Descripción

A scarce and important auction catalogue. The Comte de la Bedoyere (1782-1861) was one of the most remarkable bibliophiles of 19th century France. By the age of 54 he had accumulated one of the great private collections in France, which he sold at auction in 1837. He couldn't bear to part with all of his books, so he bought many of them at his own auction (a practice authorities now frown upon), and had most of those rebound or otherwise "improved". During the ensuing years he also purchased about 2000 other important books. This "second" library was sold in 1862, a year after he had died. 2846 lots. 4to. attractively bound in somewhat later quarter morocco and cloth, original wraps bound in. Minimal, superficial wear to joints, internally bright and fine. Odell 1939, with a long citation, taken from the introduction to the catalogue, about La Bedoyere's painstaking manner of collecting, designed to guarantee that he had the best possible copy of a book.
