Originally published in 1854,11 years prior to the edition year I have here. I would like to know how much this could be worth? The book itself measures approx. 7" x 4.5" when closed. If you need additional info or pics from the book, let me know. Thank you!
L'Allumeur de réverbères, translated to "The Street Lighter" or "The Lamplighter".
