This rare collection of hand-colored plates, bound in two volumes, was originally published as as series of 80 pamphlet parts over the years 1834-1837.\u00a0 This historic work by Ernest Jaime is considered significant for being one of the earliest publications dedicated to the history of French humor.\u00a0 It was carefully researched by Jaime, the editor and engraver, who painstakingly compiled and reproduced prints of French satire and caricatures from the 14th century to the end of the Napoleonic era. The humor often takes aim at French mores and fashion, aristocrats, clergy, monarchs, revolutionary leaders, and of course, the British. The wit is often coarse and crass, with images related to spanking, flatulence, gluttony, and constipation.<\/p>\n
