Xavier de Maistre - Voyage autour de ma chambre. Librarie des Bibliophiles, 1877

Librarie des Bibliophiles, 1877

Copy of an edition on Dutch paper of 210 numbered copies. Xavier de Maistre, volunteer in the Sardinian Navy regiment, passionate about ballooning, writes this natural and charming confession during a 40-day military order imposed following a duel. He speaks of it thus: a whole world of feelings, emotions and memories which Uncle Tobie's dada can paw at in all fantasy. Edouard HEDOUIN's etchings of great finesse adorn this author's portrait. Bookplate by J. Wagrez. Untrimmed copy. Spine slightly faded, tiny stains.
