The vicar of Wakefield. Nouvelle édition, avec une notice, un argument analytique et des notes par M. l'Abbé B. Colpin

MULREADY, William., Goldsmith, Oliver · 1896 · London · 33 pictures

An 1896 London reprint of Oliver Goldsmith's 1766 novel, illustrated with William Mulready's designs and fitted with a notice, analytical argument and notes by the Abbé B. Colpin for French students reading English. The plates are fine-line engravings of clustered domestic scenes — families crowded around a bedside, girls measured back to back, a shooting party scattering birds — with figures in mid-eighteenth-century coats, caps and full skirts, quotation captions set beneath, and open paper margins useful for cut-out figure groups and period costume reference.
