[CURIOSA] Abbé de FAVRE
Les Quatre heures de la toilette des dames, poëme érotique en quatre chants. Paris : Jean-François Bastien, 1779.
Exemplaire sur papier fort de l'édition originale, joliment illustrée. Les deux derniers culs-de-lampe passent pour représenter la princesse de Lamballe, dédicataire de l'édition, amie et surintendante de la maison de Marie-Antoinette. Non sans malice, les bibliographes se plaisent à souligner le caractère prémonitoire du dernier, où la tête de la princesse, flottant dans le ciel, annonce son destin tragique, au bout d'une pique, lors des Massacres de septembre 1792. Cohen-de Ricci, col. 376-377 ; Gay-Lemonnyer, t. III, col. 903.

In-8 (237 x 158 mm). Édition originale, exemplaire sur papier fort. 4 gravures à pleine page, titre-frontispice, bandeau gravé aux armes de la princesse de Lamballe, dédicataire de l’édition, et 4 culs-de-lampe d’après Le Clerc (rousseurs et piqûres éparses, comme toujours avec cette édition). Reliure signée de Zaehnsdorf : maroquin rouge, dentelle dorée en encadrement des plats dans le goût des reliures du XVIIIe siècle, dos à nerfs et caissons ornés, doublures et gardes de soie verte, tranches dorées. Étui.
Provenance : sur le contreplat, étiquette du libraire londonien Myers & Co.

First edition, this copy on thick paper, in a red morocco binding by Zaehnsdorf. The edition is dedicated to the Princesse de Lamballe, the confidante of Queen Marie-Antoinette.
