First edition

Victor HUGO Notre-Dame de Paris

Victor HUGO

Notre-Dame de Paris

Charles Gosselin, Paris 1831, 13x21cm , 2 volumes in-8 reliés.



HUGO Victor. Notre-Dame de Paris [The Hunchback of Notre-Dame]
Charles Gosselin, Paris 1831, 13 x 21 cm, 2 volumes, contemporary half calf
First edition of 1,100 copies divided into four tranches, the final three bearing, on the titles, the name of the author and a false edition statement (cf Clouzot), this copy with a mention of the “fourth edition”.
Strictly contemporary half red calf (unsigned, but closely resembling the work of Thouvenin), spine in five compartments heightened with gilt roulettes and framed by double gilt fillets, with Romantic blindtools between raised bands and large gilt roulettes to head and foot, marbled endpapers and pastedowns, all edges jaspé.
Title pages with two woodcut vignettes by Tony Johannot.
Foxed, as is often the case.
A handsome copy in a quality contemporary binding, which is rare.
“This first edition, in good condition, is the rarest of all the author’s works; it has had a global impact and is one of the most difficult to find from the Romantic period” (Carteret).
