Le lion amoureux. Comédie en cinq actes, en vers., édition originale
François PONSARD
Paris - Michel Lévy Frères - 1866
- Format : In-8.
- Number of volumes : 1 volume.
- Binding : Bound.
- Collation : 114 pp.
Period full red morocco binding decorated with Duseuil. Finely decorated spine with nerves. Golden lace inside. All edges gilt. Binding signed PETIT succ. de Simier.
Exceptional copy, printed on Holland paper, enriched with a SELF SENDING by the author: "to Mrs. J. Janin, my dear, my maid, my my excellent friend, my devoted protector, my gracious guardian angel! I gently put under the shadow of his wings the volume charged with carrying my deep attachment and tender gratitude to him. His wife, Mary Ponsard, added a note from her hand to Mrs. Janin.
The volume is also enriched with a SELF-POEME SIGNED by F. Ponsard entitled "La fermeette se livre".
Finally, the volume contains an engraved portrait and a figure on China. We assume that it was constituted in this way at the time to be offered to the Janin couple, arbiter of the bibliophilic elegances of the time.'
Very beautiful and enriched copy.
