Decorated Cloth. Condition: Good. Flamboyant Job illustrations set to colortype. Folio. 36 by 28 cm, 14 by 11 inches. N.d., but probably 1901 or a few years earlier. Boivin released three different editions of this work in the years 1897, 1898 and 1901, each with different covers. The full title was "France Son Histoire Jusqu'en 1789", and this aptly describes the contents of the work, so it is assumed that the latter part of the title was lopped off in a later printing. See Robichon, Job ou l'Histoire illustree, p. 149. Wear to the corners and edges of the binding. Otherwise clean and tight.
