Lot Description

[FINE BINDINGS] LONGUS les amours pastorales de daphnis et de chloe...

Paris: Lamy, 1787. Large 4to, leaf size 320 x 240 mm. Illustrated with 29 plates. Late 19th century binding of full green crushed morocco, elaborately gilt; full scarlet morocco doublures; gold moiré silk endleaves; all edges gilt; by Jules Meyer. Corners and edges lightly scuffed, covers occasionally scuffed, raised bands scuffed; scattered very light foxing to text leaves, a few plates a little toned. Previous owner's inscription on first free leaf now largely rubbed out. Ex-library with book-plate on verso of front free endleaf and call number in pencil on same and on title-page. Still a lovely copy despite these faults.
