Saint Pierre, Jacques Henri Bernardin de.

Paul et Virginie.

Paris Marcilly (c. 1835) 219pp. Printed by Didot Frères in microscopic Diamond 4 1/2 point type. Illustrated with six full-page engraved plates, a title page vignette, and a frontispiece portrait of the author. Gumuchian called this a "délicieuse édition." Bound in brown morocco by L. Averill Howland with floral onlays in green and red on the covers and spine, and circular onlays on the corners of the turn-ins. The endpapers of this luxuriously-bound book are red silk, and the book closes with two clasps. Housed in a book-shaped brown morocco clamshell box, which shows some slight rubbing to spine. Some very faint foxing is present and the peg for one of the clasps is missing; else a very rare miniature in beautiful condition. A.e.g. From the Henderson Collection. (Welsh 6110; Gumuchian 4137; Spielmann 444). (2 5/8 by 1 15/16; 66x49mm).
