The story of the four Aymon sons is a legendary tale, which was originally a gesture song from the French Carolingian era. The four heroes, sons of Duke Aymon, are introduced to the emperor Charlemagne and will live many adventures accompanied by an enchanter and a magical horse.
Their adventures are finely illustrated by Eugène Grasset (1845-1917), one of the representatives of Art Nouveau. It combines, with delicacy and simplicity, iconography inspired by the Middle Ages and the Knighthood with Art Nouveau style (with stylized forms and characteristic ornamental motifs such as flowers).

First edition.
One of the 100 copies on Holland paper (n°83), second paper after the 25 on Japan paper.
This book by Champfleury (1821-1889, writer, French art collector and curator at the Musée national de la céramique de Sèvres) gives us a History of French literature and Art at the Romantic era, a period of artistic effervescence in all fields.
The 150 vignettes highlight poems, novels, plays, social events, portraits and costumes of the most famous people from the time, such as Alexandre Dumas, Alfred de Musset, Devéria and Tony Johannot.
This book is a perfect summary of all that was done in the most interesting and beautiful part of the French Romantic period.
Copy of Paul Eudel, with arms on the covers.
Eudel was Champfleury's biographer and published "Champfleury, sa vie, son oeuvre et ses collections" in 1891. The relationship between these two scholars was nourished by their common passion and interest in Art. Indeed, Paul Eudel was a shipowner, a merchant, but he was mainly recognized as an art collector and worked as an art critic. The two men met when Champfleury was curator at the Musée national de la céramique de Sèvres.
Unique copy, with about ten letters added from Chamfleury or addressed to Champfleury, which all deal with this book, from the beginning of the writting (letter addressed to his friend the publisher E. Dentu) to its reception by some of the artists mentioned in the book as Camille Rogier and by his friends.
In addition to these documents, there is a cardboard folder containing various states of some of the engravings, which illustrate the work in progress. Some of them are annotated by Champfleury himself, including the printing orders for 8 of the 10 plates.
