First edition

Joseph MERY Les Etoiles Dernière féerie [avec] Astronomie des dames par le Comte Foelix

Joseph MERY

Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard GRANDVILLE

Les Etoiles Dernière féerie [avec] Astronomie des dames par le Comte Foelix

G. de Gonet, Paris s.d. [1849], 19,5x28,5cm, relié.


G. de Gonet | Paris [1849] | 19 x 28,5 cm | publisher‘s binding
 

First edition of this posthumous work illustrated with 15 insert steel-engraved plates by Charles Geoffroy and enhanced in color, including two frontispieces and a portrait of Grandville.
 
Publisher's binding with full historiated cream boards, first board illustrated, browned endpapers as is usual for this period.
Rare interior foxing.
 
Superb publication, arguably one of Grandville's most poetic, in which – as for his Fleurs animées – the artist represents celestial bodies with young women.
