A beautiful French cartonnage volume, Marceline ou Les Leçons de la Vie by Madame de Chabreu, published in Tours in 1862. A wonderful variation from the more heavily embossed bindings, with a flatter gilt and vividly colored cover centered by a pastoral scene of a young woman resting beside sheaves of wheat. The surrounding border is absolutely packed with colorful flowers.
In really good condition overall with a good spine and some separation at the top.
