Guy de Maupassant, Notre coeur. - Lot 368
Guy de Maupassant, Notre coeur.
Paris, Paul Ollendorff, 1890. In-12, [4]-300p.
First edition on current paper of Maupassant's last novel. It was published in June 1890, following publication in the Revue des Deux-Mondes on May 15, June 1 and June 15.
Binding signed Jadis (on the slipcase), full bottle-green morocco with foliage decoration, ribbed spine, gilt head, covers and spine preserved, untrimmed, a few freckles, slipcase lined. This is not a mosaic binding, but a decorated binding. The motifs are painted, as if lacquered, with ironwork to delimit each part. Scattered foxing, 3 leaves with gaps filled in the margins.
An astonishingly fine copy of one of Maupassant's great novels (Talvart & Place, XIII, 260).
