RACINE, Jean (1639-1699). Oeuvres. Paris: 1760.
Large 4° (289 x 218mm). Half-titles, titles with engraved vignettes by Chevillet after de Sève, engraved portrait of the author by J. Daullé, 12 engraved plates, engraved head- and tailpieces, by Flipart, Aliamet, Baquoy, Tardieu and others, all after de Sève. (Light spotting and some light browning.) Contemporary sprinkled calf gilt, red and blue morocco lettering-pieces, yellow edges (extremities lightly rubbed, a few light stains). Provenance: Jasper More (bookplate).
FIRST EDITION WITH DE SÈVE'S ILLUSTRATIONS. According to Ray, ‘in these stately volumes, Jacques de Sève did for Racine what Boucher had done for Molière. Indeed, the fact that he alone was responsible for designing the twelve plates, thirteen headpieces and sixty tailpieces gives them a decorative unity quite unmatched in the earlier work.' Brunet IV, 1078: "Première édition de Racine, publiée en France, avec une certain apparence de luxe"; Cohen-de Ricci 846-7; Ray, French 60.
