Comte Antoine HAMILTON & Horace WALPOLE

Mémoires de Grammont

Edwards, Londres s.d. [1793], 21x28,5cm, relié.

Edition illustrated with 78 portraits, not 72 as stated on the title page, engraved by Harding and Voet, after the original paintings. Some minor foxing, ownership inscription in pen on the title page which left a small ink stain to the lower right-hand corner of the same page, slight scuffing to the boards.
Entirely printed on vellum, complete with the binder's instructions at the beginning and the index table at the end.
Edition with commentary by Horace Walpole.
Bound in full Russian red morocco, spine with three raised bands, spine framed in gilt and elaborately decorated with gilt typographic motifs, gilt roulettes at head and foot of spine, slight rubbing to spine-ends, boards framed with a large gilt dentelle and a frieze of blind-stamped motifs, moiré olive-green silk endpapers, inner dentelle, all edges gilt, edges framed in gilt, corners slightly dulled. An elegant unsigned 19th-century English binding.
A fine copy handsomely housed in an English morocco binding, of the most beautiful illustrated edition of this masterpiece described by Voltaire as “adorned with the most cheerful, lively, and pleasant style” (Siècle de Louis XIV).
