MUSSET, Alfred de (1810-1857)
Un spectacle dans un fauteuil. Prose. Paris : Revue des deux mondes et Londres : Baillière, 1834.
Édition originale.
Cette seconde livraison du Spectacle dans un fauteuil contient les premières pièces de théâtre d'Alfred de Musset : Lorenzaccio, Caprices de Marianne, André del Sarto, Fantasio, On ne badine pas avec l'amour, La Nuit vénitienne, et Fragment du livre XV des Chroniques florentines. Carteret, II, p. 190 ; Clouzot, p. 215.

Exemplaire avec envoi autographe signé de Musset : "à Alfred Tattet, amitié fraternelle".
« Alfred Tattet […] était un aimable viveur, gai convive, sérieux à ses heures, exagéré dans son langage, trouvant toutes choses ravissantes ou exécrables, mais encore plus avide des plaisirs de l’esprit que des autres plaisirs, et toujours prêt à s’exalter pour un beau vers. » (Charpentier, Biographie de Alfred de Musset, 1888)

Tattet tenait un salon littéraire fréquenté par Hugo, Vigny, Sand et bien sûr le plus fidèle d’entre eux, Alfred de Musset.
Les deux hommes furent davantage que des amis : leur relation presque fraternelle s’illustra au travers d’une abondante correspondance et s’afficha à de multiples reprises dans l’œuvre de Musset qui lui dédia deux poèmes.

2 tomes en 1 vol. in-8 (209 x 123 mm). Reliure signée Chambolle-Duru : maroquin rouge, triple encadrement de filets dorés, chiffre cournné LPHAG en écoinçons, dos à nerfs richement orné, dentelle intérieure dorée, tranches dorées sur marbrure. Étui.
Provenance : Alfred Tattet (1809-1856 ; envoi) ; chiffre doré LPHAG sur les plats ; monogramme GL.
