Abstract

en_US This little book exactly matches three others that I have, but they were all published by Bernardin-Béchet et Fils. Their dates are 1869, 1875, and 1885. Those dates have suggested the date of 1890. I presume that Bernardin and Béchet parted ways sometime shortly after the 1885 edition. The two earlier editions among those three were printed by Raçon, and the later 1885 edition by the same printer who did this present edition, Crété in Corbeil. All four of these editions seem to me to stem from the larger-format edition of 1868 (Bodemann #341,1), published by Bernardin-Béchet with no mention of a son to the latter. This latter edition has 120 engravings, while all four of the identical editions claim 100 engravings. Check those four editions for comments on the art.
