Duodecimo cartonnage Romantique embossed paper over boards with shaped diecut insert of chromolith illustration (edges quite worn/some tearout around the chromolith embossed frame/spine tips worn) 168pp pencil inscription on pastedown & remains of wax seals to same. Belongs to the series Bibliotheque Morale de la Jeunesse sadly in a well worn binding (cf. Gumuchian 1080 calling the 1858 printing the First edition even though it is also published by Megard. Also in a cartonage romantique but with a different chromolith).
