Friends Bibliophiles hello
professional obligations not keep me away from my books, but at least the blog up Thursday. Meanwhile here are some beautiful pictures for bibliophiles.
begin the cycle by two images from the same book "Compendium of the various costumes of the inhabitants of Bordeaux and its surroundings, drawn from nature by Mr. de Galard prcédés and records written by Mr. Gerald, "small folio published by Lavigne in 1818-1819, containing 32 colored plates at the time.
The first image, the shepherd of the Landes is very typical
The second is rather chilling and incorporates the most nauseating cliches:
