Les Etoiles Dernière féerie [avec] Astronomie des dames par le Comte Foelix

First edition of this posthumous work illustrated with 15 unpaged steel-engraved plates by Charles Geoffroy and enhanced in colour, including two frontispieces and a portrait of Grandville.
A beautiful binding, with full boards illustrated by the publisher, spine a little faded and signed Haaraus on the panel stamp, original yellow paper endpapers a little soiled in the margins. Corners slightly rubbed. First and last sheets of the text a little browned, minor and typical for this period.
Superb publication, arguably one of Granville's most poetic, in which - as for his Fleurs animées - the artist represents celestial bodies with young women.
