Description
THE PUBLISHER'S GALLEY PROOFS OF THE FIRST EDITION OF THIS POSTHUMOUS COLLECTION OF BALZAC'S NOTES. XXXIX, 167 pp (wanting half-title and title, as with French proof copies in general). The first page of each quire is stamped with the date it had to be returned, corrected (May 10 to June 2 for the main text, later in June for the preface and introduction). Manuscript notes and corrections in Blaizot's hand. A note on p. 1 of the main text is INITIALED IN INK BY BLAIZOT. Paper darkened but supple, as usual with proof copies of the period. 8vo. Bound in half morocco and marbled boards, likely for Blaizot. Binding worn but structurally solid and still attractive. Likely the earliest surviving copy of this Balzac first edition.
