About this Item
First edition. Text in Italian. Quarto. pp. iv, 280, [4]. With 7 engraved plates (frontispiece, title page, and five plates in text). Bound in contemporary mottled calf, gilt spine and turn-ins, white silk moiré endpapers, all edges gilt. An impressive armorial binding of King Louis Philippe I of France, with his crown and name in an ornate metal relief design affixed to the front board. Professionally re-jointed with the original binding fully preserved, modest chipping to the edges of the front free endpaper and fly leaf, scattered foxing, very good. The *Strenna Italiana* was a popular literary gift annual of Italian poetry and prose: this copy was likely given by Louis Philippe as a gift to an important political ally, personal friend, or dignitary. A scarce, unique copy intended to display Louis Philippe's armorial binding conspicuously on a tabletop. Seller Inventory # 339910
