AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Charming illustrated edition of this extensive documentary and iconographic fresco dedicated to 19th-century French society.

The author, collector, and historian of popular imagery, gathers a multitude of testimonies, engravings, caricatures, and stories that illustrate social transformations, daily practices, clothing evolutions, and technical innovations of the time.

Grand-Carteret employs a quasi-ethnographic approach, describing social classes, bourgeois and popular customs, domestic and festive practices, costumes that mark identities, as well as inventions that transform modern life (railways, photography, illustrated press).
