Les tribunaux secrets : ouvrage historique
Les tribunaux secrets is an 1880 Paris historical work by novelist Paul Féval, published by Legrand et Crouzet, on secret societies and their courts. Its engravings are dramatic, arched-frame scenes of intrigue: a masked man pointing toward a sleeping figure, a struggle between a woman and a man in a tricorn hat, a kneeling man before a seated woman, and a man in bed addressed by a veiled woman, offering a designer clear models for staging conspiracy and suspense.
