About This Item

Paris: Chez Ostervald ainé, Rittner, & Hautecœur, 1828. An Exceptionally Rare and Amusing Suite of Hand Colored Lithographs

PHILIPON, Charles. WATTIER, Émile. Les Compensations Composées et Dessinées par Ch. Philipon, Lithographies par Wattier. Paris: Chez Ostervald ainé, Rittner, & Hautecœur, [1828].

First edition. Quarto (10 7/8 x 8 1/2 inches; 276 x 216 mm.). Pictorial lithograph title and thirty-six (of forty-eight) hand colored lithograph plates. Some light foxing, mainly marginal. The coloring of the plates is quite exceptional.
