About This Item
Paris: Librairie Louis Janet, 1842. Hardcover. Very Good. With 30 full-page plates, and 58 wood engravings in the text by Henry Monnier.. Octavo, [i-iv], 231pp., contemporary quarter leather, extra gilt, satiny boards, marbled endpapers, foxing.
Satirical look at French working-people. Monnier's illustrations reflect his pre-occupation with the bourgeois -he created the immortal character of Joseph Prudhomme. His caricatures are continued here, but with Bedollierre's serious text, including the chapter on French sewers and sewer workers, "L'Egouttier", which is in the era covered by Victor Hugo's LES MISERABLES. [ Champfleury, 324; Brivois, 224]. With 30 full-page plates, and 58 wood engravings in the text by Henry Monnier. [ Goldsmith-Kress 32715.9].

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
