A unique numbered copy on Japon paper, enriched - in addition to the etchings in three proofs present in the copies of this edition - with intermediate states and pure etchings purchased by the first owner of the work from various sources, including the engraver Monziès.
The owner's handwritten notes - dated - are inscribed on the inside back cover of the second volume.
A very fine edition of this text by Lesage - the author of Gil Blas - originally published in 1707.
Superb copy
