About This Item

Paris: Librairie Bachelin-Deflorenne, 1875. First Edition, with contemporary annotations showing prices achieved. A paper label shows that this copy was for Monsieur Pavet, and that he was to received a volume bound in half red leather and with papier Agathe (which this copy is). The majority of the catalogues were softback, so Monsieur Pavet must have been a valued customer. American citizen, the owner of this collection, Mr. Benzon, ran the house of Naylor, Benzon & Cie in London. He died two years before his library went on sale. Many of the books he purchased were from the Henry Bordes collection, who wrote catalogue entries for much of this sale (signified by his initials after the entry). The sale comprised 400 items, and against each, is the price achieved (in pencil) Red half calf with gilt titles. Brown marbled boards. A little rubbing and dulling to the spine and edges, with a touch of loss to the corners of the boards. Internally in very good condition, with a little darkening and a few scattered marks only. viii, 104. pp. 245 x 170 mm. Edition originale, avec des annotations contemporaines indiquant les prix atteints. Une étiquette en papier indique que cet exemplaire était pour Mme Pavet, et qu'il devait recevoir un volume relié en demi cuir rouge et avec du papier Agathe. (ce qui est en effet cette copie). La majorité des catalogues étaient brochés, donc Monsieur Pavet devait être un client apprécié. Citoyen américain, le propriétaire de cette collection, M. Benzon, dirigeait la maison Naylor, Benzon & Cie à Londres. Il mourut deux ans avant la mise en vente de sa bibliothèque. La plupart des livres qu'il a achetés provenaient de la collection Henry Bordes, qui a rédigé des entrées de catalogue pour une grande partie de cette vente (signifiées par ses initiales après l'entrée). La vente comprenait 400 articles, et contre chacun, est le prix atteint (au crayon) Demi-veau rouge avec titres dorés. Plats marbrés marron. Un peu de frottements et d'émoussements au dos et sur les tranches, avec une touche de manque aux coins des plats. Intérieur en très bon état, avec un peu de noircissement et quelques marques éparses seulement. viii, 104. p. 245 x 170 mm.
