[Napoleonic Era Signed Portraits] First Empire. An album of 102 engraved portraits of prominent mostly French men and women from the First Empire through Charles X, of which 91 are signed by the subjects under their lithographed likenesses. A hard-bound book, now rebound in maroon cloth, and now housed in a matching box, 11 ¾ in x 8 ¼ in. The original covers were detached. The book was originally bound in pebble-grained maroon paper boards with an eighth morocco back-strip, now perished. The original boards are preserved in the custom-made box. The original front cover still has the bookplate of Charles A. Welch, decorated with a horned animal device above a shield of six stars.

Collation is of 102 individual lithographed portraits sewn together. Traces of multiple penciled page annotations by previous owners are present in several of the lower right-hand corners of the recto, as printing and manuscript material occurs only on the recto, as is expected for a collection of lithographed portraits. All sheets have been trimmed by previous owners. Bracketed page numbers in pencil are those of the present owner, 102 pages are counted, starting with page 3, as the unorthodox previous binding is believed to have counted two initial blanks. Eleven portraits are unsigned. Seventeen sitters are unidentified.

Description:
Boston: Little, Brown & Co, 1938. First American edition. Hardcover. Very good -. 593 pp. Octavo. [21.5 cm]. Black semi-glossy paper over boards. Deckled edges. Publisher's red top stain. Corners bumped, pages toned and lightly foxed. Gilt title stamped to spine, which has sustained some slight water damage on the cloth near the head. Text block just beginning to crack at the rear tail. Céline's "Mort à crédit" or "Death on the Installment Plan" revitalized the traditionalist French genre by its blending of Gothic styles with the more modern technique of blurring the lines between character and author. It is the companion to "Journey to the End of the Night". In 1938, shortly after this book's release John Walcott backhandedly idolizes the book for its grotesque narcissism and apolitical theme. Céline's openness to disgust and candor fed into what we now call "dark humor
