18419111Marcilly 27 x 18 Mm Paris 1841 Un volume minuscule, in-64, reliure de maroquin rouge souple, dos lisse orné d'étoiles dorées, filets d'encadrement dorés sur les plats, brasero antique doré au centre des plats, tranches dorées, [1] f.bl., 62 pp., [1] f.bl., 6 gravures en pleine page, contenant six chansons dans une écriture anglaise cursive (Regrets d'amour, Chacun son tour, Les vendanges, La paresse, L'orage, L'art d'être heureux) et un calendrier. Minuscules, livres microscopiques, livres nains, livres miniatures furent particulièrement appréciés au XVIIIe et au XIXe siècles pour l'édition d'almanachs, de livres d'étrennes, de livres religieux. Les grands éditeurs de "Minuscules" furent Marcilly, Janet, Le Fuel mais aussi Didot Le Jeune. Leur prouesse technique s'accompagne d'une reliure soignée (maroquin rouge, vert, ou citron, satin ou cartonnages décorés), de petites gravures délicates et d'une mise en page élégante. En général, ils étaient composés de poèmes, de chansons, de proverbes, d'un calendrier, et de petites gravures. La petitesse de ces opuscules pouvait être également utile pour une diffusion sous le manteau de livres de colportage ou d'ouvrages plus ou moins licencieux. Sources : Welsh, 5551 et suivants, L.
