REYBAUD (LOUIS).
Jérôme Paturot in search of a social position. Edition illustrated by J.-J. Grandville. Paris, Dubochet, Le Chevalier et Cie, 1846. (with) Jérôme Paturot in search of the best of republics. Edition illustrated by Tony Johannot. Paris, Michel Lévy frères, 1849. Two works in two large volumes in-8, publisher's bindings in full chagrin, red for the first, midnight blue for the second, spine and boards decorated with gilt plates with special irons inspired by the illustration of the works, the second signed by Harhaus, in frames of gilt fillets (first volume) and a cold garland (second volume), inner scroll on the second volume, white moire endpapers, gilt edges (binding of the second volume signed by Kaufmann). First editions. The first volume is illustrated with 32 out-of-text compositions, including a frontispiece, and numerous in-text woodcut vignettes after Grandville. The second volume comprises 30 out-of-text compositions and about 160 woodcut vignettes in the text after Tony Johannot. The out-of-text illustrations of both volumes are here protected by silk paper covers, pink for the first, white for the second. Although the title vignette of the second volume represents here three characters (indicating a reprint according to Brivois and Carteret), the copy belongs to the first edition, of which it presents all the other characteristics (same condition, for example, as the copy of the first edition Meeûs-Roudinesco - sale Roudinesco, I, 1967, n° 112 - otherwise in identical condition to this one) Exceptional reunion of these two works impeccably preserved in the publisher's full chagrin of all freshness. Attached, flying, a drawing in brown ink, executed on strong paper mounted on a sheet of fine paper bearing the caption, "the nightmare" and the signature T. Johannot. From the library of Hyppolite de Montcalm with bookplate on the first volume.
