La paysane pervertie, ou Les dangers de la ville : histoire d'Ursule R**, sur d'Edmond, le paysan, mise-au-jour d'après les véritables lettres des personages ...
Rétif de la Bretonne's epistolary novel of a peasant girl's ruin in Paris, printed 1784 for a French reading public, with plates designed by Louis Binet and engraved by Berthet and Giraud. The engravings follow figures through streets, carriages, and ballrooms in tall towering coiffures and tiered ruffled gowns; useful for late-1700s costume, crowd staging, and allegorical title banners.
