[CHAUVET, Jules-Adolphe (1828-c.1906).] A complete suite of his engravings for Les Mémoires de J. Casanova de Seingalt. N.p.: n.p. [Barraud], n.d. [c.1875.]
102 engravings by Barraud after Chauvet printed on laid paper (180 x 121mm), mounted on stubs and bound. (Occasional light marginal soiling.) Later red half shagreen with spot marbled sides, the spine with raised bands and lettered directly in gilt, top edge gilt, marbled endpapers (extremities lightly rubbed). Provenance: Gérard Nordmann (label; his sale, Christie’s Paris, 14-15 December 2006, lot 128).
The rare first edition of Chauvet’s explicit illustrations for Casanova; the Nordmann copy. The same engravings were re-used later to illustrate the 50 deluxe copies of Arthur Machen’s translation of Casanova (London: Smithers, 1894). Some, including Lehec and Carrington, attribute this work to Sellier. Galitzin 293 (‘very rare’); cf. Pia 889 (a later reprint by Perceau).
