First edition. Oblong folio (9 15/16 x 12 15/16 inches; 253 x 329 mm.). Pictorial hand colored lithograph title-page and thirty hand-colored lithographed plates, heightened with gum Arabic, presenting a satirical view of the life of the French contingent in Algeria.

CHAM, pseudonym of Charles Amédée de Noé (1818-1879). "It is to be regretted that space will not serve to represent the caricaturists and depictors of manners who followed in the wake of Daumier and Gavarni. Among the most attractive of the former is Amédée de Noé, known as Cham (that is, Ham, the son of Noah) of whom it was said that he had ‘an idea a day' for Le charivari. A good proportion of his thousands of lithographs were gathered into albums. His contributions to the Album du siège , in which Daumier was his collaborator, are typical of his work" (Ray, The Art of the French Illustrated Book, pp. 155-156).
