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.
