Gérard de NERVAL

Scènes de la vie orientale : les femmes du Caire [Véritable édition originale du Voyage en Orient]

Ferdinand Sartorius, Paris 1848, 13,5x22cm, relié.

Ferdinand Sartorius | Paris 1848 | 13,5 x 22 cm | one volume bound in shagreen & one note

First edition, rare and very sought after according to Clouzot. Precious copy with the title page having the correct date of 1848. This work is the first to be published recounting Nerval's stay in Egypt and will be followed the same year by Femmes du Liban. These two main texts will form the famous Voyage en Orient in 1851.
Copy free from foxing, some leaves have angular fold marks.

Binding in half green shagreen, spine in four compartments enhanced with gilt stipples, decorated with double gilt spine panels and fleurons, black fillets, some signs of rubbing, marbled paper boards, two corners restored, sprinkled paper endpapers, charming contemporary binding.

Our copy is enriched with a receipt for the amount of seventy-five francs signed by Gérard de Nerval and mounted on the guards.

Extremely rare in good condition according to Clouzot.
