Media Reviews
"Balzac was the master unequalled in the art of painting humanity as it exists in modern society."
First Line
At the time when this story opens, the Stanhope press and the ink-distributing roller had not yet come into use in small provincial printing-houses; and, notwithstanding its paper industry, that linked Angoulême so closely with Paris printing, wooden presses--of the kind to which the figure of speech "to make the press groan" was literally applicable--were still in use in the town.
