About This Item
1878 EXQUISITE Fine Binding 1ed Saint Louis Renaissance France ART Illustrated
Henri Wallon's 'Saint Louis' is one of the most thorough biographical sketches on Louis IX of France. Wallon, however, writes on more than just the life of Louis IX. He describes French architecture, numismatics, politics, military, war, along with dozens of other topics. Other topics include Louis's interest in science and poetry, attempts at gothic art, music, and sculpture, Catholic devotion, and 13th-century French society.
This beautiful first edition of Wallon's 'Saint Louis' features an impressive collection of artworks from various artists including Paquier, Toussaint, Garcia, Hurel, Meaulle, and Soupey; nine of which are chromolithographs.
