Beschreibung

Fine hardcover first edition with gilt lettering on leather spine. No DJ. French language collection of plays performed during the French Revolution arranged chronologically from 1789 to 1796. Six Plays by six playwrights: Marie-Joseph Chenier (1789), Monvel (1791), Le Citoyen Laya (1793), P. Sylvain Marechal (1793), Le Citoyen Ducancel (listed as year 3, but you would have to do a little research to learn if this is dated from the revolution or the establishment of the Republic. My guess is the latter, 1795), citoyen Maillot (1796). Some of these plays are followed by extensive collections of letters written by and to the authors of the plays and other ephemera along with text notes by the editor. All of this in french, mind you. This volume is physically gorgeous. Ridged leather spine, marbled front cover, marbled endpapers, sewn signatures arched and hammered out precisely at the edges to the width of the covers . Binding straight and tight. When they say "they don't make them like they used to," this is one of the books they're talking about. There is a slight indentation at the edge of the back cover and minor shelf wear to top and bottom of spine and boards. Gilt lettering is slightly faded. Uniform age toning to all pages commensurate with age. 448 pages. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 000341
