About this Item

Quarter red tilt decorated leather over marbled boards, Small 4to. 310pp. Frontispiece & 24 steel engraved hand colored plates representing anthropomorphic vegetables in various situations. One of the masterpieces of romantic caricature. The narrator discovers on the Boulevards des Marechauds in Paris, an unknown world, that of the empire of vegetables governed by Cucurtitus I, in which we recognize Napoleon III and his government. Prophetic satire. A beautiful, very near fine copy. Sporadic foxing throughout affecting some plates. Text in French. Seller Inventory # ABE-1625178703147
