Paris H. Fournier, Libraire-Editeur, Rue Saint-Benoit 7, 1844. First Edition

(iv), 295, (1) pp, half-title and title-page printed in red, 36 plates part-coloured by hand as issued, over 140 black-and-white illustrations in the text, occasional light foxing mainly in the prelims., 19th century half russia, marbled boards, marbled edges and endpapers, recently re-backed, boards a little rubbed but a sound copy.
Grandville’s most important book; an extraordinary imaginative tour de force; an inspirational fantasy which undoubtedly had an influence well into the twentieth century. That influence can be seen in Tenniel’s illustration to Alice; Max Ernst and the Surrealists as well as the likes of Ralph Steadman and Gerald Scarfe.
