4to. 72p, Illustrated with 13 full-page engraved plates after Fragonard, Colin, Chasselat, Pecheux, Martinet, Desenne, and Lordon . Bound by Joseph Thouvenin (not signed, but in his style and with his tools). Binding of full scarlet straight-grained morocco, sides and spine elaborately gilt, the spine in six uneven compartments heavily gilt including built-up pointelle areas, the upper cover with a series on ornamental frames in gilt and blind with a central window design in blind, the lower covers with elaborate gilt cornerpieces and ornamental ruled frames, the center section with a window and palmette cornerpieces inlaid in citron, red, green, black, dentelles, marbled endpapers, a.e.g. Berry, Charles-Ferdinand de Bourbon, duc de, 1778-1820. "[Joseph] Thouvenin (1790-1834) was the outstanding binder of the French Restoration period. His fame was so universal that both Blazac and Stendhal mentioned him in their novels; it persists to the present day. Among his clientele he also counted English and Russian collectors. Although he did not invent the style 'a la cathedrale', as is often claimed on his behalf (the London binder Whitaker was its originator), he brought it to perfection, and became its principal practitioner in France." (Breslauer. Historic & Artistic Bookibindings from the Bibliotheca Bibliographia Breslaueriana. p. 66, entry 27). See also Miner. The History of Bookbinding 525 -1950 A.D., no. 584). Binding has very slight edge wear, contents with foxing concentrated around the plates.…

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
