Les Petits Acteurs du Grand Théâtre ou Recueil de divers Cris de Paris. Paris: chez Martinet, 1822.

Fourth and rarest edition of this series, depicting the picturesque costumes of the various tradesmen and hawkers in Paris in the process of selling their goods to those who pass by. The array of plates display the variety of trade in the city; the goods offered ranging from from umbrellas to crepes. Equally the engravings record tarot card readers, musicians and even a dog shearer as part of the makeup of the Parisian street hustlers, delineating a vibrant and eclectic view of the French capital. The suite of prints had previously been issued three times; first in 1810 and subsequently in 1815 and 1819. This rare copy contains the later edition of the engraved title and the 8 pages of letterpress. Bobins IV, 1235; Colas 1552 (records the 1810, 1815 and 1819 edition but not the present 1822 edition).



Folio (297 x 218mm). Engraved title, half-title, 60 engraved plates, coloured by a contemporary hand (plates 61 and 62 missing as with most copies, some light spotting, four plates, 7, 29, 35 and 58 ,expertly window-mounted, repaired marginal chips and tears to plates 6, 12, 34 and 54 not affecting the images, tear repaired with tape on verso of plate 45). Green half paper over boards, spine decorated in gilt and with brown label lettered in gilt (occasional scratches to boards).
