N.p.n.d. [Paris, 1789].
Large 4to [273 x 215 mm] composed of 30 full-page plates mounted on guards. Marbled calf, covers richly decorated with corner fleurons and gilt borders, spine ribbed and decorated, inner gilt border. Later binding.
The rarest of all the illustrated French books from the 18th century, extremely rare in contemporary colors.
Cohen 248.
This copy contains the first of the two series finely executed by Moreau le Jeune and printed successively. It is composed of 30 plates, with as much flags, which pole is held by a national guard; plates are numbered 1 to 30.
The 30 plates are here in a state before-the-letter, with handwritten legends. Destailleur's copy, the only other one recorded, had printed legends.
We know that these engravings,
"one of the rarest and finest products of the Revolution",would have been drawn, printed and colored in a single night, on July 18th, 1789 and that the drawings would be the work of Moreau le Jeune.
The faces of the national guards are very well… Read More

Description:
Paris, chez Delloye et Leipzig chez Brockhaus et Avenarius, 1838.
2 volumes 8vo [208 x 125 mm] of : I/(2) ll., III pp., 488 pp.; II/ (2) ll., 476 pp., (2) ll. A few browned ll. in volume 2. Aubergine half-calf, flat spines decorated, sprinkled edges. Contemporary binding.
First edition of this "text which importance ended up appearing".
Vicaire, Manuel de l'amateur, I, 289 ; Carteret, I, 163 ; Sabin 12252.
"Text which importance ended up appearing, it is indeed a part, and not negligible, of 'Mémoires d'Outre-tombe.'" (Clouzot, p. 66)
Chateaubriand published it in 1838 to justify his activity as Minister of Foreign Affairs to the public opinion.
We recognize the dazzling style of the writer in it, the polemists' verve, the imagination of the poet. The book contains many passages from Mémoires d'Outre-tombe, Chateaubriand having hesitated for a long time to reinstate this text in his major work.
"This book is by no means void of interest; it is really written with great cleverness; and although… Read More
