Publication details: Paris: [De L'Imprimerie de Richomme]; Bureau de Panorama;1817-1818,
Rare Book
An attractive, amusing and extensive work of (gentle) French satire against the English, published in 25 short issues. The work is widely observant of English traits and social activities; football, parliament, the theatre, dancing, the monarchy, the principal aristocracy and court customs are all covered. The hand-coloured plates are particularly well done; they send up English customs, fashion and manners, and poke scatalogical fun at the military.
1817-1818, pp. [2], 332; [2], 600, 8vo.; original pink printed paper wrappers preserved within full contemporary tree calf, rebacked, original backstrip, gilt tooled with red label, blue sprinkled edges; bookseller's printed paper label (Gambier, Brussels) appearing several times (sometimes across the text), ex-library copy with the occasional blue or orange stamp.
