Alexandre Dumas - Le Comte de Monte-Cristo [rare 1ère éd. in-12 reliée à l'époque avec tous les tomes à la bonne date] - 1846

Alexandre Dumas. The Count of Monte Cristo.

At Michel Lévy, Paris 1846, 6 volumes in-12 (12 x 18 cm), complete.

Period binding strictly in dark green half-leather, smooth spine, gilt bookplate at the tail ([Chateau de] Monthorin).

First edition in-12 of one of the most famous novels in French literature. This edition is uncommon, as is the case here, with all volumes dated 1846; it is all the more valuable since the original edition of 1844-1846 is exceedingly rare. Clouzot listed the first in-12 edition as the 1850 reprint.

Warped copy with foxing but preserved "in its natural state" and well complete with all its half-titles, titles and all its pages including the table leaves.

Provenance: Chateau de Monthorin.
