Jean-Marie told me that this book is the reissue of a volume in a series of booklets titled « Les Maîtres Humoristes » (The Master Humourists) published between 1906 and 1909. The title of this reissue is improper because there is nothing post-1909 and the drawings of the nineteenth century are clearly post-1830.
Nevertheless, for 5 euro I got more than 800 pages of French vintage caricatures and cartoons, drawn by some of France's greatest caricaturists at that time:
Ferdinand Bac (1989-1952)

Nice find. This is my favorite Hermann-Paul cartoon: A Firing Squad. It was published in 1898 when the political left had a very low opinion of the army.
Thanks Jeff. I'll link to the Hermann-Paul project website!
