About This Item
Paris: Didot l'Ainé, 1792. Hardcover. Good +. 2 volumes of 3: vol. 1: xvi, 236 p.; vol. 3: 240 p.; 13 cm. Half polished black calf with marbled paper over boards. Red leather gilt-tooled spine labels; gilt-tooled spine ornamentation. All page edges speckled red. Terra cotta endpapers. Front fixed endpapers bear engraved armorial book plate of George Paget with the Paget family motto "Per il suo Contrario." This was presumably Lord George Augustus Frederick Paget (1818-1880), who served in the Crimean War as a senior officer of the Light Cavalry brigade under Lord Cardigan and was present at the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade; he was later made Inspector General of Cavalry. In Good+ Condition: edges and boards are somewhat rubbed; leather corners are scraped, with most of leather lacking from upper corners of vol. 1; part of leather spine label lacking from vol. 3; pages are clean and tight. An attractive if incomplete set of this romantic retelling of Gonzalo Fernandez de Cordoba (1453-1515) and the conquest of Granada by French writer Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian (1755-1794).
