Some scattered foxing. A good copy. Petite biographie des acteurs et actrices des théâtres de Paris. Paris, Lemoine, 1826. In-16, 133p, paperback. Alphonse Karr, Les Guêpes. Paris, Au bureau du Figaro, 1840. In-32, 96-96-94p. First edition, gathering in 1 volume the 3 issues of May, June and July 1840: 96, 96 and 94 pages.

With the publication of the July 1840 issue of "Les Guêpes", Balzac launched his "Revue Parisienne".
