MOLIÈRE, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, dit (1622-1673)
Oeuvres. Paris : Didot l’aîné, 1791-1794.

Exemplaire grand de marges, superbement relié à l'époque, de la bibliothèque Furstenberg. Les gravures d'après François Boucher, considérées comme son "chef d'oeuvre" sur le plan de l'illustration, avaient été publiées pour la première fois en 1734. Elles sont tirées sur un épais papier vergé. Cette édition a, d'après Brunet, été tirée à 250 exemplaires. Brunet, III, col.1799 ; Cohen-de Ricci, col. 712 (pour l’édition de 1734).

6 vol. grand in-4 (312 x 230 mm). Portrait de Molière d'après Coypel en frontispice du tome I (épreuve réenmargée et doublée), 26 planches hors-texte d'après François Boucher. Exemplaire enrichi d'un portrait de Boucher d'après Restout (245 x 190 mm), monté sur onglet en regard du frontispice (une trentaine de cahiers très brunis, rousseurs dans les six volumes, quelques déchirures marginales, papier des planches souvent plus roussi que celui du texte). Reliure de l’époque : maroquin rouge à long grain, riche décor d’encadrement losange-rectangle sur les plats, dos à nerfs doubles, listel de maroquin vert orné d’une frise de grecques sur les entrenerfs, caissons richement ornés aux petits fers, roulette torsadée sur les coupes, gardes de tabis bleu ciel, tranches dorées (quelques taches et accrocs aux plats, discrètes restaurations). Étuis individuels modernes.

Provenance : Hans Furstenberg (1890-1982 ; ex-libris).

Wide-margined copy, in superb contemporary red-morocco, of this edition comprising the celebrated illustrations after François Boucher. From the library of Hans Furstenberg.
