This exceptional set is completed by six autograph letters signed by Adrien Moreau, Charpentier and Arcos, and several documents and prints related to the edition.

Unique copy established by the publisher and great bibliophile Léon Conquet in the margin of the illustrated edition of Militona by Zola by Adrien Moreau (1843-1906).
