Comprising twenty plates total, each with a leaf comprising a short description. Signed by the author to the half-title, addressed to 'ma chere petite amie Marguerite'. 

In the original French.

Etienne Moreau-Nelaton's painting style was influenced by Manet and Morisot. Much of his larger paintings are in the collection of the Musee d'Orsay. 

A very scarce work, even more so as signed by the artist.
