Abstract

en_US It pained me to pay over £33 for shipping, but this book is still a wonderful addition to the collection. It offers twenty broadsides, numbered 1201-1220. I find no indication of artist or date. Our collection already has an individual broadside from this publisher, and I have now ordered several others. The great thing about this addition, together with our two copies of Album 2, is that these albums give us the broadsides from this publishing house that rivals those by Pellerin, Imagerie Artistique, Quantin, and Imageries Réunies de Jarville-Nancy. About 11" x 15". There is something curious about this artistic approach: faces of animals seem to be differently conceived and executed. They are surely different from the human faces here. Notice the secondary illustration for GA (#2012), showing mother leading child. OF (#2013) strikes me especially. In the primary image, there is the arrogant parent and the pleading child. In the secondary image we see the dying parent frog. Though I have not been able to find it or other Imagerie Nouvelle illustrations in our collection, I live with the sense that I have seen this portrayal of LM, for example, before. Where? This is Album 1, and it seems to fit perfectly with one of our copies of Album 2. I have established online that individual broadsides included here also appeared from the publisher without the identifying numbers.
