previous owner's name on endpaper, 2 pages with small archival mends. An imagining of what might have taken place upon Noah's Ark. Illustrated in color on nearly every page. Artwork appears as full-page, partial-page and small vignettes. The vignettes could almost be a pre-cursor to Benjamin Rabier's style. The animals are presented realistically but not without humor and some humanization. It's quite a fun book and an uncommon Noah's Ark.
