This copy with a duplicate of the plate facing in Volume I. Music. Overall an excellent copy.<br /> <br /> "The book appeared in part-issues at the rate of one or two a week between April of 1843 and December of 1845. The major attraction of Le diable à Paris resides in Gavarni's plates which are of even greater interest than the 320 wood engravings of his Oeuvres choisies 207. The engraving is superior for the most part and they are new conceptions not versions of his lithographs. He limits himself almost entirely to single figures or pairs evoked with his usual concentration and psychological subtlety. He had a free hand with his subjects since his designs are quite unrelated to Hetzel's text. As usual he arranged them as series some of which those devoted to writers and politicians for example are largely unprecedented in his previous repertory. He invaded Daumier's world with success in the fifteen plates of 'Bourgeois' exampled in the self-satisfied worthy reproduced II 328" Ray.<br /> <br /> Hiler 237. J. Hetzel unknown
