[Drawings by Jules CHAUVET enhanced with red chalk] [Léon JAYBERT]. Three Dizains of Gallic Tales. Paris, Poulet-Malassis, 1862. Volume of 277 pages, salmon half-chagrin with corners, ornamented spine, combed head, untrimmed, orange morocco spine case, ornaments repeating those of the volume (period binding; case Ateliers Laurenchet). First edition published anonymously, enriched with 31 drawings heightened in red chalk by Jules Chauvet. The drawings are not free and are signed. The copy is on large paper, numbered 11 and signed by Poulet-Malassis. According to Barbier: "This volume, printed at 300 copies for the subscribers only, was to be decorated with etchings by Bracquemont; but these plates, which still exist, were not used. This book, even without engravings, is highly sought after today." Tired binding, leaves often pitted. (Lemonnyer 3-1270, Barbier IV-844)
