L'excommunié

First edition, published under the pseudonym of Horace de Saint-Aubin.
Elegant Romantic pastiche binding from the second half of the 19th-century in half tan calf over marbled paper boards, spine with gilt and blindruled fillets, gilt friezes to head and foot of spine, marbled endpapers and pastedowns, speckled edges.
A little light spotting and light dampstains (not serious), lacking the advertising leaf at the end the second volume.
In a pretty, near-contemporary pastiche binding.
