Oblong quarto. 52pp, [4]. With 103 woodcuts in the text after designs by Grandville. Original publisher's dark green cloth boards, lettered in gilt. Lightly rubbed. Scattered foxing.

A handsome production uniting the incomparable imagery of French caricaturist Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard [pseud. Grandville] (1803-1847) with the celebrated fables of poet and novelist Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian (1755-1794).
