Hardcover in red linen with black decoration and gilded title and illustration on front. The cover and spine are worn at the bottom. Gilded edges. The contents are slightly loose but in good state. Light foxing on title page. 25 x 32,5 cm, unpaged [48 pp. ]. With engravings after watercolours by Jules Maurel. The illustrations by Jules Maurel can be seen as a transition between traditional French illustration and the early British style. The soft colours and genteel costumes show the influence of illustrators like Kate Greenaway. The book contains twelve lovely stories in French.
