Le Petit Chansonnier de l’enfance
Paris, Marcilly, 1830.
1 vol. (20 x 23 mm) of 64 p. Red morocco, smooth spine decorated, rolled fillets and fillet framing the covers, gilt central motif, gilt edges (contemporary binding).
Illustrated with 8 full-page engravings.
Following the London fashion, numerous almanacs of this kind were published in Paris after the fall of the Empire. Aimed at a female clientele, these small pocket — or rather drawing-room — publications vied in delicacy and refinement to please an increasingly demanding public.
From the library of Jean-Paul Kahn.
