Description: Please ask questions BEFORE buying, as I have only a smattering of French and this is only in French. Regarding publication date of this obvious collector edition, George Barrie et Fils (and sons) seems to be the original publisher for this book published in 1839 when marbled endpapers such as this were most common. This publisher was publishing up to at least 1897. There are no dates other than the dedication, hence my circa date. This is quite possibly a collector's first edition, but I make no promises and must stop researching now. La Comedie HumaineScenes de la Vie PriveeBEATRIX Honore de BalzacIllustrated by artist and sculptor Adrien MoreauCirca 1836-1880 George Barrie et Fils This would be a handsome edition on any collector's shelf. Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie humaine, which presents a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus. Adrien Moreau was a French sculptor, painter and illustrator who illustrated other Balzac novels as well as Voltaire, Victor Hugo, and Alphonse Daudet. I SHIP DAILY. I care.
