First edition illustrated with 51 colour drawings by the painter, engraver and illustrator Pierre Vidal (1849-1916). A delightful wander through the cafés, brasseries, balls, tables d'hôtes, cabarets and restaurants, from the Bouillon Duval to the Maison Dorée, via the Eiffel Tower, the Chat Noir and the Moulin Rouge, to discover the gastronomic and festive customs of the capital during the Belle Époque. It was written by Emile Goudeau (1849-1906), founder of the famous Cercle des Hydropathes and a great connoisseur of Parisian bohemia at the time. Unique edition of 138 numbered copies on Vélin des Vosges paper, this one N°114. A precious copy enriched on the justification with an autograph signed letter from the publisher Béraldi to John Grand Carteret (1850-1927), journalist, great collector and pioneer in the field of iconology. Splendid emblematic binding signed by Charles Meunier, the master of his art.
