Vautrain on front pastedown of each volume. Collating 4 xxxii 380; 4 lxxx 364. Wood- engraved title vignette in each volume 212 wood-engraved plates 208 after Gavarni and four after Bertall with tissue guards and numerous wood-engraved head- and tail-pieces vignettes and initials. This copy with a duplicate of the plate facing in Volume I. Music. Overall an excellent copy.<br/><br/>"The book appeared in part-issues at the rate of one or two a week between April of 1843 and December of 1845. The major attraction of Le diable à Paris resides in Gavarni's plates which are of even greater interest than the 320 wood engravings of his Oeuvres choisies 207. The engraving is superior for the most part and they are new conceptions not versions of his lithographs. He limits himself almost entirely to single figures or pairs evoked with his usual concentration and psychological subtlety. He had a free hand with his subjects since his designs are quite unrelated to Hetzel's text. As usual he arranged them as series some of which those devoted to writers and politicians for example are largely unprecedented in his previous repertory. He invaded Daumier's world with success in the fifteen plates of ‘Bourgeois' exampled in the self-satisfied worthy reproduced II 328" Ray.<br/><br/>Hiler 237. J. Hetzel unknown books

Leech promised however to being in January 1862 and the situation seemed sufficiently secure to set up the type but just at this time the artist held his first exhibition of oil paintings which proved so successful and diverting that the 'Facey Romford' illustrations were again postponed. Surtees in despair at last offered the book in August 1864 to The Field where is was refused. In March of that year Leech finally undertook the drawings but never lived to complete the work which was carried on byPhiz" Field.<br/><br/>Field 225. Tooley 475. Schwerdt II 237. Podeschi 207.
