[Charles Agvent]

 From our new catalog:

GRANDVILLE, J. J. LES METAMORPHOSES DU JOUR. Paris: Garnier Freres, 
1867. New Edition. Two quarto (7" x 10-3/4") volumes bound in half green 
calf leather with gilt lettering and green marbled boards. Illustrated 
with 52 superb anthropomorphic hand-colored plates (including 2 title 
pages), 2 black-and-white plates, and numerous wood-engravings in the 
text, all after J. J. Grandville. Text by several contributors. 
Grandville was a caricaturist best known for presenting animals and 
flowers in human form and using them to satirize the French social and 
political milieu of his period. Foxing to the text, but the color plates 
are quite clean. A few plates loose or detached in the second volume. 
Very Good set of this classic. (#017985)        $1,000.00
