Le Camp et la Cour de D. Carlos. Narration historique des événemens survenus dans les provinces du nord depuis le moment où Maroto prit le commandement de l'armée carliste, en 1838, jusqu'à l'entrée de D. Carlos en France en 1839, avec des documens justificatifs et des notes illustratives ; précédée de la biographie de Maroto

Rare first edition of the French translation, illustrated with a facsimile plate.

According to the CCF, copies are held only at the BnF, Sainte-Geneviève, the Assemblée nationale and Bayonne.

Contemporary half brown sheep, smooth spine gilt with romantic arabesque tools, some rubbing and small losses to the joints and edges of the boards, marbled paper boards, endpapers of marbled paper, armorial bookplate pasted to a pastedown, speckled edges, contemporary binding.

Some light foxing.

The only French edition, very rare, of this account of the end of the First Carlist War (1833-1839), which concluded with the Convention of Ognate on 29 August 1839, between General Espartero (on the liberal side) and Rafael Maroto (on the Carlist side). Don Carlos ("Charles V") was then forced into exile in France.

Provenance: copy from the library of the Comte Freslon de La Freslonnière, with his armorial bookplate pasted to a pastedown, probably Gabriel-François (1784-1857), a graduate of the École Polytechnique, who took part in the Spanish campaigns under the Empire.
