Une fille du régent

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.
