Abstract

en_US I came on a Friday to Clignancourt and found this dealer -- and almost no others -- open for business. The special feature of this pair of small (4 x 7) volumes is the hand-colored illustrations. There are many of them! I find between four and six full-page hand-colored illustrations in each of the seven books printed here. Among the best of them are Two Dogs and a Hide (41); Two Doves (50); The Oyster and the Litigants (62); and The Matron of Ephesus (195). I believe that this last story does not appear in this volume! Some of the paint has bled through onto the blank back of the page of these interpaginated pictures. Many of them still retain their protective tissues. I consider this a wonderful find! Pages 5-8 are loose. There is an AI for the whole two volumes closing this book (215-28).
