1799réf. ST17632cParis: de l'Imprimerie de Crapelet an VII 1799. 228 x 150 mm. 9 x 6". Two volumes. Very attractive 19th century red morocco by Capé stamp-signed in gilt on front turn-in French fillet border raised bands compartments with central quatrefoil surrounded by lacy gilt tooling gilt lettering gilt dentelles all edges gilt. Housed in a later marbled slipcase. WITH engraved frontispiece by Gaucher and 21 ENGRAVED PLATES after Marillier Monsiau and Ponce as called for AND EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED WITH 46 PLATES comprised of a suite of 20 small plates a suite of 21 large plates and five portraits. Verso of front free endpaper with the bookplate of Jacques Bastenet. Cohen-de Ricci 1035; Graesse VI 393. See also: Cohen-de Ricci 1047-48 for the plates by Moreau. ◆Two three-inch abrasions on one cover and a hint of wear to joints both very well disguised by refurbishment leather faintly soiled but the decorative bindings still lustrous and quite pleasing without any significant condition issues. Occasional mostly light foxing never serious and most of the plates clean but noticeable enough to be regrettable some of the smaller extra-illustrations slightly browned due to paper stock but still a book with considerable appeal inside and out with the engravings richly impressed. This printing of Voltaire's mock-heroic "Pucelle" a licentious burlesque based on the Joan of Arc story features the same beautiful engravings found in the Didot edition of 1795 but without the frames plus two additional suites of plates taken from other editions. The set of 20 small plates seem to be close copies of Gravelot's illustrations from the 1762 Geneva edition of "La Pucelle"; the set of 21 larger images are by Moreau all but two being before letters. The latter set probably comes from the suite of images for Voltaire's "Oeuvres" published by Renouard in 1802 of which there were just 40 copies before letters according to Cohen-de-Ricci. Capé was one of the most distinguished binders in France in the middle years of the 19th century being especially well known for the delicacy of his work as evidenced by our spines. He was the binder to the Empress Eugénie and Béraldi calls him "the Bozérian of the second Empire.". de l'Imprimerie de Crapelet unknown

1927réf. ST15053eLondon: Nonesuch Press 1927. No. 303 of 1500 copies. 191 x 121 mm. 7 1/2 x 4 3/4". 4p.l. 156 pp. 1 leaf. Original boards covered in marbled paper in muted tones of rose blue and cream parchment spine and tips top edge gilt other edges untrimmed. 11 elegant full-page illustrations and three vignettes by Thomas Lowinsky. Dreyfus 48. ◆Tiny dent to head of spine otherwise A NEAR-MINT COPY clean bright and unread. Described in its prospectus as "the airiest and most charming of all Voltaire's romances" this fable set in an exotic land reveals the frothy précieux side of Voltaire's complex personality. Lowinsky 1892-1947 has cleverly illustrated the tale with willowy figures sporting the towering hairdos and plunging necklines of Voltaire's own time and place to suggest that the frivolity of the story reflects homegrown decadence. This was the first of four books he illustrated for Nonesuch; his style is reminiscent of that of Beardsley. Nonesuch Press unknown
