First edition, very rare, like all first editions by the author. Half morocco binding with black long-grain corners from the late 19th century signed by Pouillet. Smooth spine decorated with mirror tooling. Author, title and date gilt. Double fillet on boards. Lack to lower corner of half-title and title. P.7 small lack to upper right corner. Paper perfectly fresh. Romantic drama set in Madrid, where Gautier expresses his passion for bullfighting.
