CAZOTTE (Jacques): Ollivier, poem. By order of Mgr le Comte d'Artois. A Paris, De l'imprimerie de Didot l'Aîné, 1780, 2 vols. in-18, red morocco, spines with embossed fillets, title and tomaison stamped at the top of the spine, heraldic finial featuring a standing tower, fine embossed lace on the boards, gilt chain on the edges, interior lace, gilt edges. Contemporary binding. One of the most misunderstood titles, wrongly so, by the author of Le Diable amoureux. Cazotte was one of the most celebrated writers of the years leading up to the revolutionary turmoil. Faithful to his religious convictions and his belief in the monarchy, he was arrested in 1792, and guillotined shortly afterwards. A fine copy. PHOTOS TO COME WITHIN 3 DAYS
