-
First edition. A lovely set of the complete run of "Les Tonsurés." This was a collection of four serialised, anti-clerical sensational works. They were issued in 200 parts, each of 8 pages. Originally, each was issued in a soft cover. These have been bound together into a three volume set of red leather quarter binding, with matching marbled boards. Titles, decoration and volume in gilt to the spine. Overall the bindings are in very good, clean condition with a little rubbing. Volume one has had a chip to the top of the spine, which has been restored / glued back in place. The set is still attractive. Internally clean and tidy, the pages are a little darkened only. Scarce in it's entirety (or even in the parts), few kept these disposable weekly issues. splendidly illustrated in equally sensational form by Édouard Yrondy. The first installment carries the imprint "Bibliothèque Parisienne, 48 rue de Lancry, Paris," with subsequent installments marked "Ferenczy éditeur." None of the installments are dated, but the "Bibliothèque Parisienne" imprint points to late 1907 or 1908. 1600 pages across three volumes. 330 by 240mm (13 by 9œ inches). Arthur Bernède (18711937) was a prolific French popular novelist, playwright, and librettist, later famous as the creator of Judex and Belphégor, and a longtime collaborator of illustrator/serial-film figures in the Société des Cinéromans. Before that fame, in the mid-1900s, he wrote a string of anticlerical potboilers for cheap serialized "livraison" publishers pamphlet-format fiction sold in installments and later bound into volumes. No copies for sale at the time of cataloguing. Only one set available in librari. In the BnF ref: FRBNF37680155 .
