Les Talents ou les Couronnes de la jeunesse
The collection is preserved in a very pretty double compartment book box; on the lid, edged with gilt gauffered paper, a lithographed coloured composition with the title is pasted.
Our copy is the only one we have been able to identify with a book box with Alphonse Giroux's address, the others show that of Lefuel and Delaunay.
All the volumes, published by Lefuel, are in a perfect condition of preservation except for a few pages slightly foxed and burnished in three of them and some corners of the slipcase are slightly flattened.
A rare and charming set of this collection intended to educate young girls.
