"The typography a nd paper, as well as the language of the presumably original edition in my possession, suggest the third quarter of the seventeenth century as the period of publication. [...] The text of this amusing production contains manyunusual words, which heighten the interest of what is a light-hearted eulo gy of food and drink and their concomitants. The 'Chanson Nouvelle' at the end is a cheerful attack on drinkers of water and their beverage and it hasa Bacchanalian swing in its verses, very appropriate to the end of such a banquet as has been described in the preceding text." -from the prefatory note. This edition contains a facsimile of the original title page (on whichthe full title reads "La Troupe des Bons Enfans, Assembles a L'Hotel des R agouts.

Anonymous) Nation's Pictures
Cassell and Co., London, 1903,
(Anonymous) The Nation's Pictures. London: Cassell and Company, Ltd, 1903. [Complete in four volumes.] The set containing 193 chromo-photographic process three-colour plates, the plates tipped to stiff olive-grey paper and interleaved with separate printed descriptions for each plate. Pp. viii + 48 plates + [4] (ads); vi + 48 plates + [4] (ads); [4] (col. frontis. and accompanying descriptive leaf) + iv + 48 plates (numbered 2 - 49) + [4] (ads); xvi + 48 plates + [4] (ads). Folio (15" x 11"). With brief biographical notes of the painters in vol. 4, pp. v - xvi. The set would more properly havebeen titled "The Nation's Nineteenth-Century Pictures", as Turner is the e arliest of the 131 artists whose work is reproduced in these volumes. The Pre-Raphaelites, and those influenced by the PRB movement, have a representation in the volumes consistent with their continuing popularity at the timeof publication; and in quality of colour reproduction the plates are the e quals of those in some hastily dished-up modern books, and the better for the exactness of their colour registration. Extremities lightly to moderately worn, fore-corners bumped, some scratching and spotting of cloth, water-marking to rear board of vol. 1. The hinges, although no longer by any meanstight, are still very serviceable as little shaking has been suffered by t he set over time. Cost of shipping will be extra due to the weight of the set. 450.00
