Paris, chez E. A. Lequien, 1824. In-12, 505 pp. maroquin à long grain aubergine, frise et filets dorés et frise à froid en encadrement sur les plats, le chiffre L.P.O orné d'une couronne des enfants de France doré au centre du premier plat, les chiffres A.O., C.O., L.O et H.O dorés également couronnés dans les angles, armes de la maison d'Orléans dorées au centre du second plat, les mêmes chiffres qu'au premier plat dans les angles, dos à nerfs orné de caissons dorés, bordure intérieure ornée d'une frise dorée, tranches dorées (légère insolation, quelques petites épidermures, quelques petites taches ou rousseurs éparses). Nouvelle édition des Contes de Jean de La Fontaine. Elle est illustrée d'un portrait de l'auteur gravé par Bertonnier d'après une peinture de Rigault ainsi que de 72 planches hors texte ornées d'un encadrement de personnages et de nuages bleus, gravés par Simonet, Delignon, Pouquet, et d'autres d'après Desenne, Dugourc ou encore Chasselat. Ce bel exemplaire est établi dans une reliure de maroquin comportant plusieurs monogrammes dans les angles (A.O., C.O., L.O et H.O) et ceux de Louis-Philippe qui ne devient roi que 5 ans après la parution de ce livre. Il pourrait s'agir d'Antoine, Louis, Charles et Henri d'Orléans (futur duc d'Aumale), derniers fils de duc alors encore en enfance. De multiples monogrammes sur une même reliure sont plutôt rares en dehors des couples: on trouve l'exemple d'Henri II et de Diane de Poitiers mais il ne nous a pas été possible d'en trouver avec de la descendance ou une semblable à l'ouvrage présent. Exceptionnelle reliure aux armes et à plusieurs chiffres, ce qui est rare. Guigard, Armorial du bibliophile, 1870-1873, pp. 382.
