A unique example extra-illustrated by Charles Huard with two copper plates and numerous original drawings by multiple artists.

A large collection from the publisher's Javal and Bordeaux of illustrations for Flaubert's novel.

Flaubert's first published novel. 'Madame Bovary, the story of the adulteries and suicide of a doctor's wife in provincial Normandy, is notable for its rigorous psychological development, and manifests the qualities that mark all his mature work: authenticity of detail, an impersonal narrative method, a precise and harmonious style. Certain passages having been judged to be offensive to public morals, Flaubert, his publisher, and his printer were tried but acquitted' (Drabble).
