Brunet, III, col. 1049 ; Cohen-de Ricci, col. 235-237 (“les exemplaires sur papier vélin avec figures avant la lettre sont très rares ; ceux avec les eaux-fortes sont encore plus recherchés... Cet ouvrage est fort rare en maroquin ancien”).

Exemplaire enrichi d’une épreuve à l’eau-forte pure de l’une des planches, “Valmont interroge la servante” (rousseurs et piqûres dans les deux volumes, manquent le faux-titre du tome I et le dernier feuillet blanc du tome II).
Reliure anglaise du début du XIXe siècle : maroquin vert à long grain, double filet doré en encadrement des plats, dos à nerfs, caissons ornés, pièces de titre et de tomaison en maroquin bleu nuit, pointillés dorés sur les coupes, gardes de papier rose, tranches dorées (coiffes refaites, quelques frottements, usures aux mors).

Provenance : étiquette du libraire Reeve, à Leamington -- Thomas Curtis (ex-libris).

A fine copy, in an early-19th century British morocco binding, of this famous illustrated edition. First issue, with the 15 plates “before-the-letter", enriched with a second proof of one of them, in pure etching.
