About This Item
New York: Th. Lacombe, May 15, 1852. Printed & decorated paper wraps, sewn..
New York: Th. Lacombe, volume 1, number 1, "15 Mai, 1852." First & probably only edition. Quarto (11.5 x 8.25"), 12 pages printed in two columns plus covers. Original printed & decorated paper wraps, sewn. Text in French & English. OCLC finds a single copy at the New York Historical Society as of 6/4/2023.
Wraps toned, moderate edge wear, old horizontal folds, light foxing, faint signature in the top margin of the upper cover, otherwise very good.
Presumably a short-lived publication & likely the only number issued. Publisher Lacombe served, apparently, as editor & also contributed a sketch entitled "Fleurette." As noted on the verso of the upper wrap, each issue "will contain two plates." This example, with no evidence of removal, is without illustration & was probably distributed as a sample & prospectus.
