ETINCELLE (pen name of Marie BIARD de PEYRONNY). FERDINANDUS. Diary of a Socialite. A Parisian Gazette of Anecdotes and Curiosities. [First and Second Years]. Paris. E. Rouveyre, 1881–1882. 2 in-8 volumes, VIII–182 pp. (1) f. and (2) ff., 164 pp. Wine-colored half-maroquin with period corners, raised ribbed spine, title, volume number, and date in gold, richly decorated panels, double gold fillet on the covers [L. Pouillet]. Note: First edition. Only one copy in the CCFr. The illustrations by Ferdinandus consist of color plates on the covers, a color plate in each volume, and numerous black-and-white vignettes in the text. A fine copy, well bound by Louis Pouillet. A work on bourgeois and aristocratic manners by this salon hostess, woman of letters, and journalist—born Marie Biard (1840–1897)—who was granted the title of Baroness Double through her marriage, an event that made headlines at the time.
