Shakespeare, William (Translated Francois Victor Hugo); Oeuvres Completes De W. Shakespeare: Paris: Pagnerre. 1865 – 1873. All 18 volumes. Very attractive copies in quarter leather with marbled boards. Some volumes are designated second (deuxieme) edition some have no designated edition, however, they are a matching set. 8.5in x 55.5in, 5 raised bands to spine with red leather title plates and green leather volume plates (plates are missing on 5 volumes, easy to replace) with gilt decoration in other compartments. There are some scuffs and rubs to leather also very slight rubbing to some spine heads and tails, some of the marbled boards have shelf rubbing and minor chips and scuffs. Corners are rubbed, some very slightly others more heavily. Marbled endpapers, all edges marbled. Pencil notes on some feps. All volumes are tight with scattered foxing to text. A edition of Shakespeare translated by Victor Hugo with all 18 volumes is very hard to find, and this set looks superb.

Jeanne d’Arc : Monvel, M. Boutet de: Paris, Plon-Nourrit 1896. Oblong format hardcover, maroon cloth with gilt and lime green decoration and gilt title. 9.5 (tall) x 12.75 inches (24.5 x 32.5cm). 48pp, superb colour illustrations by the author on every page. Text in French. Printed on heavy glossy paper. It is said this is the book that started the series of beautiful illustrated children’s books that were published in France over the following decade. Book binding is becoming loose, covers have bumps and rubs to corners, spine ends and edges. All pages are present and none are detached, and they are in nice clean, bright condition, but the signatures (page gathers) are pulling at the gutters and opening in places and loose in their stitching. Will not take rough treatment. Still a beautiful children’s book.
