Uzanne, Octave — La Francaise Du Siecle: Modes - Moeurs - Usages

Paris, A. Quantin, 1886. Hardbound. Blue library buckram with white lettering over original color-illustrated wraps (possibly hand-colored); 273 pp. with 10 full-page color engravings and numerous additional smaller color illustrations covered in tissue; several small bw figures throughout. Text in French; the study of women and their modes of fashion as well as a study of the social history of the upper classes of French society; a beautiful book with illustrations by Eugene Gaujean of watercolors by Albert Lynch. Very good but with ex-lib. marks and foxing to a few pages.
