[Murger, Henri, French novelist and poet (1822-1861).] 3 printed portraits.

N. p. o. d.

Small 8vo (108 x 154 mm, 92 x 146 mm, 92 x 144 mm). One etching and one lithograph on cardboard. One lithograph on paper.

 450.00

Two engravings, one signed by the Parisian publisher "J. Bestault", the other an undated but probably posthumous print by Gustave Staal (1817-82) showing Murger within an allegorical frame alluding to his most important works, including "Scènes de la vie de bohème". Both appear to be based on Eugène-Louis Piridon's half-profile lithograph, which is included in a cropped copy.

All with traces of former mounting on the reverse.
