Alexandre Cadot

Rare and much sought-after first edition (cf. Clouzot), published at the correct date of 1850, with some unsold copies later reissued by the same publisher in 1852.
Bradel bindings in full bottle-green boards decorated with blind-stamped floral motifs, brown morocco title labels, bookplates pasted on the pastedowns.
A small paper loss at the foot of the final page of the second volume without any loss of text, a few occasional spots of foxing.
A very rare and handsome copy, elegantly bound strictly contemporaneous with the publication.

New edition of the French translation established by Perceval and published by Alexandre Dumas.
Half dark green shagreen binding, smooth spine slightly faded decorated with double black compartments, marbled paper boards, speckled edges, contemporary binding.
Minor foxing of no significance.

First edition printed on vergé paper; the two first volumes were published by Dolin, but were immediately taken up by Alexandre Cadot with a reworked title page. The two final volumes appear to have been published directly by Cadot. A bibliographical curio, this copy has the extremely rare titles with Dolin’s address.
Contemporary Romantic half coral-red sheep over cloth (partly faded), spine with gilt arabesques in the fashion of the time, gilt tools with the emblem of George Tudor to foot, a little light rubbing, marbled endpapers and pastedowns, armorial ex libris of George Tudor to pastedowns.
Tear without lack to pp. 141-142 of volume 4.
A rare copy, almost entirely without spotting, in a charming contemporary binding.
