A few gatherings unopened. Ray 272 first Jouaust edition. Spines slightly darkened though hard to tell this because of all the gilt one volume with front joint a bit rubbed about a third of the volumes with occasional minor foxing a few marginal stains and soiling other trivial imperfections but A VERY FINE SET clean fresh and unusually bright internally and in very pleasing scarcely worn bindings.<br/> <br/> Printed on fine paper and in richly decorated bindings this is a handsome set of the works of the great French playwright. Under the stage name "Molière" actor and playwright Jean-Baptist Poquelin 1622-73 penned and produced satirical plays--many of which caused considerable scandal--at the Parisian theater now known as the Comédie Française. According to Britannica "the actor in him influenced his writing since he wrote at speed what he could most naturally act. . . . He is a classical writer yet he is ready to defy all rules of writing." The present multi-volume edition was produced by the Librairie des Bibliophiles founded by printer Damase Jouaust 1834-93 who specialized in luxury printings intended for bibliophiles issued on special papers and often with attractive etchings as here. Ray writes that Jouaust's Moliere first published in 1876-83 was "his most ambitious undertaking." The present smaller-format reprinting contains new plates after the same illustrations by Louis Leloir which Ray tells us were "carefully meditated" with great attention to accurate depictions of the period. The fine paper is thick and creamy and fortunately for us the pages bear almost no signs of use. Joseph Brétault 1856-1903 whose atelier was known for its fine work bound 16 of the volumes here while the remaining unsigned bindings are in consistent red morocco with well executed and elegant gilding.

The set is offered here in simply decorated but elegant bindings produced by the fine Edinburgh workshop of Andrew Grieve using the highest quality materials. Grieve was a first-rate binder but he is best known as the teacher of Charles McLeish who worked 16 years for the exacting Cobden-Sanderson as finisher at the Doves Bindery. Under the stage name "Molière" actor and playwright Jean-Baptiste Poquelin 1622-73 penned and produced satirical plays--many of which caused considerable scandal--at the Parisian theater now known as the Comédie Française. According to Britannica "the actor in him influenced his writing since he wrote at speed what he could most naturally act. . . . His characters are imagined as excitable and excited to the point of incoherence. He sacrifices plot to drama vivacity a sense of life. He is a classical writer yet he is ready to defy all rules of writing." The present collection contains the masterworks "Tartuffe" "The Misanthrope" and "The Bourgeois Gentleman" as well as the scandalous "School for Wives" and lesser-known works--33 plays in all. A scene from each of the plays is depicted in the etchings by the talented and prolific illustrator Lalauze who also contributed a portrait of the playwright. While French in content and with a text in English the present set is Scottish in production and provenance. Translator Henri van Laun 1820-96 was a French master at Edinburgh Academy who was encouraged to undertake this translation into English by his acquaintances among that city's intelligentsia. The books were printed in Edinburgh and bound there probably for former owner Andrew Smith an Edinburgh brewer and bibliophile. W. Paterson unknown

A very attractive copy. A FINE RELIC OF LOUIS-PHILIPPE'S LIBERAL JULY MONARCHY 1830-1848 BEING A SPECIAL CARTONNAGE BINDING CREATED FOR A SINGLE PURPOSE NAMELY FOR PRESENTATION TO AN ATTENDEE OF A COURTLY PRODUCTION OF "LE MISANTHROPE" AT VERSAILLES. <br /> <br /> When Louis-Philippe became king in 1830 the Palace of Versailles had fallen into disrepair having been largely unoccupied for more than four decades. In 1833 he sought to repurpose the sprawling and unimaginably huge complex for a non-residential "public" use a program including building what became the Musee de l'Histoire de France. It is possible that our binding is an expression of his liberal policies of including non-royals in the activities of the palace. <br /> <br /> The front cover is lettered in gold: "Palais de Versailles Spectacle de la Cour Representation du 10 juin 1837." On the back is the armorial device of Louis-Philippe with his "Charte du 9 aout 1830" in which he proclaimed himself as King of the French and not "King of France". <br /> <br /> Cataloguer's note: our copy like that of the UPenn Kislak Center does not have an integral leaf preceding the half-title which was presumably a blank.
