Charles de Secondat MONTESQUIEU

Le temple de Gnide

Chez Le Mire, à Paris 1772, Grd. in 8 (16x24cm), (2) vij, 104pp., relié.


First Edition print of the famous eighteenth shown. The text was entirely engraved by Drouet. The illustration includes an engraved as a frontispiece (this one is "before the letter"). and new figures by Eisen, the whole engraved by Le Mire. Printing on top paper.
Full calf marbled contemporary sheepskin. Back with nerves decorated. Roulette tail and head. part of title in red morocco.
particular work of Montesquieu, Gnidus The temple is a poem of seven songs in prose pastoral. The book appeared with some flavor of scandal. This edition, the realization of the engraver Mire, was particularly neat, margins are large, elegant typography, the participation of excellent Eisen.
