- Abstract
- en_US This book is a curiosity. It is made up principally of the 24 cards published and distributed by Phosphatine Falières and printed by Devambez in Paris.. It adds to the cards a leather set of covers, a title-page, a frontispiece of Florian, and -- at the back of the book -- a T of C. It has further a page before the frontispiece to be filled in with the name of the recipient: "Offert a M…par la Maison Chassaing." "Maison Chassaing" sent me on a merry chase on the web. I come away thinking that there are associations here with fine dining and particularly wedding feasts, but that is only an impression. The surprising thing for me is that this "book" is not a homemade album of the complete set but a "professional gift" made up by Falières and given away by a more local entrepreneur. The good news for our collection is that the book brings together into a full set individual items otherwise found in distinct groupings. See these under trade cards at https://www.creighton.edu/aesop/artifacts/cards/tradecards/nonstock/nstradecardseries/phosphatinefalieres/phosphatinefloriancolored/. Compare there the home-made album, for which I paid about five times as much!
