Description
Of this edition of De Maistre's work (our copy in elegant nineteenth-century binding) 210 numbered copies have been published: 20 on Papier de Chine, 20 on Papier Whatman and 170 on Papier de Hollande; our copy bears the number 30 and is therefore part of the edition on Papier Whatman and therefore contains the 6 etchings of Hédouin in double copy, protected by tissue paper (Colophon: les exemplaires en papier de Chine et en papier Whatman contiennent les gravures en double épreuve , avant et avec la lettre). Our specimen is further enhanced by an illustrious provenance: in fact, it comes from the library of the Chateau d'Ermenonville
