Jules Janin Augmentée de Nombreux Culs-de-Lampe, Têtes de Pages, Etc. Paris : Garnier Frères, Libraires-Éditeurs, 6, rue des Saints-Pères, et Palais-Royal, 215, 1869. 8vo. Collation : [ii; frontispiece, title-page (ii) ; lxiii ; 480 pages]. Bound in half red morocco on marbled boards. Five raised bands. Top page edge gilded. 71 full-page hand-colored wood-block plates bound in. This edition contains the same plates as the edition of 1854 and in the same order, but with these differences: 1) They do not have the name of the printer on them; 2) A majority of these plates are signed in the plate "J.-J. Grandville"; 3) These are printed on heavier paper; 4) On a great number of the plates the legends are modified or augmented. Some light foxing, but still a very good, untrimmed copy in a very secure binding. Enjoying great success during Grandville's lifetime, Les Métamorphoses du Jour put human language and human behavior into animals, thus creating a moral satire of human behavior. Les Métamorphoses du Jour first appeared in 1836. See: Vicaire, Vol. V, 787 – 788 ; Cartaret III : 284-285.
