LES ÉPINGLES - Lot 36

LES ÉPINGLES Strasbourg critical review N° 1, June 1841. Probably the only issue published. Strasbourg, Chez Drach, libraire et chez Schuler, imprimeur. The articles are unsigned. 1 vol. in-32 bound. Handwritten notes by Vasseur (2 ff.). Attached: - 1 L.D.S. from the Bibliothèque de Strasbourg (September 1962) informing Vasseur that their archives also have only this single no. 1. In a statement of intent published at the beginning of the volume, the editors wished to "publish monthly, in a small in-32 volume, a Revue critique et plaisante de tout ce qui se fait à Strasbourg, a sort of Courrier-Strasbourg, in which we would talk, but in a completely independent way - which we can't do in a newspaper serial, to whose spirit we must bow - about theater, concerts, art exhibitions, mores, literature, local chronicles, miscellaneous events, everything in fact ; anything that gives rise to permissible, decent and honorable criticism.
