VOYAGE OU IL PLAIRA, par Tony Johannot, Alfred de Musset et P.-J. Stahl. Paris, Hetzel,1843. Large in-8, blue half-maroquin with long grain and corners, spine ribbed and decorated, gilt head, untrimmed, illustrated cover kept (E. Maylander). First edition. 63 woodcut plates and vignettes in the text after Tony Johannot. "A superbly executed work, charming as text and illustration" (Carteret, III, p. 596). The text is almost entirely the work of the publisher Jules Hetzel, under the pseudonym of P.-J. Stahl. The imaginative illustration by Tony Johannot contributes to make this book the rival of Grandville's Un autre monde among the best fantasy productions of the time. This copy is enriched with 15 of the 33 illustrated covers and a prospectus also illustrated (4 pages).
