Abstract
I came on a Friday to Clignancourt and found this dealer -- and almost no others -- open for business. The special feature of this pair of small (4 x 7) volumes is the hand-colored illustrations. There are many of them! I find between four and six full-page hand-colored illustrations in each of the seven books printed here. Among the best of them are L'Enfant et le Maitre d'Ecole (21); AD (39); FK (58); and DS (143). Some of the paint has bled through onto the blank back of the page of these interpaginated pictures. Many of them still retain their protective tissues. I consider this a wonderful find! This volume ends with the end of Book VII on 185.
