ROYAL ALMANACH for the year 1766. - Lot 70
ROYAL ALMANACH for the year 1766. Paris, Le Breton, 1766. In-8. Contemporary lemon morocco, ornate ribbed spine, gilt title and year, gilt fleur-de-lys caissons, boards decorated with a large gilt Dubuisson-style plaque with framing garland of interlacing, gilt roulette at edges, gilt edges, gilt and embossed dominoté paper endpapers (some rubbing at spine and edges, small tear at tail cap, some browning). Beautiful and rare almanac binding in lemon morocco, decorated with plaque. The binding has faded a little, the gilding is less warm and the color of the leather has faded, but the object remains charming. Interleaved calendar for each month.
