This book is in French..
It is illustrated with a number of engravings by Charles Vernier
(1813 – 1894) who was an illustrator for the French satirical newspaper Le
Charivari.
Quarter leather. Boards are marked but sound.
Patterned endpapers front and rear.
There is a little bit of writing (names) at the top of the 2nd
and 3rd leaves – see 4th photo.
There is quite a bit of foxing – especially around the plates.
But generally the book is clean.
This is a rare original printed in 1874 and with the great
illustrations by Vernier.
