Descrição fornecida pelo vendedor
The item up for auction is a rare historical large-format work "Histoire de la Révolution de mil huit cent trente" (History of the Revolution of 1830) by M. Petit, a Knight of the Legion of Honour and Lieutenant of the Municipal Guard, who was a direct participant in the events. Published in Paris in 1837, this book is an exclusive second edition dedicated to King Louis Philippe. This monumental volume stands out for its rich illustrations, containing a total of 40 full-page period lithographs that detail key battle scenes from the Parisian barricades, street riots, and full-length portraits of the main figures of the July Revolution, including General Lafayette. The back of the book features an extensive nominal historical register of citizens awarded the July Cross and the July Medal for merit.
Condition: The book is preserved in a period half-leather binding with paper-covered boards and a gilt-embossed spine bearing the year 1830. The volume shows heavy signs of age and wear: the leather spine is cracked, scuffed, and significantly damaged at both the top and bottom headbands with loss of material. The edges of the paper boards are heavily scuffed, and the corners are frayed down to the underlying cardboard structure due to wear. The interior text block is complete but loose at the hinges. Throughout the entire volume, the paper exhibits strong foxing (age spots) and mild toning typical for its age, which affects both text and plate pages. The condition is fully documented in the attached photographs.
The book will be very carefully packaged and shipped promptly via a reliable international courier.
