Early nineteenth century American signed binding. VOLUME III ONLY of a five volume set. i-viii, 1-350 pages. Hardcover: H 18.75cm x L 12cm. Mid-nineteenth century half leather binding; spine leather darkened but decorated with five raised bands delineating six compartments; spine's dark brown title label and green volume# label retain bright gilt lettering; shallow wear/scuffing at spine ends; marbled paper over boards with scuffed leather corners. All edges marbled. Marbled endpapers; large mid-20th century geometric personal bookplate of Little Rock, Arkansas collector Warren Baldwin on front pastedown with early 19th century small circular purple ticket "Bound by Akerman, Providence." discreetly affixed at top left (likely Providence, Rhode Island bookbinder and bookseller Charles Akerman, 1812-1879; ticket's style and type is very much in the style of early 1800s British binders; binding itself reflects work typically seen in Edinburgh and London shops rather then contemporary American efforts so perhaps there is some possibility that the Akerman ticket should be in his role as a bookseller than bookbinder; Brown University's archival collections indicates that Akerman took on an apprentice in 1854 so obviously he was already well established but clearly was too young to be binding books in 1822 when this specific volume was published). Warren Baldwin ink stamp dated "190-" at top of page 1; a few pencil markings amongst text with some foxing and scattered small stains. Binding is firm.…

Cloth. Condition: Very Good. A smart three volume set of this translation of the adventures of Gargantua and Pantagruel from French writer Francois Rabelais. Three volumes. Volume one is illustrated with a frontispiece and four plates. Volume two is illustrated with five plates. Volume three is illustrated with four plates. Collated complete. Five books on the adventures of Gargantua and his son Pantagruel. Although most chapters are humorous, wildly fantastic and frequently absurd, a few relatively serious passages have become famous for expressing humanistic ideals of the time. Written by Francois Rabelais, a French writer who has been called the first great French prose author. In his day he was best known as a physician, scholar, diplomat, and Catholic priest, later he became better known as a satirist for his depictions of the grotesque, and for his larger-than-life characters. Translated by Sir Thomas Urquhart, a Scottish aristocrat, writer, and translator, and Peter Anthony Motteux, a French-born English author, playwright, and translator. Illustrated by Louis Chalon, a French painter, sculptor, illustrator, and goldsmith. In the original brown cloth binding.
