Description from the seller
A very beautiful publication dedicated to the 18th century, richly illustrated: 20 H.-T. engravings in phototypy, including a portrait of Marie-Antoinette on the frontispiece and numerous others in the text.
Beautiful publisher's binding, in dark green leather, with a long-grain maroquiné effect, spine with five false bands decorated with foliate interlacing and fillets, gilded. The front cover is richly decorated with a frame and foliate interlacing with fillets; the second cover features the same decoration but in blind. The endpapers and flyleaves are covered with pink lining fabric resembling eighteenth-century textile. Gilded edges.
Worn back, scuffing on the caps, lighter on the bits and corners. Impeccable interior. Good condition.
In summary: I. The Court II. The Salons III. Paris & Province IV. The Fine Arts and the Theater V. The Philosophers VI. The Statesmen and the Men of War.
Collective
The eighteenth century. Morals, the arts, ideas. Contemporary accounts and testimonies.
Paris Hachette, 1899
Fort In-4 (31 x 22 cm); iv-443pp.
