Theuriet 1833-1907 was noted for his keenly observed and empathetic depictions of the petit bourgeoisie and the French countryside: Lemaître describes him as "the best most cordial and most accurate painter" of this world. First issued in 1867 "Sous Bois" contains the stories "Autumn in the Woods" "Research on Coleoptera Beetles" and "Song of the Gardener." According to Ray Theuriet was "delighted" with the choice of Hector Giacomelli to illustrate this reissue proclaiming "Giaco" to be "the artist who was best acquainted with the familiar life of birds plants and insects and who knew how to depict it with as much charm as delicacy." In Ray's opinion the synergy between words and art here has produced "one of the luxury publisher Conquet's most successful books." The binder Thibaron was the favorite pupil of Georges Trautz 1807-79 considered by Michon "the uncontested master of the luxury binding" who achieved a level of celebrity that Michon says would be difficult to imagine. After Trautz retired Thibaron established his own bindery and according to Beraldi he seemed poised to become heir to his master's position in the binding world but sadly he died very soon afterwards before he could begin to fulfill that promise. After having apprenticed with a provincial binder Antoine Joly 1838-1917 moved to Paris found employment with the celebrated Léon Gruel later formed a partnership with Thibaron in 1874 became his successor and in 1892 turned the business over to his son Robert 1870 - 1924.
