BÉRANGER (Pierre-Jean de). Complete works ... Single edition reviewed by the author. Paris: Perrotin, 1834. - 4 volumes in-8, 240 x 150, in sheets, untrimmed, under delivery covers, modern folder and case. Partly original edition, the first to bear the title Complete Works. "This edition is more complete than any previous or subsequent edition. Béranger regarded it as definitive; indeed, it was, since those of 1835, 1836, etc., and even the 1847 one, except for the 10 new songs, are only reprints of the 1834 one, minus the supplement. " (Brivois, Bibliography of the work of P.-J. de Béranger..., p. 46.) The illustration includes 105 compositions out of text, including 1 captioned portrait-frontispiece representing Béranger in front of the window of his prison, engraved after a composition by Ary Scheffer (volume 1), 1 portrait-frontispiece representing Béranger, woodcut after a composition by Nicolas-Toussaint Charlet (volume 4) and 103 captioned hors-texts engraved in intaglio after compositions by Achille Deveria, Tony and Alfred Johannot, Charlet, Grenier, Théophile Fragonard, Isabey, Henri Monnier, Horace Vernet, etc. There is also a facsimile of an autograph letter from Béranger with his transcription. One hundred of these compositions come from a new edition of the suite published from 1828 to 1833 ; three are unpublished. Copy on heavyweight vellum ragpaper with off-text on china applied. Rare in deliveries, complete with all covers including general covers . Dirt and tears without gravity to some covers. Clear wetness touching a few leaves and boards of the first volume.
