THE ILLUSTRATED PAMPHLETS — “THE UNVEILED SECRETS OF THE BLACK CABINET” THE ILLUSTRATED PAMPHLETS. The Secrets of the Cabinet Noir Revealed. [Paris, 1870], Les Pamphlets illustrés, No. 2. A large-format illustrated satirical leaflet devoted to the “Cabinet Noir” scandal, a system of surveillance and mail interception during the Second Empire. The caricature, enhanced with color, accompanies a text describing the documents discovered at the Tuileries after the fall of the Empire and the denials of François-Thomas Vandal, former Director General of the Post Office. Below the illustration are two captions in verse: “Sweet secrets of love, friendly outpourings / On scented paper, tender confessions conveyed” and “Behold what a fate!… What a sickening scandal! / You were often condemned by Vandal’s agents...”. Lithograph and typographic text on paper, hand-colored. Paper slightly browned, a few creases and small marginal tears; in good overall condition.
