[ANA]. Le Nouvel Angotiana, or collection of good words attributed to the Angots family. Lille : Castiaux (Blocquel's printing house), [circa 1811]. - In-24, dark blue morocco, triple gilt fillet framing the boards, ornate ribbed spine, gilt lace inside, gilt edges (binding of the second half of the 19th century). Rare popular edition published around 1811, part of the "Ana" collection, designating collections of light literature, intended for the largest number of people, without literary pretension but amusing and entertaining . The present text is attributed to the man of letters Armand Henri Ragueneau de La Chainaye (1777-185.). This Lille edition is illustrated with a frontispiece depicting an old woman, with this caption: "J'sis Mame Angot peut-être." Copies of this edition include a different frontispiece. Beautiful copy in full morocco, a rare condition for this kind of title. The frontispiece is in colors and there is a black proof of the same engraving, printed on pink paper pasted to one of the white endpapers. The figure is surmounted by the mention "Angotiana". It is probably a piece of the original cover. Missing the false title with the list of Ana sold at Castiaux on the back. Provenance : Victor Luzarche ? (sale March 1868, n° 3516).
