GRANDVILLE, J. J. LES FLEURS ANIMEES. 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
