Description:
First separate edition of this short tale by Charles Nodier (1780–1844), which first appeared in *Paris, ou Le Livre des cent-et-un* (Ladvocat, 1831) and was subsequently included in *Contes de la veillée*.
A passionate bibliophile and one of the forerunners of Romanticism, Nodier acquired old and rare editions with a taste and discernment that foreshadowed modern bibliophilia.
A lovely copy, very well bound by Carayon.
An edition illustrated by Maurice Leloir, featuring a colour-printed figure on the cover, a frontispiece, a plate and numerous in-text figures, wood-engraved by F. Noël.
Printed in a run of 500 copies, including 150 special editions on Chinese and Japanese paper. This is no. 2 on Chinese paper.
Engravings accompanied by a black-and-white suite.
“A charming and beautiful publication on bibliophilia” Carteret IV, 305.
