The "éxemplaire unique" of Henri Maigrot, the important caricaturist and director of the satirical journal "Le Charivari". The album with its witty and well-executed croquis is dedicated to the author's former law professor J. Paget. It probably was compiled in preparation for publication in the "Journal Amusant".
Occasional slight brownstaining, otherwise fine.
