Description

Garniers Freres, n.d. (c.1865). Thick quarto, 551 pages. Later edition, revised and enlarged by Quitard, with fifty hand-colored wood engraved plates and numerous black and white wood engravings. In a contemporary gilt-stamped quarter red morocco binding with blind stamped red cloth-covered boards. As with his other children's books, Grandville has metamorphosed humans, animals and plants to illustrate the fanciful stories. A lovely copy of this significant work of 19th century French illustration.
