HonoreÌ de Balzac was a 19th-century French novelist and playwright, most known for his work â€œLa Comedie Humaine”, a series of novels focusing on the culture of France after Napoleon and the July Revolution.

This collection of 5 volumes contains exquisite, color engravings by Lucius Rossi and Jacques Wagrez and published as part of a 40-copy limited print run. English translation by Katharine Wormeley.
