Recognized as an "Edition estimée" by L. Carteret in his fundamental 5 volume work "Le trésor du bibliophile romantique et moderne, 1801-1875 (Paris, 1948), this edition was commissioned by the Bibliophiles du Palais, a society made up of members of the Council of State, senior magistrates, lawyers, solicitors, notaries,and forensic doctors. It was established in 1924 and selected from a diverse array of authors from Aristophnes to Colette, from Montesquieu to Verlaine for publication refined and illustrated works in editions of 200 copies. [Carteret, Vol. 2, pp. 229-230].
This novella is part of Balzac's series of novels (or Roman-fleuve) known as La Comédie humaine (The Human Comedy), which depicts and parodies French society in the period of the Restoration (1815–1830) and the July Monarchy (1830–1848). Originally published in Le Constitutionnel, was adapted for six different motion pictures, including two silent films.
This edition is richly illustrated with woodblock prints by André Dignimont (1891 – 1965) an illustrator, engraver, painter, a notable figure in Montmartre's art scene known for his delicate illustrations of female beauty.
