Author: NAUROY,CHARLES
Title: LE CURIEUX premier volume 1883-1885 / deuxième volume 1885-1888
Description: Paris 1883-1888, nice bound in two hardcovers, Uniquely, all 48 issues of this rare journal, in splendid shape. Charles Nauroy confessed: “Choisir un sujet très obscur et l’éclairer à la lumière électrique est pour moi une grande jouissance.” So this is what he did, with great diligence, during the five years his journal existed. Himself, it seems, an illegitimate child, he concentrated on events that determine family relations, like births, marriages and deaths, events that generated in 18th century and revolutionary France not a few uncomfortable hidden secrets, so equally many to discover (code N-37)
