About This Item
Paris: Saintin, 1816. Paperback. Paris, Saintin, 1816 (new enlarged edition)/ 1812. Sextodecimo, 78 pages plus 24 pages of illustrations (principally examples of handwriting) and a hand-coloured pictorial frontispiece. Uncut in the original wrappers mounted on earlier recycled printed matter (with the spine expertly renewed); edges of the wrappers and leaves a little chipped with some corners rounded off or a trifle dog-eared; overall a most agreeable copy. Examples of the handwriting of Elizabeth I, Mary Stuart, Louis XIV, Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, Rousseau and Voltaire, among others, are given. The first two plates contain a relatively early French example of the complete manual alphabet for the deaf.
