Manuel de la jeune femme. Guide complet de la Maîtresse de maison. Paris : Charles Béchet, s.d. [c. 1829].

Plus de la moitié du volume est consacrée à la cuisine, autant l’art de cuisiner, avec des conseils de découpe, des recettes, les ustensiles indispensables, que la pièce elle-même, avec des conseils d’éclairage et d’entretien.

L’ouvrage comporte également des conseils pour aider les ménagères à se fournir en denrées et accessoires divers, donnant les noms et adresses des meilleurs boulangers, épiciers, charcutiers, chocolatiers, fleuristes, chapeliers, tailleurs de Paris, “lieu de l’Europe où se trouvent les approvisionnements de la meilleure qualité”.



In-16 (136 x 86 mm). Illustré d'un frontispice, une vignette de titre et une planche hors-texte, l’ensemble gravé sur cuivre par Rouargue. Les feuillets illustrés sont imprimés sur papier plus épais (rousseurs dans l’ensemble du volume, quelques feuillets un peu plus courts de marge extérieure, quelques mouillures marginales). Reliure signée Ateliers Laurenchet : demi-veau vert à coins, dos à nerfs orné.
