Original publisher's midnight blue percaline with elaborate polychromatic decoration, front boards with elaborate gilt decorative oval titles to surround central vignettes, matching gilt vignettes to rear covers, smooth spines with elaborate decorative tooling and titles in gilt, all with additional colour heightening, cream glazed endpapers (vol. 1) and yellow (vol. 2), a.e.g. The most desirable issue of 'Perles et Parures' with the hand-coloured plates on vélin 'découpés en dentelles' and in the original polychromatic percaline bindings. Published under the collective title 'Perles et Parures', these first editions of 'Les Joyaux Fantaisie' (with 'Minéralogie des Dames') and 'Les Parures Fantaisie' (with 'Histoire de la Mode'), are here in the most desirable form, with Gavarni's plates printed on vélin, delicately hand- coloured and with the leaves stencil-cut to a lace pattern to form delicate frames and backed with pink paper. The two volumes contain jewel- and fashion-inspired texts with matching illustration, as stated by Ray: 'They are studies of beautiful women, fashionably attired . which were drawn in London'. ' . more appealing [than the normal edition] is this special edition in which the steel engravings are printed and delicately colored on paper with borders cut to various lace patterns. So presented, Gavarni's designs become fashion plates of the first order.' (Ray). 'La réunion des deux ouvrages avec les gravures à marges de dentelles est assez rare à recontrer.' (Carteret).
