Nine issues in one volume. 12mo. 4p. and 4p. and 4p. and 12p. and 4p. and 4p. and 3, [1]p. and 8p. and 4p. Woodcut vignettes.

Contemporary polished calf-backed marbled boards, cloth corners, gilt-lettered spine title, mostly uncut.

A complete run of this fugitive periodical with bawdy and satirical songs and verse in the dialect of Liège, which is still spoken today. The contributors (list available on request) were all Liège natives and founding members of Liège Society for Wallon Literature (est. 1856). I have found two other sets (both in Europe). In excellent condition.
