oldbookillustrations:

Paul Avril, (probable original) front cover from Le miroir du monde (Reflection of the world), by Octave Uzanne, Paris, 1888.
(It’s difficult to tell for sure without holding the book in one’s hands, but this looks like the original cover, and the current brown binding like a later addition. This could also be a title page, but it doesn’t seem quite as likely)
