About This Item
Alec Tiranti, 1969 8vo (24.5 cm), VI, 115 pp, 283 illustrations on unpaginated plates. Publisher's wrappers. "Rococo taste in France is nowhere better seen than in the elegance of luxury editions of the tales of Boccaccio and La Fontaine, or related ancient and contemporary classics of hedonism such as these. In this book the attempt is made not only to judge the urbanity of Gravelot, the irony of Eisen, the pastoral imaginations of Moreau, and the sportiveness of the decoration by Choffard and Marillier, but to sum up the moral issues involved in the pursuit of happiness by the aristocracy of finance" (from the blurb).
