Théatre de L.B. Picard Nouvelle edition precedee d'une biographie de l'auteur par m. Edouard fournier ornee du portrait en pied colorie des principaux acteurs qui ont joue d'original
-
A lovely and unusual copy of this work of Picard's plays. In three quarter leather, and printed on heavy, fine laid paper, the work is embellished by a DOUBLE suite of the engraved portraits of actors. So in addition to the 19 hand coloured engraved plates that we see in some other copies, there are also 19 plates laid onto sheets in black and white, and facing the colour version. So a total of 38 engraved plates. Although the image is identical (bar the colouring) the additional plates do not have the engraved text on them, and so were presumably an additional suite. We cannot find another copy to compare with ours, and cannot find a limitation of this double plate edition. Three quarter deep red leather with raised bands and gilt titles and decoration to the spine. Marbled boards, but overall in very good state. The binding is very slightly weak to the front hinge, but still holding well. The paper seems to be of a higher quality than the regular edition of this work. Quite a few pages are uncut. There is a little foxing, including to the plates, but much less than is generally found. Overall, a lovely copy of a rare work. [xvi], 778 pages. 28.5cm x 20cm. Apart from the addition plates Conforms to WorldCat / OCLC: 457695666. BnF FRBNF31104106. .
