VIGÉE, L.-J.-B. Ninon de Lenclos, comedy in one act, in vers - Lot 202
VIGÉE, L.-J.-B. Ninon de Lenclos, comedy in one act, in verse, followed by Poésies fugitives. Paris, Everat, 1797. In-8, (7)-213 pp. with table and (1) pp. contemporary fawn calf, smooth spine decorated (binding slightly rubbed). Only 2 entries in CCFr. A handwritten note by the bookbinder in pencil at the beginning of the work suggests that this was the author's own copy, or a gift from the author. False title: "OEuvres diverses de L. J. B. E. Vigée". An original poem on the acacia. Louis-Jean-Baptiste-Etienne Vigée (1758-1820), brother of painter Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun and son of pastellist Louis Vigée, man of letters and playwright from the end of the Ancien Régime to the Restoration, was a protégé of aristocratic circles close to Calonne and the Countess of Provence. Director of the Almanach des Muses from 1789, he lived through the Revolution, adapting his political positions until the Empire and the Retour des Lys. However, he ended his life in disgrace, discredited by his political opportunism.
