= Vicaire VII, p.687; Sander 655; Brivois p.382; Ray 206: "With Les Français peints par eux-mêmes, and Le Diable à Paris, Le Juif errant represents Gavarni's most considerable effort as a book illustrator. In the first two works, however, he had important collaborators, while in the last he worked virtually alone. He was responsible for all of the vignettes, about 600 in number, and of the 83 [sic] plates only sixteen are not from his hand. A publisher's announcement states that Gavarni's plates will present the personnages of the novel, while the 12 by Karl Girardet and the four by Pauquet will depict its "great scenes" or dramatic highlights. Le Juif errant is the most complex of Süe's sensational feuilletons. (...) Gavarni's ability to sum up everything an author has to tell about a character in a single likeness is nowhere better shown than in his series of portraits for this novel."
