Le Petit Paroissien de la Jeunesse.

Paris Marcilly (c. 1840) 96 pp. Printed by Firmin Didot, but with Marcilly imprint. With engraved half-title and five plates, the finely executed illustrations depict scenes from the life of Christ.

This copy is in red morocco, with ornamental borders in gilt. Light rubbing to extremities, else fine. Housed in a matching slipcase. A.e.g. (Bondy, p.77; see Grolier 99; Spielmann 404; Welsh 5607).
