About this Item

First edition. A nice signed binding by Pagnant with three quarter brown leather, and brown marbled boards. Simple gilt titles to the spine. A little rubbing to the edges of the binding, but overall in good, clean condition. Marbled end papers. The first blank end paper has been reinforced with archival tape. The work is in three parts. Each holds 30 issues of Le Trombinsocope. Parts one and two have separate title page, list of subjects and adverts. (part three does not). Each issue is four pages. The first having an engraved top border title, and a caricature of the subject by Lafosse. There are then three (and a bit) pages of text. Please note - all of the caricatures in this copy are in their uncoloured state. The pages (and particularly the first few) have moderate foxing to them. A wide range of subjects, including politicians, monarchs, military and engineering notables etc. A few of the subjects have a framed statement instead of a caricature, stating that the image that should be there has been censored by the state. A nice collection of satires. 360 pages. 28cm x 18.5cm. .
