ANGLEMONT (Édouard Hubert Scipion d').
FRENCH LEGENDS. Paris: L. Dureuil, 1829. - NEW FRENCH LEGENDS.
[Paris: Mame-Delaunay, 1833]. - 2 volumes in one in-8, black half-chagrin, spine ribbed and decorated, spotted edges (binding around 1850).
First edition of these two collections of poetic legends. The first one is illustrated with a woodcut vignette after Devéria on the title.
PRECIOUS EXAMPLE OF THE WOMAN OF LETTERS JULIE RÉCAMIER (1777-1849), bearing this dispatch from the author on the false title :
" à Madame Récamier // Hommage de L'auteur "
This copy is all the more interesting as Madame Récamier is the dedicatee of the third legend of the " Nouvelles légendes françaises ", entitled " Mélusine "
.
A good copy of which the two volumes were bound together in the years 1850-60. The binder has not kept the false title and the title of the second collection.
Spine re-stained. Freckles, light wetness on the edges of the last leaves.
