AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Le diable boiteux - London, Pierre van Cleef, 1768 - (10) 237 (2); (4) 220 (2) pp - leather bindings
Good. Scuffs and bumps. Three ex libris marks. Interior pages browned, here and there a spot, foxing especially from page 168 to the end of Part 1. Some worm-eaten spots,
Part 1: some loss of leather at the head of the spine, a pinhead-sized wormhole in the lower corner from the beginning to page 223, then a worm track about 1.5 cm to the end
Part 2: some loss of leather at the head and tail of the spine, lower half of the left hinge brittle
Contains 13 engravings - all pictured
Although London appears on the title page, this is a so-called false imprint: the book was in fact printed in the Netherlands or France to circumvent strict French censorship and to give the work extra prestige. The well-known publisher Pierre van Cleef actually operated from The Hague.
