A work printed in a limited edition of only 138 copies on Marais vellum, the sole paper used. Copy no. 2, printed especially for Madame Henri Beraldi, bearing her bookplate. A work describing Parisian nightlife, illustrated in black by Minartz and engraved by Paillard. A lovely vignette on the colophon depicting the author, publisher, illustrator, and engraver.

In 1934–1935, Beraldi’s books went up for auction and were sold off over the course of thirteen days.
