Les Français. Costumes des principales provinces de la France… Paris: L. Curmer, 1842.
Extremely rare work (Colas); clean and sharp copy of a collaborative work produced by some of the most distinguished artists and authors of the 19th century. Les Français offers 16 different compositions each depicting the typical costume from the various regions of France. Each plate is accompanied by a description printed in French, English, Italian and German; these texts were composed by such authors as Achard, Balzac, Janin, Karr, Nodier and Soulié, among others. Offering further insight into the various provinces of France the text, paired with the illustrative lithograph, informs the reader of the geography, typical trade and, perhaps most interestingly, the characters of the region. Of Normandy, we are informed that the depicted costume of a floppy red hat, billowing pantaloons and smoking pipe ‘can be found in many villages in Normandy…it is proper to the fishers, sobers, pious, intrepid, and justly esteemed people’. Bobins II, 526; Colas 1100; Lipperheide Fe 11.

Lithographic and title/frontispiece, coloured by a contemporary hand and heightened with gum arabic, 32 lithographic plates, of which 16 are coloured by a contemporary hand and heightened with gum arabic, 16 are duplicates in black and white printed on Chine, pp.33 of descriptive letterpress in German, Italian, French and English, printed in red, blue and green ink (letterpress on recto of leaf 11 and 12 faded, scattered spotting to plates).
