Should be rebound. Francois La Rochefoucauld - Francois VI also called le Prince de Marcillac Duc de la Rochefoucauld 1613-1680 was a French classical author. He is best known for his 'Memoires' 1664 and the 'Maximes' 1665. These epigrams are famous for the way that they express harsh or paradoxical truths in the briefest manner. La Rochefoucauld was a cynical observer of Louis XIV's court who saw in human behavior mostly selfishness hypocrisy and weakness. In his pessimism La Rochefoucauld was very democratic - everybody is a sinner. His insights have influenced amongst others Lord Chesterfield Franklin Thomas Hardy Nietzsche Stendhal and Gide.

After a turbulent youth of court intrigue and aristocratic rebellions against King Louis XIII François Duc de La Rochefoucauld 1613-80 settled into a quiet life in the Parisian salons of Madame de Sablé Madame de Sévigné and Madame de La Fayette. It was among this intellectual witty society that he honed the pithy epigrams that would have such an influence on French literature and culture. As the Oxford Companion notes "The high degree of polish in the phrasing of the 'Maximes' which excel in conciseness precision and appropriateness of expression is to some extent due to discussions among his friends . . . . The work is a collection of some 500 gnomic sentences in which the author analyses the motives of human conduct with merciless penetration. While he recognizes in rare cases the existence of pure virtue and disinterested sentiments he finds them tainted almost universally with some element of self-love or interested motive." Voltaire drew on La Rochefoucauld's views when writing "Candide" and the "Maximes" impacted the works of French writers from Stendhal to André Gide as well as philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche and English novelist Thomas Hardy. The duke's worldview would have resonated with former owner William Grenfell Baron Desborough 1855-1945 a sportsman and indefatigable public servant who was one of the founding members of The Souls fl. 1886-1900 an elite group of friends whose social gatherings for intellectual discussions were perhaps Victorian London's closest approximation of a Parisian salon. Although other members included prominent and accomplished men and women it was the parties given by Grenfell's wife and fellow Soul Ettie that attracted guests like Vita Sackville-West H. G. Wells Edith Wharton Oscar Wilde Edward VII when Prince of Wales and Winston Churchill. One can easily imagine one of the Souls presenting this volume to the Grenfells for Christmas in 1895.<br /> <br /> By one of the great London workshops the binding here is a modified example of the fanfare style of decoration popular in France from the late 16th to mid-17th century. The main features of this style in Glaister's words "are interlacing ribbons" that form "compartments of various shapes with emphasis given to a central compartment." Ornaments made with small hand tools "fill all the compartments except the central one and almost completely cover the sides." The fanfare style is perhaps most frequently associated with the work of Nicolas and Clovis Eve court binders and booksellers to successive kings of France from about 1578 to 1634. It is generally believed that the term "fanfare" actually took its name from an early 17th century music book the title of which begins with the word "fanfare" acquired by the bibliophile Charles Nodier in 1829. The book was bound for Nodier by the famous Parisian binder Joseph Thouvenin using an appropriately retrospective design in imitation of the Eves' style which from that point forward came to be known as "fanfare." The Zaehnsdorf bindery produced a number of bindings in this genre with their usual expertise. Hungarian-born Joseph Zaehnsdorf 1816-86 served his apprenticeship in Stuttgart worked at a number of European locations as a journeyman and then settled in London where he was hired first by Westley and then by Mackenzie before opening his own workshop in 1842. His son and namesake took over the business at 33 when the senior Joseph died and the firm flourished under the son's leadership becoming a leading West End bindery. Over the years Zaehnsdorf employed a considerable number of distinguished binders including the Frenchman Louis Genth who was chief finisher from 1859-84 and trained a number of others including Roger de Coverly and Sarah Prideaux. A family-run business until 1947 the Zaehnsdorf bindery continued to produce consistently attractive tasteful and innovative designs executed with unfailing skill. It is generally understood that the Zaehnsdorf firm reserved the use of its oval stamp showing a binder at work for their finest bindings including those entered in exhibitions. [Imprimé par D.
