SN - Paris-Londres Keepsake Français - 1842

Superb illustrated edition of 26 vignettes from this literary and artistic collection intended for a bourgeois audience sensitive to aesthetic refinement and European cultural exchanges -

It brings Paris and London together, offering a selection of texts — poetry, short stories, sentimental pieces and moral evocations — that reflect the Romantic sensitivities of the era, while being accompanied by finely executed engravings that reinforce the visual and decorative dimension of the work -

The often anonymous nature of the contributions underscores the importance given to overall harmony rather than individual signatures, and allows a unity of tone marked by delicacy, melancholy and elegance -

Beautiful binding -
