#201/4300, 499/730pp. 11/13 photogravure plates accompany this collection of ribald tales. (The word 'rabelaisian' has come to mean "marked by gross robust humor, extravagance of caricature, or bold naturalism".) Pape goes overboard on all fronts and adds close to 100 chapter tails in pen & ink to maintain the levity. A great set rivaling the one by Heath Robinson. Large octavo, 2 columes, full black cloth stamped in bright gilt. Seller Inventory # 30747
