One painting book, ca. 1876, entitled Le Petit Coloriste, publisher unknown. This book is comprised of 16 titled (but unnumbered) plates. The volume is bound in red cloth that has been stamped to resemble morocco. The title, within a decorative frame, is stamped in gold. There are 8 sets of plates, with two duplicate images per pair. One image is printed in color, the other without so that it may be colored. An inscription, in ms., dated 1876, is written on the front pastedown. Each of the uncolored images has been colored with watercolor. "25.00" (price) is written in ms. in the upper right-hand corner of the front flyleaf. A red and white binder's(?) label is affixed to the rear pastedown: "Aux 2 Blassons, Gravure, Papeterie de luxe, Kilchenmann, Cannes."
