Filles et garçons, scènes de la ville et des champs, Anatole France ; illustrations de M.B. de Monvel

Author's name at head of titleOriginally published as the last 10 of the 19 "scenes" in Nos enfants (Paris : Hachette, 1887; the first 9 scenes were also separately published, under title "Nos enfants"). The pagination of this issue of Filles et garçons, not reported in other records seen, is carried over from the 1887 full-length Nos enfants, also printed by Lahure (the signatures do not, however, follow on precisely from those of the 9-scene Nos enfants). Other, presumably later, issues are apparently renumbered, and some were printed by different firms, e.g. Kapp (Pierpont Morgan Lib.); the Bibliothèque nationale lists reprints of 1904 and 1907Date from BN and Talvart & Place, assuming this to be earliest issue"Gravure de Guillaume frères"--Verso of half title"Imprimé par A.
