Description
[BIBLIOPHILIA] Catalogue of books from the library of the late Madame la Marquise de Pompadour Dame du palais de la Reine Chez Hérissant, Paris, 1765 - First edition and superb copy of this famous catalogue of great historical and bibliophilic interest, well established in a late 18th century revolutionary binding in half basane with richly decorated smooth spine and red morocco title-piece (slight rubbing not serious), interior very fresh, complete with the engraved portrait of Madame de Pompadour on the frontispiece and above all with all the prices noted in period handwriting in pen (a few comments for books sold separately when they were planned as part of a set in particular). Interesting specimen of revolutionary binding, a nod to a certain irony in binding La Pompadour's library in this way... In-8, xvi. ; 404pp. Lxxvii.
