The process for the decoration of Tiles was early favoured by the late Mr. A. Welby Pugin, "the great restorer of Gothic Arts," in the Houses of Parliament and in many other places, and the patterns in that style of ornament in this book are all from his hand.

In-12 (162 x 92 mm), pleine basane brune de l'époque, dos à 5 nerfs orné de caissons fleuronnés et cloisonnés, pièce de titre de maroquin brun, tranches mouchetées de rouge, (12), 191 p, frontispice gravé compris dans la pagination. Important poème en vers languedociens ni n'a rien de burlesque sinon le réalisme des descriptions. "Ce livre annonce le véritable tournant qu’est en train d’opérer le marché beaucairois aux yeux des contemporains.

Elle est décrite comme un rassemblement de gens et de marchandises en tous genres, grouillant de vie, qui explique notamment son changement d’échelle. Rédigé 'en vers burlesques vulgaris', le livre en dresse un tableau pittoresque et dépeint un spectacle visuel et sonore qui symbolise le désordre intrinsèque de la ville de Beaucaire en période de foire" (Catalogue exposition 550e anniversaire de la foire de Beaucaire, Musée Auguste Jacquet 2014, p. 14-15).
