French Literary and Arts Periodical

Description

Jules Roques' "Le courrier Français" (1886-1889), with 13 issues measuring 39 x 29 cm, is a softcover publication under waiting cover. Each issue contains around a dozen pages with some rare foxing and a few frayed leaves. It features special topics including wine and grape harvests, the Incoherents group, and various artists contributing to the cultural discourse of the time, including memorable masked balls that revitalize Paris Carnival post-1870. Notable illustrated themes reflect the socio-political environment, leading to an evolved critique of contemporary mores.
