DIDOT 1864 inner gilt dentelles marbled endpapers edges gilt custom cloth case; only slightest wave to a few leaves otherwise a very good and attractive copy. Front pastedown with the typographic bookplate of Robert Percy Alden an American Gilded Age lawyer and collector hailing from Pennsylvania who died in 1909. <br/><br/>Fine French edition of the Odes of Anacreon edited and produced by Ambroise Firmin-Didot 17901876 reusing the illustrations in a reduced scale by the French artist Girodet Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson 17671824. Girodets graceful neoclassic designs were executed in the revived Second Empire style and engraved by his pupil Henri-Guillaume Chatillon 17801856. J. B. de Saint-Victor originally commissioned the Girodet illustrations in 1808 but only two complete designs were published with his translation in 1810. Girodet continued to work on the illustrations privately as well as his own translation of the ancient Greek Odes until his death in 1824. Ambroise Firmin-Didot was an accomplished classicist editor and man of letters within the established line of Didot printers in Paris. This production is an outstanding example of one of the finely printed classics issuing from the renowned Didot press. It maintains the distinctive Didot typographic layout and refined use of red and black inks. The introductory text of a later English edition of the Odes 1869 by Thomas Moore notes that the Firmin-Didot edition was sold at the almost prohibitive price of two pounds. Wonderful copy most likely bound for Robert Percy Aldens American villa-library in the late 19th century. Alden spent several of his Yale post-graduate years in Europe and was married in Paris in 1878 when he likely procured this book. Ambroise Firmin-Didot hardcover books
