1940? 12 pages of Florian’s fables with black-and-white illustrations. 29-40. Artist’s signature unclear. Source unknown.
This is a curious find. The seller’s attached note says that she does not know the author. “Another amateur has passed before me.” Efforts to match these pages with an edition we have have failed thus far. The page illustrated here (29) gives a good sense of the style of illustration, which tends, I would say, in the direction of cartoon.
1890? 11 broadsides labelled “Imagerie Artistique.” Numbered. From Bailly, Paris, June, '17, for €147. TMCM and "Ass Carrying Relics" for €20 each from Bouquinistes, July, '23.
These broadsides are identical with those listed here as from Maison Quantin, except that they add two sets of information at the top of each broadside: on the left, “Imagerie Artistique” along with a series number and number within that series. At the right-hand top one finds “Imprimerie-Librairie Quantin, 7, Rue Saint-Benoit, Paris.”
