About This Item

Paris: Didot Jeune, chez Deterville, 1799. Nouvelle Edition. 12 volumes, 12mos, various paginations. Text in French. Complete with 100 hand colored plates throughout the set, most after Jean-Marie Mixelle. Contemporary mottled calf, ornately gilt spines with black morocco labels, marbled endpapers, g.e. Contemporary ownership signatures at front in each, embossed stamp from Westport Public Library to titles. Light chipping to a few spines, some wear at joints and hinges, but all sound and very good.

Beautiful 18th century set of this "Mythology for everyone" which as stated in the subtitle, was designed for use and reference by students. Mythologie was first published in 1793 and issued with uncolored, colored, or both groups of plates. This set with wonderful, brightly colored engravings in each volume. Scarce in this condition.
