PIGAL (Edme Jean). Moeurs parisiennes. Paris, Gihaut, sd [1823]. 2 volumes in-folio, red half-maroquin with corners, ornate smooth spines, gilt titles stamped on upper boards (period binding). First and only edition comprising a title and 100 lithographed and hand-colored hors-texte plates. This marvelous collection of characters, most of them jovial and colorful, shows the Parisian customs of social interaction in Pigal's unpretentious caricatured style, closer to the English satirical art of Gillray, Cruikshank and Rowlandson than to the political and social satires of his French contemporaries, such as Daumier and Gavarni. Very difficult to find complete. Only 2 copies worldwide are in public libraries: The Morgan Library & Museum (NY, US) and The Baltimore Museum of Art Library (MD). A fine copy, with a few scattered brown spots.

Estim. 300 - 600 EUR

The verso decorated with a large crab raisings its pincers, lacquered in gold and inlaid with large sections of raden. The interior cases of nashiji with gold fundame edges. With a lacquered wood ojime and a beautifully matching narwhal manju netsuke with a shell in silver to its center. The shell incised with concentric circles and fitted with a loop cord attachment.
