Les Mille et une nuits Contes Arabes.
- [France?]: ca.1890-1910., 1890
[France?]: ca.1890-1910., 1890. 4to. [approx. 11.5 x 8.75 inches. 21, [1] pp. 5 chromolithographic plates, figures. Cover with original chromolithographic image; some wear to extremities, creasing. Very good. VERY RARE. Publisher is not stated, though there is a serial number on the supper cover "19 33.B." Beautifully produced chromolithographic plates. The drawings for this edition are unique. The front cover depicts Sinbad on his ship with sixteen imps attacking and or creating a nuisance. My favorite is probably the three princes taking a ride on the magic carpet, entitled "Histoire du Prince Ahmed et de la Fee Pari-Banou." Another image shows a magic horse with a princess. Not in the Cotsen collection, Princeton; not in WorldCat.
