EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED DELLOYE, H.-L. (editor).
Chants et chansons populaires de la France [– notices par M. du Mersan], première [– deuxième; – troisiéme] série.
First edition of a finely illustrated, serially published collection of French music, broad-margined, extra-illustrated, and accompanied by the later fourth series. Formed of four series of twenty-eight issues, sold individually at sixty centimes from February 1842, the Chants et chansons populaires are considered by Carteret to be an ‘admirable publication, printed on papier vélin fort, deservedly highly esteemed as one of the most beautiful of the nineteenth century, which can be compared to the handsome illustrated books of the eighteenth century’ (trans.).
