Descripción

Rip on front cover, still all in one piece. Volume 1 of 3. Includes frontispiece featuring Marmontel, title page illustration, and 9 more full-page engravings by Hubert-Francois-Bourguignon, better known as Gravelot. Gordon N. Ray writes: Though one must read Marmontel to appreciate the psychological finesse of Gravelot s designs, the plates themselves are the important thing, not their interpretation of Marmontel s stories. Moreover, the larger scale of his illustrations allows him to display the elegance and urbanity of his idealized vision of society more fully than anywhere else in his work. Stories include Acibiade , Soliman II , Le Scruple , Les Quatre Flacons , Lausus et Lydie , Le Marisylphie , Heureusement , Les Deux Infortunees , and Tout ou Rien . 345 pp. N° de ref. del artículo LIT-MOR01
