Description
The volume, representative of the series of historical monographs published by Goupil at the beginning of the 20th century, is illustrated by 60 b/w, sepia and color engravings (4 as headings of the individual chapters, 56 on plates ft. on strong paper protected from talking tissue) and a color portrait of Louis XV as a child on the frontispiece. At the Colophon: Il a été tiré de ce livre Cinq cents exemplaires Sur papier à la main des Manufactures de Rives Exemplaire n. 019. Our copy is further embellished by an illustrious provenance: as evidenced by the beautiful Ex Libris of Prince Constantin Radziwill and the noble coat of arms on the spine, it comes in fact from the library of the Chateau d'Ermenonville
