CARÊME, Antonin: "Le maître-d'hôtel français, traité des menus à servir à Paris, à St-Pétersbourg, à Londres et à Vienne. Complete in 2 volumes" Paris et à Londres, éd. Renouard et autres librairies, 1842, new revised, corrected and enlarged edition (2nd edition), 2 vols. in-8, light brown half-chagrin, multicolored marbled paper boards, gilded fillets, author, title and tomaisons on burgundy morocco title-piece, period binding, XI - (1 bl) - 352 pp. + 282 pp., illus. with 2 frontispieces (cooks' costumes and title page with drawings by Carême), 32 fold-outs of menus and tables, for a total of 34 fold-outs, chapter tables, A Messieurs Robert Frères, notice sur M. le Marquis de Cussy, foreword, preliminary speech, menus, Ex-Libris by Robert Viel. Antonin Carême (1783 - 1833), one of the greatest chefs of the early 19th century, needs no introduction. We present here the two volumes of his 1842 "Maître-d'Hôtel français". This is the "new edition" as indicated on the title page, and not the "second" edition as on some copies; but the result is the same - it is the second edition! Very fine EX-LIBRIS by the great French chef of the 1930s (Paris, and Biaritz). The plates are in very good condition and complete. Very good condition of paper and plates, with a few very small scattered spots of foxing; the binding shows a few small scuffs, with very good professional restoration.
