Beschreibung:

In French. 1852 Garnier Freres (Paris), 7 3/4 x 11 inches tall black hardbound, four raised bands and gilt lettering to spine, all page edges gilt, unpaginated, but approx. 160 pp. Covers rubbed, heavily stained and edgeworn, with light to heavy foxing and staining throughout. Nevertheless offered for its magnificent engravings. Contains 16 of the original 18 engravings of female saints - lacking the engravings of St. Therese and St. Adelaide - together with brief biographies of all 18 women by Georges Darboy (1813-1871), then a French Catholic priest, later bishop of Nancy then archbishop of Paris. (Archbishop Darboy was among a group of prominent hostages executed as the Paris Commune of 1871 was about to be overthrown.) The engravings are the star of this production, made from paintings by prominent French artists of the time, including: Henri-Frederic Schopin, Charles Zacharie Landelle, Louis-Edouard Dubufe, Felix-Joseph Barrias, Pierre Duval Le Camus, Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix and Tony Johannot. Thanks to tissue guards over most of them, and the high-quality heavy stock on which they were printed, they have largely been spared the sometimes heavy foxing found throughout the rest of the volume, and are largely suitable for framing. Included are Saints Genevieve, Agnes, Paule, Bathilde, Felicite, Marie Egyptienne, Monique, Clotilde, Marguerite, Claire, Jeanne de Chantal, Rose de Lima, Justine, Elisabeth de Hongrie, Cecile and Catherine d'Alexandrie. Note that this is a heavy and oversized book, so additional postage will be required for international or priority orders. ~XX~. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers XX-0741-1113
