1840 handwritten journal of an English woman's trip to France from 30th April to 29th July, culminating in the celebrations of the 'Journee's de Juillet'. Illustrated with some prints and the occasional pencil drawing and well bound. Interesting social history and contemporaneous commentary. Sketches include a litter picker, nun, the sculpture of Joan of Arc, Chinese character and a woman wearing a high-collar garment amongst book engravings of places of interest.
