Very good. Sammelband containing a MS title-page and 18 printed works foliated 5-138 2-4 see below 139-320. At end: MS contents leaf enumerating the "Ordre des pieces renfermes dans ce Recueil." Contemporary French mottled calf worn spine gilt red morocco lettering piece marbled endpapers edges stained red. Very good condition. Sammelband of "all" the legal tracts concerning the sensational lawsuits between Pierre de Beaumarchais and his nemesis Magistrate Goezman. Our volume features 18 such tracts sic. Unusually the MS title-page gives the name of the compiler one M. Navarre who had lately returned from the West Indies for the second time who created the Sammelband on behalf of his friend M. Desarnod in the same year that all the tracts were published namely 1774. Beaumarchais the French inventor musician courtier diplomat and playwright is now best remembered as the author of The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro. He also deserves a place in legal history -- not only because he was a professional litigant but also because he had considerable skill in cross-examination as well. See Robert A. Hendrickson "Beaumarchais as Cross-Examiner" in: American Bar Association Journal Vol. 52 No. 6 June 1966 pp. 559-563. CONTENTS of the Sammelband and the order that they are to appear are given in a contemporary MS leaf no doubt from Navarre to his binder found at the end of the volume.

Paris: de líImprimerie de la SociÈtÈ LittÈraireñTypographique chez Ruault 1785. First edition second printing. Royal octavo. li 199 pp. plus the errata leaf and five engravings by SaintñQuentin. Together with the excessively rare suppressed suite of engravings by Naudet laid in at end. Full 19th century red morocco decoratively stamped in gilt; gilt board edges and dentelles; all edges gilt; marbled endpapers. Faint foxing primarily to preliminary and terminal leaves. An extremely attractive copy. Housed in a custom quarter red morocco clamshell case. The suite of five engravings by Naudet was executed for an edition which was never printed and the plates were subsequently suppressed. They are especially rare when seen with their full margins as here. Le Mariage de Figaro Beaumarchaisí masterpiece influenced French literature by reviving the ìcomedy of intrigueî which had declined since MoliËre. In addition Le Mariage de Figaro was one of the first plays which fully incorporated Diderotís theories of acting and stageñcraft. ìIn 1784 the year of its first performance it was repeated sixtyñsix times. ìPublic interest was whetted by its satirical references to the aristocracy and it was this that first won it fame. Although greeted with enthusiasm by French society it in fact contributed largely to its destruction. It is however the music of Mozart which has immortalized it as the perfect type of comedy.î Cohen-Ricci pp. 125/6. Printing and the Mind of Man 230.

Cordier: Bibliographie des oeuvres de Beaumarchais no. 128 stating that the earliest issues of this edition do not contain engraved plates. Without the printed note to the foot of p. 152 found in later issues. With a printed note to the final page of the play stating that the music was by Antoine Laurent Baudron 1742-1834 who also collaborated with Beaumarchais in providing music for his "Le Barbier de Séville" including the famous tune "Je suis Lindor" the theme of which has been used by Mozart for his 12 Variations K354/299a. Beaumarchais was harp teacher to the daughters of Louis XV. "He successfully included Baudron's storm music as a prelude to Act 4 of Le barbier and alongside continued use of vaudeville tunes in Le mariage de Figaro. stretched Comédie Française conventions by introducing a whole scene of dance song and mime for the 'coronation' of Suzanne with the bride's head-dress. As if to vindicate Beaumarchais's musical instinct Le barbier de Séville attracted settings by Benda Paisiello Isouard and Rossini while the Mozart-Da Ponte collaboration in Le nozze di Figaro proved just how much of the original play was translatable into music."

This play is his famous sequel to his earlier Le Barbier de Seville. It was first performed in 1784 and because of its immediate success there are many editions printed in 1785 this being the first. It was the later inspiration for the operas of Rossini and Mozart. Tchemerzine II p. 14-15: "The first edition was published without illustrations. Very soon after 5 illustrations by St Quentin were added." Printing and the Mind of Man 230: "Public interest was whetted by its satirical references to the aristocracy and it was this that first won it fame.

1927ref. 002208Paris: Henry Babou 1927. Limited First Edition. Half Morocco over decorated paper with original wraps bound in . Very Good. No. 51 of 525 this being one of 50 copies on papier verge blanc de Hollande with pochoir plates also on Hollande and thus a more special copy than the vast majority of the limitation. Bound by Donnelley of Chicago. The watercolors of Montassier were printed with a pochoir process by the master of pochoir Jean Saude. The pochoir plates and headers at the beginning of each of the five acts dazzle with their lucious color. 4to. 29 by 23 cm 11.5 by 9 inches. 139 2 pp. With ten pochoir color plates. Henri Montassier 1880 - 1946 painted in a wide range of genres and was an active contributor to such well-known periodicals as "Le Sourire" "L'Illustration" and "La Baionnette". Jean Saude is unquestionably better known today in part because he wrote the most authoritative treatise on the pochoir process when its popularity was on the rise. The morocco is rubbed along the joints and is worn in the lower corners with a few tiny spots of wear elsewhere along the edge. The paper pasted onto the boards features a design of a Centaur pipes an urn each bordered by vines. The paper is sunned or faded somewhat particularly along the edges. Still the binding is attractive as a single unit and in all its components. Within a few pages have light foxing. Otherwise the paper is luxuriant and impressive. Some offsetting from the pochoirs onto the opposite pages. Henry Babou paperback books

1785ref. 6595Deffau and Leipzig: G.eorg J.oachim Gschen 1785. Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo 195 x 107mm. 140pp. Translated by Josef Kainz. Full-page engraved frontispiece depicting scene from the Marriage of Figaro. Text in Old German type. Later paper boards; lightly browned somewhat worn. The French comedy Le Mariage de Figaro 1778 is a play in five acts by Beaumarchais set in the period before the French Revolution. Beaumarchais in rank with dramatists like Moliere wrote stage characters of such a sharp political quality that he often provoked numerous scandals and bans on his work. A censorship on the performances set for 1784 and 1785 in Paris and Vienna respectively prompted several revised issues of the play to be published. This 1785 copy dating from these controversial years is from the well-known Gschen press in Leipzig. Georg Joachim Gschen 1752-1828 was known to be a man of striking originality irrepressible energy and great intellectual power. His publishing firm quickly rose to prominence in Leipzig where he befriended many famed writers from the Golden Age of German Literature and famously published the first collection of Goetheís writings.

Minor foxing front free endsheet neatly excised otherwise a very good copy. One of several printings of this celebrated comedy from Paris and elsewhere dated within the year of first authorized publication and like the proper first impression published without the plates. It is however possible that this printing is a "contrefacon" as the collation and ornaments differ from Ruault's editions reproduced in Tchemerzine or noted in Cordier. However the extended preface and approbations that were often omitted from the pirated editions are here present as are the imprint of Ph.-D. Pierres and the assertion "Achevé d'imprimer pour la premiere fois le 28 Fevrier 1785" and it is not among those piracies recorded by either Cordier or Tchemerzine. One of the most influential of 18th century French plays both at home and abroad -- after its first performance in April 1784 it was promptly translated and/or produced in Stockholm Nuremberg Lisbon Madrid London Copenhagen St. Petersburg and Budapest.
