[Jules CHAUVET's drawings enhanced with sanguine] [Léon JAYBERT]. Three Dizains of Gallic tales. Paris, Poulet-Malassis, 1862. Volume of 277 pages, salmon half-salmon wedge binding, decorated spine with nerves, head combed, untrimmed, box with orange morocco spine, ornaments repeating those of the volume (contemporary binding; boxed set Ateliers Laurenchet). Original edition published anonymously, enriched with 31 drawings enhanced with sanguine by Jules Chauvet. The drawings are not free and are signed. The copy is on large paper, numbered 11 and signed by Poulet-Malassis. According to Barbier: "This volume, printed in 300 copies for subscribers only, was to be decorated with etchings by Bracquemont; but these plates, which still exist, were not used. This book, even without engravings, is highly sought after today. "Tired binding, leaves often stitched. (Lemonnyer 3-1270, Barber IV-844)
