Frontispiece, repeated vignette on the four titles, 12 special titles, each with a different vignette, and 320 woodcut plates after Gavarni. "Important work, presenting an original work drawn again by the artist after his lithographs; the whole gives a good idea of Gavarni's talent and of the mores of his time [...] Very rare in good condition" (Carteret, III, p. 262). Covers with small snags and losses restored to the spines; a little short of the outer margin, they have been doubled to fit the leaves.
