Le Petit Ménestrel
Paris, Marcilly, [1828], 1829.
1 vol. (20 x 27 mm) of 63 p. Red morocco, smooth spine decorated, rolled fillets and fillet framing the covers, gilt central motif, gilt edges (contemporary binding).
Following the London fashion, numerous almanacs of this kind were published in Paris after the fall of the Empire. Intended for a female clientele, these small pocket — or rather drawing-room — publications vied with one another in delicacy and refinement to please an increasingly demanding public.
From the library of Jean-Paul Kahn.
