Description
Morocco leather binding signed Bernasconi HEREDIA (José-Maria de) Les Trophées. Paris, Lemerre, 1893 (A.I. 29 Dec. 92). In-8. Title in red and black. Copy on fine paper. This copy contains four signed autograph letters (ranging from one to four in-8 pages) and a visiting card. Half burgundy morocco with braided corners, signed BERNASCONI; decorated ribbed spine; publisher’s cover retained; gilt head. Excellent condition. First commercial edition. The ‘Originale’, identical but with the title in black, appeared a month earlier, with a print run of 10 copies which were presented to members of the Académie Française. Heredia was drawn to poetry through reading Leconte de Lisle. These *Trophées* are the only collection of verse he ever published. “What sets it apart,” says J. Lemaître, “is the pursuit of extreme precision within extreme splendour.”
