BARBIER Auguste and Alphonse ROYER: Les mauvais garçons. Paris, Eugène Renduel, 1830-1832. Two volumes in-8, (2) ff, VII-381 pp. + (2) ff ; 386 pp. 2 woodcut title vignettes by Henri-Désiré Porret after Tony Johannot. Contemporary half tan basane, spines smoothly decorated (headbands and corners worn, hinges rubbed, scattered foxing). First edition of this historical novel by Auguste Barbier (1805-1882) written in collaboration with Alphonse Royer (1803-1875). It is a painting of early 16th century Paris in a studied style: "Rabelais, Marot, Margueritte de Navarre, Bonaventure des Périers, Fleurange, the Dubellays, and the admirable historian of the knight Bayard, have especially contributed to the composition of this book, because they wrote precisely at the time when the action takes place."
