A passionate bibliophile and one of the precursors of Romanticism, Nodier acquired old and rare editions with a taste and standards that foreshadowed modern bibliophilia.
A lovely copy, beautifully bound by Carayon.
Edition illustrated by Maurice Leloir with a colour-printed figure on the cover, a frontispiece, a plate and numerous in-text figures, wood-engraved by F. Noël.
Printed in an edition of 500 copies, including 150 special editions on Chinese and Japanese paper. This is no. 2 on Chinese paper.
