Le dévouement fraternel : épisode du siége de Saragosse / par Mme. Woillez

Woillez, Madame, 1781-1859 · 1853 · Tours : Ad. Mame et cie. · 2 pictures

A French children's book published in Tours in 1853 by Ad. Mame et cie, written by Madame Woillez, a moral tale set during the siege of Saragossa for young readers. The cover is a gilt-edged green binding with floral borders, a central framed vignette of a cave scene with a man, a girl and a glowing fire, and a green and pink arabesque panel on the front board. A designer could take the botanical border of pink roses and blue flowers on sage green, and the gold tooled frame lines.
