FLAUBERT, Gustave (1821-1880)
L’Éducation sentimentale, histoire d’un jeune homme. Paris : Michel Lévy frères, 1870.
Remarquable exemplaire de l’édition originale, l’un des rares recensés sur Hollande, avec envoi autographe de Flaubert à Marie Durey.

Alors que de nombreux exemplaires sur vélin fort de Madame Bovary furent dédicacés et envoyés aux auteurs illustres, critiques littéraires et autres membres de l’entourage de Flaubert, les grands papiers avec envois de l’Éducation sentimentale sont d’une rareté proverbiale. Ce changement s’explique par la forte diminution des tirages sur Hollande par l’éditeur mais également par le décès de nombre des précédents dédicataires de l’auteur. Dans son recensement des exemplaires sur grand papier des romans de Gustave Flaubert, Auguste Lambiotte ne cite que 7 exemplaires de l’Éducation sentimentale sur papier de Hollande avec envoi et Flaubert, dans l’un de ces envois (à Monsieur Favart), fait état d’un total de 25 exemplaires tirés sur Hollande. Carteret fait également mention d’un tirage de 25 exemplaires sur papier de Hollande.

Cet exemplaire est enrichi d’un envoi de Flaubert à Marie Durey, sa « vieille et chère amie » qui fut notamment actrice de l’Odéon et de l’Ambigu-Comique. Elle est également connue comme la maîtresse de Louis Bouilhet, poète et ami intime de Flaubert.
L’exemplaire a, par la suite, intégré la bibliothèque du critique littéraire Albert Thibaudet (1874-1936), qui écrivit pour La Nouvelle Revue française.

Vicaire, III, 726-727 ; Carteret I, 268 ; « Le Livre et l’Estampe : Revue de la Société des Bibliophiles et Iconophiles de Belgique », n°13-14, 1958.

2 volumes in-8 (240 x 152 mm). Édition originale, l’un des rares exemplaires connus sur papier de Hollande, avec envoi autographe de Flaubert à sa « vieille et chère amie » Marie Durey, très grand de marges.

Provenance : envoi autographe à Marie Durey ; Albert Thibaudet (sa vente, Giraud-Badin 1937, n°223) ; Daniel Sicklès, (sa vente, 20 avril 1989, n°66)

Remarkable copy of the first edition, one of the few on Holland paper, inscribed to Marie Durey. Only 7 inscribed Holland copies are known.
