What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce
In the original French.
The very scarce first edition of this major work, complete in all sixty-eight fascicules.
Illustrated with sixteen vibrant full colour plates, with numerous monochrome illustrations and engravings throughout. Collated, complete.
Alphabetically arranged, with a general title page to the first fascicule.
Edited by French chef, journalist, and author Prosper Montagné in collaboration with Dr Alfred Gottschalk, and with prefaces from chefs Georges Auguste Escoffier and Philéas Gilbert.
The very first edition of a work which was translated throughout the world, and continues to be republished and updated to this day. A classic culinary work which has withstood the test of time and become an invaluable source of information.
Condition
In the publisher's original paper wraps. Externally, excellent. Wraps lightly age toned to perimeters, with significant closed tear to rear wrap of final fascicule. Internally, text leaves loosely inserted in the wraps, as issued. Pages exceptionally clean and bright. Majority of leaves unopened to the head.
