AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Charming illustrated collection of this edition, which gathers one hundred short stories, often bawdy, satirical, or moral, vividly depicting the customs and flaws of medieval society.

Albert Robida's illustrations, a renowned draftsman and caricaturist, give the stories a new visual dimension: they convey the witty spirit, irony, and fantasy of the tales, while immersing the reader in a medieval universe reinvented by the imagination of the 19th century.

Collective / A. Robida - The Hundred New Stories - 1888 - Volumes I and II - At the Illustrated Bookstore
338 + 308 Pages.

Good condition of the bindings, books in their original fawn-colored half calf, marbled boards, slight signs of use, rubbed headbands and corners, beveled edges, nicely decorated spine with raised bands, gilded titles and volume numbers on morocco labels.

Good interior condition, some scattered foxing, works enriched with over 300 drawings by A. Robida, marbled endpapers in good condition.

Delivery service guaranteed within a few days.
