Sole edition: tales and snippets based on the argot, gossip and jokes of the Porcherons quartier of Paris, at the foot of the slope to Montmartre.

The term 'Poissarde' (literally, a fishwife) refers, in general, to coarse and vulgar language and is frequently to be found in chapbooks of the period. 16mo (130 × 80 mm), pp. 104, [4] plus folding woodcut frontispiece. Numerous wood engraved vignettes. Nineteenth-century red quarter calf. A good copy. [Worlcat: Flanders Heritage Library (Antwerp) only.]. Seller Inventory # 6938
