Maroquin bleu à long grain plats à encadrements ornés de larges roulettes et filets à froid et dorés dos richement orné roulette intérieure tranches dorées reliure signée de Simier R. du Roi. . La plus luxueuse édition illustrée de Paul et Virgnie en partie originale et qui fixe le texte définitif. Elle est illustrée d'un portrait de l'auteur et de 6 planches hors texte gravées sur cuivre par Bourgeois de la Richardière Bovinet Mecou Prot Ribault Roger et Tillement. . Les éditions de Paul et Virginie sont nombreuses : c'est le best-seller de l'époque dès le XVIIIe siècle. Si l'édition la plus célèbre est évidemment la fameuse édition Curmer de 1838 richement illustrée et destinée à un large public la plus luxueuse et la plus belle des éditions est éditée trente ans auparavant par l'imprimerie de Firmin Didot en 1806 sur un beau papier d'Essone. Une édition à l'opposé de la Curmer : peu d'illustrations un tirage très limité un grand format et un prix élevé. Les exemplaires en sont le plus souvent luxueusement reliés par les meilleurs ateliers de l'époque. Cette édition est supervisés par l'auteur y adjoignant un préambule inédit où il revient sur la création des gravures oeuvre de Lafitte « Enfance de Paul et Virginie » Girodet « Le Passage du torrent » Baron Gérard « Arrivée de M. de la Bourdonnais » Moreau le jeune « Les Adieux de Paul et Virginie » Isabey « Les tombeaux » et Prudhon pour la plus célèbre d'entre elles : « Le Naufrage de Virginie ». « Comment M. Prud'hon a-t-il pu renfermer de si grands objets dans un si petit espace où a-t-il trouvé les modèles de ces mobiles et fugitifs effets que l'art ne peut poser et dont la nature seule ne nous présente que de rapides images . Si M. Prud'hon réussit par la pureté de ses crayons et l'élégance de ses formes à rendre des divinités il intéresse encore davantage selon moi en représentant des mortelles . Il est selon moi le La Fontaine des dessinateurs. » C'est la dernière édition parue du vivant de l'auteur et revue par ses soins.
