LITERATURE - Jonathan SWIFT, "The Four Voyages of Captain Lemuel Gulliver," 1875 Volumes I and II (incomplete set) Illustrated with etchings after Lalauze Librairie des bibliophiles Limited edition of 200 copies Ex-libris of Mr. Henri Delor, judge in the civil court 139 and 175 pages Good condition, slight foxing, old trace of a torn adhesive label on the front cover of Volume II Note: A beautiful bibliophile edition of Gulliver’s Travels, printed in a small run, which reflects the 19th-century taste for the great literary classics enriched with high-quality illustrations. The etchings based on Lalauze’s work accompany the text with finesse, extending the satirical and fantastical imagination of the work. Through Gulliver’s travels, Jonathan Swift offers a subtle critique of society, blending humor, irony, and moral reflection. This meticulously crafted edition—both in its choice of paper and its elegant binding—follows a tradition of books intended for discerning connoisseurs. The bookplate and limited print run enhance the collectible value of this copy, which is representative of the refined publications of the Librairie des bibliophiles in the late 19th century.
