STAËL-HOLSTEIN, Anne-Louise Germaine Necker, baronne de (1766-1817)
Oeuvres complètes, publiées par son fils ; précédées d’une notice sur le caractère et les écrits de Mme de Staël, par Madame Necker de Saussure. Paris : Treuttel et Würtz, 1820-1821.

Exemplaire en maroquin rouge de Purgold, aux armes du comte de Coventry.
Il s’agit de la première édition collective, en partie originale, des œuvres de Madame de Staël. Tous les volumes n’ont pas été lus – nombre de feuillets sont encore solidaires suite à la dorure des tranches. Certains l’ont cependant été attentivement, par un lecteur anglophone – qui a laissé quelques annotations au crayon dans l’exemplaire (voir par exemple page 175 du tome XI). Brunet, V, col. 505 ; Vicaire, V, col. 655-656.

17 volumes in-8 (203 x 126 mm). Portrait de l’autrice gravé par Müller en frontispice du tome I. (Rousseurs et piqûres, quelques infimes déchirures marginales). Reliure de l’époque par Purgold (signée en pied du dos du tome I : “REL. P. PURGOLD”) : maroquin rouge à long grain, armes dorées du comte de Coventry au centre des plats, riche encadrement doré et à droid, dos à nerfs, caissons ornés, coupes filetées or, doublure et gardes de moire bleu ciel avec encadrement doré, tranches dorées (dos légèrement insolés, quelques griffures aux plats).

Provenance : Earl of Coventry (reliure aux armes) -- Dominique de Villepin (sa vente, Paris, 19 mars 2008, lot n°333).

An attractive set in contemporary morocco stamped with the gilt arms of the Earl of Coventry. This is the first collective edition of Madame de Staël's works, with several parts published for the very first time.
