GRENIER, Francis (1793-1867)

Album de Chasseur. Paris: by Arnauld de Vresse, [c. 1860].

Rare complete copy in the publisher's cloth, finely coloured: 'Albums of this kind, in complete state, are difficult to find owing to the practice of framing the plates, which are not to be compared with English coloured prints and lithographs of the same period, (the first half of the 19th century), although they possess a charm of their own and are amusing. Grenier was a good artist and specialised in sporting subjects' (Schwerdt). Bobins II, 530; Schwerdt I, 219.



Oblong quarto (262 x 340mm). Engraved frontispiece with hand-coloured sporting border and 22 plates, unnumbered, all finely contemporary hand-coloured and heightened with gum arabic (very minor spotting in places, one plate a little dust soiled). Publisher's quarter green morocco, over green pebble-grained cloth boards, covers with blind borders, title gilt at centre, white moiré endpapers (joints and head and tail of spine a little worn, covers slightly rubbed); green cloth slipcase.
