Only light edgewear and some bumped corners slightest spots otherwise crisp and clean interior. The Count d'Artois friend to Marie Antoinette and lover of the arts sought to stimulate a renewal in fiction with the printing of this collection of novels in 35 titles. The overall collection of 64 volumes was printed from 1781 to 1784 and edited by the order of Louis XVI. Just two years later the French monarchy would be in crisis; bankrupt and facing various political upheavals in the years leading up to the Revolution. This surviving set dates from the time of relative peace before upheaval and before the Count later reigned as Charles X in the post-Revolution era in 1824. These survive as early relics of the French monarch's cultural interests and endeavors. François-Ambroise Didot printed no more than 100 copies as a whole impression; 60 with the arms of the prince and at least 40 were on common paper without the Count’s heraldry as in these while others were produced on vellum See Ebert 4938. These works are extremely neatly printed on laid paper and stand as a precursor to Didot’s prolific typographic and printing career. Complete copies of the Count d’Artois’s collection are of utmost rarity; these portative sixteen make up an excellent union.
