La mille et deuxième nuit. Jean et Jeanette

The Thousand and Second Night, illustrated with 9 plates by Lalauze. Copy on Arches vellum numbered 312 by hand. Limited edition of 500 copies. Title page in red and black. Curiously, this copy, although justified as simple Arches vellum, is actually on Grand Arches vellum.
Jean and Jeanette, illustrated with 24 compositions by Lalauze. Copy on Arches numbered 331 by hand. Limited edition of 500 copies. Title page in red and black.
Uniform bindings for these 2 works in half morocco with tender green corners. Spine with raised bands decorated in compartments. Titles and dates gilt. Ruled fillets on boards. Top edges gilt. Wrappers and spine preserved (not the spine for The Thousand and Second Night). Spines uniformly faded. Light traces of rubbing, particularly to corners. Paper perfectly fresh, with some offsetting from the engravings in Jean and Jeanette. Full-margined copies, uncut.
Handsome copies.
