Oeuvres Poissardes de J. J. Vade, et De L'Ecluse
- Full Morocco
- Paris: Didot Jeune, 1796
Paris: Didot Jeune, 1796. Full Morocco. Near Fine. Lovely early copy of Vade's "poissard" songs, poems, dialogues, etc. 12mo. 216 pp. With five copper engraved plates, one of which is a frontis portrait of Vade, the other four, street scenes. Vade invented the poissard genre, which reveled in the more vulgar vernacular of literally, the fish-wife, and sought to dignify the lives, joys and trials of more common people. Minor soiling scattered. Light wear to contemporary red morocco.
