First edition

Honoré de BALZAC Petites misères de la vie conjugale

Honoré de BALZAC

Petites misères de la vie conjugale

Chez Chlendowski, S.l. [Paris] 1845 (S.d.), Grd. in 8 (16,5x25cm), 392pp., relié.


First and only edition of this wonderful romantic illustrated book. It is profusely illustrated with woodcuts after Bertall, 50 hors-texte, including the frontispiece, and 310 vignettes.
Modern cloth boards inspired by romantic bindings, signed at the top of the title page by A. Lavaux. Romantic-style gilt spine. Title label in orange shagreen. Top edge gilt. Very rare illustrated covers and the spine preserved, restored to the corners, spine with missing parts has been strenghtened. Spine slightly lightened. One leaf at the beginning and one at the end (half-title page and p. 332) have a slight restoration to the spine in the margin. Perfectly white, immaculate paper. Uncut copy, with all margins. Superb copy, very rare in this condition.
"Book illustrated with spirit by Bertall, whose compositions wonderfully complement a text full of humor. There was only one edition which is very rare." (Carteret III, 48). Balzac would be sketched three times in this work which received the wrath of the female readership for its mysogyny.
