Decoupures Sans Trace 1849. SILHOUETTES—[DE GODEFROY, MÉNILGLAISE, Miss.] "Decoupures Sans Trace," n.p., 1849. Unique album of original 19th century silhouettes, in a fantastical style. The largest scene depicts an idyll beneath two palm trees, a father returns to his wife and child, with a giraffe on a leash. Other scenes include tigers, roosters, bear, deer, goats in a forest; all with a fairy-tale quality. Oblong folio (285 x 428mm). Gilt-lettered title-page and seven leaves with nine silhouettes, six large and three small on a single leaf, signed and dated by the artist, a few of the silhouettes with layers (album leaves a little creased at corners, expected tiny defects to silhouettes). Contemporary purple morocco gilt (rubbed at edges). Provenance: "E.M.S." (gilt initials on upper cover) – Jacques Levy (his sale, Sotheby's New York, 20 April 2012, lot 302).
