This lovely small binding narrates the life of Marie-Antoinette, Archduchess of Austria and Queen of France. Her husband, King Louis XVI of France (r. 1774-1792), was the last king to reign before the French Revolution of 1789; in 1793, the two of them were beheaded in the name of the République, when she was only 38 years old. Marie-Antoinette's story is illustrated by 4 aquatint plates by Noel after Le Roy.
2 folding calendars bound at beginning (1818) and end (1819), published by the specialist in this field, Janet. Occasional spotting. Original printed boards, all edges gilt, kept in the original matching slipcase; slightly soiled.
