Remark:
This seems to be the earliest Girardet edition I have published by Mame. The edition seems to have begun in 1857 and to have been reprinted with a few corrections in 1860. Bodemann's next edition in this item is 1878. This copy would fit before that edition. It is a fine copy, with excellent illustrations. Picture after picture shows fine detail, though all are unfortunately small. Were all of these editions small like this one (almost 4 x 5¾)? The book is inscribed in 1875. The page-edges are gilt.
