Quatrelles La Dame de Gai-Fredon ill. Courboin

Description

This volume brings together *Quatrelles, la Dame de Gai-Fredon*, illustrated by Courboin, in an edition whose bibliophilic interest lies notably in the engravings by the latter, an artist renowned for his work on French classics. The title suggests a novelistic or narrative work centred on the eponymous character, perhaps a historical account or a literary fiction typical of 19th or early 20th-century productions, a genre common among popular or regionalist authors of the time. As described, the work presents itself as an illustrated book, with interior engravings signed by Courboin, making it a collector’s item for enthusiasts of prints and old illustrations. The physical condition of the copy is not specified here, but it may be assumed to be a paperback or bound volume, depending on the publishing practices of the period.
