ALMANACH ROYAL, year 1775. Paris, s.n., s.d.... - Lot 12 - Giquello
ALMANACH ROYAL, year 1775. Paris, s.n., s.d. [1775]. In-8, red morocco, large gilt frame on the boards, spine decorated with a fleur-de-lys decoration, interior roulette, lining and endpapers of blue tabis, gilt edges (period binding). Rich gilt plate by Dubuisson (Rahir, n°184-a). Gruel, in his Manuel de l'amateur de reliures, gives a reproduction of this plate with lace which he comments as follows: The composition of this extremely rich plate is the work of Dubuisson himself; for he was renowned not only as a bookbinder, but also as a talented draughtsman (t. II, pl. A, and p. 69). Small foxing at one joint, trace of restoration at two joints, upper hinge slightly cracked over the height of two boxes.
