AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful complete set in 6 volumes of the Complete Works of Molière, preceded by a biographical notice by M. L. B. Picard, a member of the French Academy.
This second edition, published in Paris in 1827 by Baudouin Frères, brings together all the major comedies, farces, ballets and other works of the most famous French dramatist. A leading figure of classical literature, Molière remains one of the most performed and studied authors of the French language.
Uniformly bound in Havana brown half-calf leather of the period, with smooth backs richly decorated with gilded romantic tooling, and with gilt titles and volume numbers. The bindings are homogeneous and solid. They show some rubbing and light signs of wear at the heads, joints and corners, without seriousness. The interiors are generally fresh, with occasional foxing typical for books of this era.
A beautiful decorative set, sought after both for the quality of its binding and for its literary interest, ideal for a library of French classics.
