Les misérables

Pagnerre, Paris 1862, 10 tomes en 10 Vol. in 8 (14,5x23,8cm), relié.

Original French edition, illustrated with very rare suite of 20 engravings on steel by Neuville and Castelli on strong paper. Title pages in red and black. Beautiful print on Velin Blanc. Half grief red time. Back to nerves and cold nets. Golden head. Overall, very fresh copy, but a few pages, including the first page of the preface to the first volume with foxing. Few pale scattered spots. Rubbing a nerve Volume VI. Wide margins, copy having been trimmed very little, evidence is found of a little narrower than the other layers, including engravings, the binder has retained the maximum margins. To make a point about the various judgments bibliographers: While Vicar reported that the French edition is the original genuine, Clouzot saying that both are original, we must state that the Belgian edition was published two days before, but Truth does not want to date a story. Lacroix is ??the editor Hugo Pagnerre is only the custodian to Paris, which explains the presence of the name Lacroix behind the half-title, together with that of Lacroix. It is also known that the work was published in all major cities at the same time, what happened a few days away. To the question mentions, this is probably quite simple: for commercial reasons of cost was made one run, some with references, some do not, for distribution during the year as always, new editions. It includes Clouzot called an edition without mentioning is more desirable because it seems to have been earlier, but in reality, and to sell when pages without mention had been exhausted were sold in random pages of these securities or mention I do not. Finally, we know that some copies were fired Holland and others contain the famous suite of 20 prints, including our copy, which can be seen also that the first five volumes are the seventh and eighth edition mentions, and that last five not contain any. It was certainly spent a lot more money and retain its copy for engravings, and it did not prevent the editor distributor concoct a copy of what he had on hand, where the various references on the first volumes. This result is actually very rare and this is the first time we meet. Finally, we previously stated that the Paris edition was censored and it differed from the Belgian edition; we now know that there is nothing, and that Hugo himself released these noises can believe that Paris, some passages are not removed.
