Very beautiful edition of the most famous French illustrated book of the 18th century printed on the Comte de Provence's private press Louis XVI's brother and future Louis XVIII illustrated with 29 line duplicates of the original figures of the Regent engraved by martini. One of the very rare deluxe copies containing the 29 gouaches printed on vellum. The paintings are of an exceptional freshness. "Publisher Lamy had suites of these engravings printed on vellum gouached and inserted them in deluxe copies." Cohen 655. Monsieur's press was directed by Pierre-François Didot called "Didot jeune" since 1779. In this Greek novel by Longus end of the 2nd century AD the author tells the story of the simple and naive love of Daphnis and Chloe two poor abandoned children. The peculiarity of Longus' work in comparison with the other works of the same kind is to have left the ups and downs in the background and to have given full relief to the sentimental adventures of the protagonists. Daphnis and Chloe have discovered in a slow progression their sexuality and the novel ends precisely on the accomplishment of the carnal act. The novel is celebrating Eros obviously but also Pan and the Nymphs. This book translated in all languages was made fashionable again in France thanks to the regent philippe d'orleans and appeared in several beautiful illustrated editions throughout the 18th century. This edition offers a new translation by de Bure Saint-Fauxbon. Superb copy of which all the engravings have been painted in gouache at the time and enhanced with a painted salmon and black double frame preserved in its contemporary morocco binding. This precious copy belonged to Napoleon III as evidenced by his ex-libris affixed to the contreplat of the binding. Charles-Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte third and last son of Louis King of Holland and Hortense-Eugénie de Beauharnais and nephew of Napoleon I was born in Paris at the Château des Tuileries on April 20 1808 and became on July 22 1832 on the death of the Duke of Reichstadt the direct representative of the Napoleonic dynasty; first settled in Switzerland where he was appointed Captain of artillery in Bern in 1824 he tried in 1836 in Strasbourg to overthrow Louis-Philippe in a military movement; arrested and sent to the United States he made in August 1840 in Boulogne a second failed attempt which resulted in his perpetual imprisonment but he managed to escape from the Fort of Ham on May 26 1846 and reached Belgium; back in France during the 1848 Revolution he was elected Deputy in June 1848 then President of the Republic on December 10 of the same year. His coup of December 2 1851 against the Legislative Assembly gave him the presidency for ten years; finally proclaimed Emperor following a plebiscite of November 21-22 1852 on December 1 1852 Napoleon III married on January 29 1853 Marie-Eugénie de Gusman Countess of Téba second daughter of the Count of Montijo. Under his reign France enjoyed great industrial and commercial prosperity due in part to a number of public utility measures taken by the government while outside a series of wars including the end of the conquest of Algeria gave us Savoy County of Nice and Cochinchina. Following the defeat of Sedan where the Emperor had been taken prisoner the Republic was proclaimed in Paris on September 4. Napoleon III died in exile in Chislehurst England on January 9 1873.

Très belle édition du plus célèbre livre illustré français du XVIIIe siècle imprimée sur la presse privée de Monsieur comte de Provence frère de Louis XVI futur Louis XVIII ornée de 29 copies au trait des figures originales du Régent gravées par Martini. Un des rarissimes exemplaires de luxe contenant les 29 figures gouachées tirées sur vélin. Les peintures sont d'une extrême fraîcheur. " L'éditeur Lamy fit gouacher des suites de ces gravures au trait tirées sur vélin et les inséra dans des exemplaires de luxe. " Cohen 655. L'imprimerie de Monsieur était dirigée par Pierre-François Didot dit Didot jeune depuis 1779. Dans ce roman grec de Longus fin du IIe siècle après Jésus-Christ l'auteur raconte l'histoire de l'amour simple et naïf de Daphnis et Chloé deux pauvres enfants abandonnés. La particularité de l'ouvrage de Longus par comparaison avec les autres ouvrages du même genre c'est d'avoir laissé les péripéties au second plan et d'avoir donné tout le relief aux aventures sentimentales des protagonistes. Daphnis et Chloé ont découvert en une lente progression leur sexualité et le roman s'achève précisément sur l'accomplissement de l'acte charnel. Le roman célèbre Éros bien sûr mais aussi Pan et les Nymphes. Ce livre traduit dans toutes les langues fut remis au goût du jour en France par le Régent Philippe d'Orléans et connut plusieurs belles éditions illustrées tout au long du XVIIIe siècle. La présente édition offre une traduction nouvelle par de Bure Saint-Fauxbin. Superbe exemplaire dont l'ensemble des gravures ont été gouachées à l'époque et rehaussées d'un double cadre peint en saumon et noir conservé dans sa première reliure en maroquin de l'époque. Ce précieux exemplaire a appartenu à Napoléon III comme en atteste son ex libris apposé au contreplat de la reliure. Charles-Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte troisième et dernier fils de Louis roi de Hollande et Hortense-Eugénie de Beauharnais et neveu de Napoléon Ier naquit à Paris au château des Tuileries le 20 avril 1808 et devint le 22 juillet 1832 à la mort du duc de Reichstadt le représentant direct de la dynastie napoléonienne ; d'abord fixé en Suisse où il fut nommé capitaine d'artillerie à Berne en 1824 il essaya en 1836 à Strasbourg de renverser Louis-Philippe dans un mouvement militaire ; arrêté et envoyé aux Etats-Unis il fit en août 1840 à Boulogne une seconde tentative qui échoua et qui lui valut l'emprisonnement perpétuel mais il réussit à s'enfuir du fort de Ham le 26 mai 1846 et à gagner la Belgique ; de retour en France lors de la révolution de 1848 il fut élu député en juin 1848 puis président de la république le 10 décembre de la même année. Le coup d'Etat du 2 décembre 1851 qu'il fit contre l'Assemblée législative lui donna la présidence pour dix ans ; enfin proclamé empereur à la suite d'un plébiscite des 21-22 novembre 1852 le 1er décembre 1852 Napoléon III épousa le 29 janvier 1853 Marie-Eugénie de Gusman comtesse de Téba seconde fille du comte de Montijo. Sous son règne la France jouit d'une grande prospérité industrielle et commerciale due en partie à nombre de mesures d'utilité publique prises par le gouvernement tandis qu'à l'extérieur une suite de guerres dont la fin de la conquête de l'Algérie nous donnait la Savoie le comté de Nice et la Cochinchine. A la suite de la défaite de Sedan où l'empereur avait été fait prisonnier la république fut proclamée à Paris le 4 septembre. Napoléon III mourut en exil à Chislehurst en Angleterre le 9 janvier 1873. Olivier Pl. 2659 15. hardcover
