Item description from seller

12mo, pp. 153, [3] blank; typographic head-pieces and initials; contemporary blue sugar-paper over thin wooden boards, corners bumped, else very clean and crisp; with contemporary ownership inscription of Monsieur Grenier to title page, and 20th century book label to front free endpaper. Vienna reprint of a popular anonymous publication (first 1764) satirising contemporary French social life and aesthetics, with a mixture of libertine comment, moral advice, and gentle fun. This 'papillotage', aims to have the reader's attention oscillate between illusion and awareness. The anonymous author pokes fun at the shallowness of French society, and its dedication to fashion or extravagant gardens, and gives a travel account of visiting northern Italy. Gay III 623, A. Martin 67.R2; see Conlon 65: 368.
