"The compositions of this 'last fairy-tale' brilliantly engraved on steel by Charles Geoffroy and delicately colored form a fitting memorial to Grandville.The pattern which he follows is similar to that of Les fleurs animées. Nearly every plate has its beautiful lady clad in white and adorned with stars looming in the sky with varied scenes of earthly life below her. These designs Grandville's tranquil refuge from the turmoil that beset his mind are as charming as they are mysterious. Also included in the volume are an unsigned essay which remains the most considerable source of biographical information about Grandville and a fine portrait of him by Geoffroy I xvi with a border of his creations animals paying him tribute as well as his flower- and star-ladies" Ray. <br /> <br /> The talented Charles Meunier 1865-1940 was first apprenticed to a book binder at the eleven years old. After training with Marius-Michel he began his own binder in 1885 where he sought to be innovative and nontraditional. ". Drawing on traditional and modern techniques and forms of decoration Meuniere mixed classical punches. with newly fashionable incised and modeled leather panels. His output was prodigious; by 1897 he had produced roughly six hundred bindings" Art Nouveau and Art Deco Bookbinding.<br /> <br /> <br /> Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book 200.
