XXIV, 653, (2) pp., 1 blank. -- Leather binding mit gold embossing and gold trim, spine with title panel. Interior covers with decorative blue endpaper. -- Front and back cover with the coat of arms of Marie Joséphine of Savoy (1753-1810). -- Very rare armorial binding of a well-known figure of French royalty. || Marie-Joséphine de Savoie was princess of France, and through her marriage to the future king Louis XVIII (Louis Stanislas Xavier, 1755-1824) also a countess of Provence. One notable fact about Marie Joséphine of Savoy is that, despite her position as the wife of Louis XVIII, she never became Queen of France - even though she was regarded as such by Bourbon royalist Legitimists. This is because she passed away in 1810, 4 years before her husband ascended the throne as Louis XVIII in 1814, following the fall of Napoleon and the Bourbon Restoration. Her life was marked by personal and political difficulties. She lived through the tumultuous period of the French Revolution, went into exile with her husband, and spent much of her later life in relative obscurity, moving between different European courts. Marie Joséphine was also known for her frail health and devout Catholic faith, and she reportedly led a somewhat melancholic and reclusive life during her exile. Her marriage to Louis XVIII was famously unhappy, and she was overshadowed by the events of the revolution and the Napoleonic era. Despite this, her connection to both the House of Savoy and the Bourbon dynasty placed her at the center of some of the most important political changes of her time. -- Binding slightly rubbed, otherwise in very good condition. // Wir, das Antiquariat Steffen Völkel, kaufen und verkaufen alte Bücher, Handschriften, Zeichnungen, Autographen, Grafiken und Fotografien.

Piere-Paul had become Binder to the King in 1758. The recipient of this book was the archbishop of Auch, the bibliophile Claude Marc Antoine d'Apchon (1721-1783).

A beautiful copy of the Easter liturgy for the year 1755, printed and finely bound in Paris for the House of Orléans. The covers bear the arms of Louis-Philippe I (1725-1785), Duke of Orléans, Valois, and Montpensie, premier prince du sang, and grandfather of Louis-Philippe I, the last king of France. Editions of the Easter liturgy were produced every year and printed by d'Houry, the official printer to the duke of Orléans. Copies in fine bindings such as this, bearing the arms of the current duke, were destined for members of the family and court and to faithful subjects. The binding was very likely made by Jean-Charles-Henri LeMonnier le jeune, who is documented as bookbinder to the duke of Orléans from 1759. The LeMonniers were one of the most famous families of bookbinders of the period. Henry le jeune, son of Jean-Charles senior, "lived with his father in the Rue Saint-Jean-de-Beauvais, probably sharing his atelier and his tools, and it is difficult to distinguish their work. The bindings for the duke of Orléans and his family are most probably the work of le jeune" (Foot, p. 199). Mirjam M. Foot, The Henry Davis Gift I, 1978.
