About This Item

Paris: A la Tradition, 1947. A lovely edition of Descartes Discourse on Method. First thus. From an edition of only 400 (there were also 20 reserved copies for collaborators). This copy is printed on vélin d'Arches. 26 original copper engravings by CP Josso, including frontispiece, engraved title, 6 full page engravings, 12 vignettes and 6 end pieces (One for each of the six parts that the work is divided into). Pale green slipcase, with a matching pale green folder within. This has a paper label to the spine. (this is a little darkened). Inside this is a soft cover with title printed to the front. The text and illustration are in sheets (as published) in 16 un-stiched gathers. Half title, limitation (Justification du tirage). All in excellent condition, with just a touch of ghosting from some of the engravings. Probably the nicest copy you could find. Belle édition du Discours de la méthode de Descartes. D'abord donc. D'une édition de seulement 400 (il y avait également 20 exemplaires réservés pour les collaborateurs). Cet exemplaire est imprimé sur vélin d'Arches. 26 gravures originales sur cuivre de CP Josso, dont un frontispice, un titre gravé, 6 gravures à pleine page, 12 vignettes et 6 pièces de fin (une pour chacune des six parties qui composent l'ouvrage). Étui vert pâle, avec un dossier vert pâle assorti à l'intérieur. Cela a une étiquette en papier à la colonne vertébrale. (c'est un peu noirci). À l'intérieur se trouve une couverture souple avec un titre imprimé sur le devant. Le texte et l'illustration sont en feuilles (telles que publiées) en 16 fronces non cousues. Faux-titre, limitation (Justification du tirage). Le tout en excellent état, avec juste une touche d'image fantôme de certaines gravures. Probablement la plus belle copie que vous puissiez trouver.
