Beschreibung

[Wine] Opuscule sur la vinification: Traitant des vices des méthodes usitées pour la fabrication des vins, et des avantages du procédé de Mlle Elizabeth Gervais, brevetée du gouvernement par ordonnance de S. M. Louis XVIII, pour la même fabrication, Jean Antoine Gervais, A. Montpellier, De l'Imprimerie de J.G. Tournel, place Louis XVI, N.P., 1820, 5.25 x 8 5/8 inches, 112 pp. Quarter leather marbled boards; raised bands on spine; gilt stamped lettering and floral design to spine; corners slightly worn; spine lightly faded; decorative endpapers appear to be more recent addition; interior pages clean, no markings; very good condition. French-language book on winemaking. English translation of the title reads: "Pamphlet on winemaking: Dealing with the defects of the methods used for the manufacture of wines, and the advantages of the process of Miss Elizabeth Gervais, patented by the government by order of H. M. Louis XVIII, for the same production." I was unable to find information on Elizabeth Gervais or her method of wine production, but the book discusses the problems with conventional winemaking methods and the superiority of wine produced using Gervais' process. The book appears to have been re-bound more recently than 1820; the endpapers are halftone printed, and there are a few blank flyleaves at each end that are a different texture, and are not at all edge-worn or age soiled.
