Quentin-Bauchart, Ernest. – Les Femmes Bibliophiles de France (XVI, XVII & XVIII siècle).

The original edition, very rare. One of only 300 numbered copies on Hollande laid paper. A scholary work without equivalent. – One of the charms of this study is that it traces the evolution of French bookbinding in its most diverse forms. Written by Ernest Quentin-Bauchard (1830–1909)—a scholar, bibliographer, and bibliophile who became a member of the Société des Bibliophiles Français in 1887—this work takes us on a journey from the 16th to the 18th century through a wide variety of libraries. – Extensive description upo request.
