CHAPELAIN: La Pucelle or France Delivered.... - Lot 31 - Vermot et Associés
CHAPELAIN: La Pucelle or France Delivered. Heroic poem. A. Courbé, 1656. In-folio contemporary marbled calf, spine ribbed and decorated, roulette on the boards (head cover and corners worn, cuts on the first board, spidering on the second, paper more or less browned and light russeting. ). First edition of this famous poem on Joan of Arc. Chapelain's text is somewhat forgotten today and was parodied by Voltaire in the following century. But this volume is remarkable for its illustration, the work of two very talented artists, the painter Claude Vignon and the engraver Abraham Bosse: a frontispiece and 12 beautiful full-page engravings. There is also 1 portrait by Robert de Nanteuil (out of 2) and many headers and footers.
