The following 20 illustrations of Robida's Brillat-Savarin aphorisms were first published in Richardin's "The Art of Eating Well" and then republished separately by Blaizot in 1905. There were prints on vellum (5HC), China (7), Japan (43). Our lot probably comes from this publication. On the other hand, one wonders about the presence of the Mariani watermark on vellum papers, is it a stock bought by Blaizot or a special edition for Mariani who was close to Robida?.
