‎London Paris: Fisher son & Co. 1841. Fine. Fisher son & Co. London • Paris S.n. 1841-1846 22 x 27.20 cm 2 Vol. reliés First edition illustrated with 148 steel-engraved plates including 96 in the first three volumes by Thomas Allom; the fourth volume comprises 52 plates including 36 by Eugène Lami and 16 by Allom. Full midnight blue glazed calf. Flat spine with false raised bands decorated with various roulettes and fillets with some compartments in morocco. Covers decorated with rich Romantic frieze and angular blind stamps. Red morocco title-label. Marbled edges. Scratches to covers. Headcaps and joints lightly rubbed. Superb English binding. Volume IV which is often lacking is the translation of Un été à Paris by Jules Janin. Through its illustrations one finds a Balzacian Paris. It should be noted that the first volume contains numerous scenes of the Pyrenees very fashionable at the time. Another volume contains numerous scenes of the Loire Saumur Angers Amboise. The work thus seeks to bring together everything remarkable to be found in France both from an architectural and landscape perspective with illustrations accompanying the historical and descriptive text. The illustrative richness is remarkable and one can admire equally the château de Pau and the Panthéon the cirque de Gavarni and the cathedral of Orléans. What is interesting is that following the trends of the time the engravings feature figures in period costume and often show places as they were then. Fisher, son, & Co. hardcover‎

‎Reflexions sur les Constitutions de l'abbaye de La Trappe‎

‎à Ville-Franche Villefranche-de-Rouergue: Chez Pierre Granseigne 1678. Fine. Chez Pierre Granseigne à Ville-Franche Villefranche-de-Rouergue 1678 8 x 14.30 cm relié Rare edition printed in Villefranche after the original of 1671 published in Paris. Work attributed to Bernard de Montfaucon but whose authorship is disputed. Binding in black half-shagreen late 19th century. Jansenist spine with raised bands with title and date. Trimmed short on title page. Bernard de Montfaucon originally from Roquetaillade near Limoux was one of the most erudite men of his time and thereby one of the most famous of his era notably for his monumental work: antiquity explained in figures. He was a Benedictine of the congregation of Saint Maur. The abbey of La Trappe founded by the order of Cistercians was annexed to the domain of the Benedictines. It was reformed in the 17th century according to 'the rule of strict observance' by the abbot de Rancé much more rigid and severe than that of the Cistercians. It is precisely this reform that Bernard de Montfaucon comments upon a reform which breathed new spiritual life into Christianity and which saved the abbey of La Trappe from the oblivion and decadence into which many abbeys fell at that time. NB: This work is available at the bookshop on request within 48 hours. Chez Pierre Granseigne hardcover‎
