Abstract
Here is a slightly different copy of a book I have listed already. Like it, this exemplar is large (16½ x 12½). Like the hardbound version, this softbound copy brings together the broadsides or posters I have found from Pellerin/Épinal, displayed at http://aesop.creighton.edu/jcupub/newpage47.htm. And so, like the hardbound copy, this version fills in the several lacunae left in that series of twenty-five posters. This copy has softer covers and lacks the line across the bottom of the cover: Dépot de l'Imagerie d'Épinal -- A. Capendu -- 3, Rue des Haudriettes. 3 -- Paris. This copy has a blank page not found in the other but lacks the title page found there. It thus begins with WL. Though the early pages suffer from a weak binding, the coloring of its individual pages is very good. I notice a bit of pencilling on 9. I am quite taken with Pellerin/Épinal's coloring wherever it occurs, whether in broadsides, books, or plates!
