L'Assiette Au Beurre Number 37 - A Nous L'Espace -

Paris: L'Assiette au Beurre, 1901. Soft cover. Very Good/No Jacket. A. Guillaume. The special issue of this satirical French magazine concentrating on the status of aviation at the time. Illustrated throughout, in colour and monochrome, with all illustrations satirising the potential future with balloons playing a significant part. Text in French. Generally very good in original wrappers which are a little dusty. With 4 fold out lithographs depicting hunting using falcons instead of hounds, the Parisien Grand-Prix with jockeys riding racing balloons, chaos in the skies with all sorts of flying craft causing congestion and a bullfighting scene with the bull attacking 2 aerial matadors. Complete but mispaginated and with trivial chipping to the edges.
