FLORIAN (Jean-Pierre Claris de). Galatea, pastoral novel; imitated from Cervantes. Fourth edition. Paris : printing house of Didot l'aîné, 1785. - In-18, red morocco, triple gilt fillet framing the covers, smooth spine decorated, inner gilt roulette, gilt edges (period binding). Charming edition illustrated with a frontispiece, a dedication leaf, a portrait of Cervantes and 4 plates, engraved by Guyard after Flouest. This is a reprint of the 1783 edition, with the same figures. A good copy despite a dull corner. Small trace of wetness on the bottom of the last two plates.
