Marguerite Aubert

The very rare first edition.

Full glazed red calf bindings, smooth spines ornately decorated with gilt vegetal motifs, black calf title labels, gilt tooling on the headcaps, frames of quadruple black and gilt fillets enhanced with gilt fleurons at the corners on marbled paper boards, pink paper endpapers and pastedowns slightly soiled at margins, all edges gilt, gilt fillets at head and tail of leading edges, contemporary bindings.

Some light rubbing to boards, some minor foxing.

A handsome and rare copy of this work dedicated to his friend Béranger bound in an elegant contemporary Romantic binding.
