Rare copy of which the 6 volumes under dominant paper of the time show on the back a distinct popular vignette, engraved and in colors, of the revolutionary period, giving in particular 3 very rare representations of dancers. Each character is accompanied by a legend: Cateau à la belle Jambe au Bastringue de Vaugirard. - The fine Jingeolet dancer. - The Citizen Tapogionici Tambourine of love. - L'Indolente Julie at the promenade of Cours la reine. - The intrepid Manon the jumper of the Port à l'Anglais. - The Vigorous Jerome. Port de la Halle aux
Bleds.
The label with the author's name on the back is missing from 4 volumes. The engraved thumbnails show tears and some lacks. Dirty blankets, some tears around the edges. The first cover flat, the first 20 pages and the first 2 plates of the last volume have been damaged by a large amount of wetness that glued several pages together and caused the loss of several parts of the text.
