A beautiful early 19th-century French {almost complete} set of Les Journées au Village (“Days in the Village”) by François-Guillaume Ducray-Duminil, dated 1806. It has that warm, slightly rustic feel you get with French provincial books of this period, and the volumes sit together really nicely on a shelf.
To note: The set is offered with Volume 2 not present, though the remaining volumes present well together and still carry a strong sense of completeness visually. Early sets like this are increasingly hard to come by, and they remain highly appealing both as decorative pieces and for anyone drawn to early French literature.
Measurements: 5.25”h
