Madame Bovary

Charpentier, Paris 1880, 12x19cm, relié.

Final edition, in part original, one of 100 numbered copies on Holland, only large papers after 10 China.
Work illustrated with a portrait on the frontispiece engraved on China by Gustave Flaubert.
It is the very last version of
Madame Bovary, entirely reviewed and corrected by Gustave Flaubert one year before his death on which he made 1200 corrections.
Following the top, pages 387 to 470 show documents of the trial brought against Gustave Flaubert in 1857 entitled Réquisitoire, Plaidoirie et Jugement du procès intenté à l'auteur devant le Tribunal correctionnel de Paris, hearings on 31 January and 7 February 1857.
Binding in full forest green morocco, spine in five compartments with some restorations, set with gilt stippling and adorned with richly decorated panels, gilt dentelle at the foot, gilt roll tooling on the spine ends (some small tears on those at the top), boards stamped with a large gilt dentelle, double gilt fillet on the leading edges (a little accident without affecting that of the upper board), marbled endpapers, framing of a gilt dentelle on the pastedown endpapers, following endpapers in marbled paper, all edges marbled and gilt, elegant binding signed Petit et Trimoullier, Simier's successor.
One light mark on the back of a marbled endpaper with light discharge on the facing page.
A very beautiful copy of the final of one of the most important texts of the second half of the 19th century set in a wonderful binding by Petit.
