c1900 Mam'zelle Vertu & Les Deux Maîtresses French Illustrated Antique Book

Mam'zelle Vertu & Les Deux Maîtresses & Conte de Noel
By Henri Lavedan & Alfred de Musset & Charles Dickens
Published by Ernest Flammarion, Paris / L'Édition Moderne - Librairie Ambert c1900 (undated)
Three Books Bound As One

"An attractive French illustrated volume containing two complete literary works bound together: Mam'zelle Vertu by Henri Lavedan (illustrated by Jordic, published by Ernest Flammarion, Paris) and Les Deux Maîtresses by Alfred de Musset (illustrated by Lubin de Beauvais, published by L'Édition Moderne - Librairie Ambert, Paris). Both novels exemplify the elegance and wit of late 19th-century French romantic and social literature, presented here in a handsome custom binding typical of private European libraries of the Belle Époque period.

The book features half-leather binding with marbled paper boards, raised bands with gilt decoration and titles to spine, and marbled endpapers. Richly illustrated throughout with fine engravings and line drawings in-text, including numerous charming vignettes. A wonderful pairing of two prominent authors—Lavedan, a dramatist of the Académie Française, and Musset, one of France's great Romantic poets and storytellers."

General wear to covers and spine. Pages very clean and well presented with a pleasant aged patina throughout. There are no inscriptions. Beautifully bound with leather and marble, this is a desirable copy. Very good condition overall. Please study photos to further understand condition.
