DUFRENOY (Mrs Adélaïde-Gillette, born Billet). Primer for the little gourmets. [Continuation of the colored engravings]. Written by Mrs. Dufrénoy. Nöel et Dauty, Palais-Royal. Lefuel, rue Saint-Jacques, N° 54. Paris. [1822]. In-8 (22,2 x 15 cm). 1 engraved title, 26 engraved plates, hand-colored with stencil : red half-percaline with corners. (Posterior binding). Exceptional hand-colored suite of all the engravings illustrating the twenty-six historiettes of the Abécédaire des petits gourmands written by Adélaïde-Gillette Dufrénoy (1765-1825). An engraved title and twenty-six engravings in the form of an alphabet (no W, a final Etcetera added). The lithographs and the meticulous coloring of the illustrations, contained in a circle, are similar to the preparatory drawings for the porcelain paintings by Jean-Charles Develly (1783-1862) who signed the plates. They are lithographed by C. Constans in Sèvres or G. Engelmann. Very well preserved. Light foxing mainly on the reverse of some plates. Provenance: Félicie Meunié d'Hostel (1843-1935), with her engraved bookplate.
