Huges de Jouvancourt has created a beautiful set of prints to illuminate this edition of a classic French love story. "Paul et Virginie sometimes known in English as Paul and Virginia is a novel by Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre first published in 1788. The novel's title characters are friends since birth who fall in love. The story is set on the island of Mauritius under French rule then named Île de France. Written on the eve of the French Revolution the novel is recognized as Bernardin's finest work. It records the fate of a child of nature corrupted by the artificial sentimentality of the French upper classes in the late eighteenth century. Bernardin de Saint-Pierre lived on the island for a time and based part of the novel on a shipwreck he witnessed there." wiki. Éditions Esclapon hardcover
