Occasional mild marginal foxing otherwise a fine copy clean smooth and bright internally with generous margins. Printed by order of the king of France for the education of the Dauphin this lovely large-format Didot edition of the poetry of Jean-Baptiste Rousseau is offered here in a wonderful Neoclassical binding. Dramatist and poet Rousseau 1671-1941 produced formal odes and sacred cantatas but was best known for his biting and witty epigrams which Britannica tells us "are considered his best work and are perhaps the best of their kind in the 18th century." The vicious digs brought him fame but also attracted suits for libel and defamation which resulted in his being exiled from France for the last 29 years of his life. The present work contains 23 examples of these witticisms. Our master binder Kalthoeber 1775-1817 was "considered during his day to be the finest binder in the world" according to Maggs Catalogue 966. He came to London from Germany along with several countrymen in order to fill the need generated by the gentlemanly English fashion of forming large libraries filled with sumptuous bindings working at first for the well-respected Baumgarten and then succeeding him in 1781. One of his bindings was priced at the unheard of sum of 30 guineas and its reputation became such that George III insisted upon seeing it; his fame spread to the point where the Czarina made persistent but fruitless efforts to induce Kalthoeber to come to St. Petersburg. Although our binding is not signed it shares tools and a nearly identical design with item no. 189 in volume II of "The Henry Davis Gift" where Foot observes that Kalthoeber had used these tools and design on at least six other bindings and with items #164 in Maggs Catalogue 1212 where it is noted that Kalthoeber acquired the Eagle tool when he took over the Baumgarten workshop. The present combination of stately printing and regal binding is a superb example of the best kind of book production in the late 18th century. P. Didot, fils a�n� de F. A. Didot l'a�n� unknown
