Abstract
How many thousands of copies of books like this are sitting in French attics?! It includes twenty indifferent renderings of great Oudry illustrations, but its special charm is that it was a prize. The embossed cover proclaims Ville de Paris Prix Municipal around a seal and under République Française: Liberté - Égalité - Fraternité. Life does not get more dramatic than this! On the inside paper is a pasted slip from the Écoles Communales de Paris naming school, street, class, date (1926), and student. What is left of the spine is breaking up. I consider this a steal, marked down from 70 Francs. There is a misprint of the book number on the top of 337.
