About This Item

Paris: Michel Lévy frères, 1863. Fine. Michel Lévy frères, Paris 1863, 14x22cm, relié. - Édition originale. Reliure en demi chagrin bleu marine, dos lisse légèrement foncé sans gravité orné de triples filets dorés, plats de papier marbré, tranches mouchetées, reliure de l'époque. Envoi autographe signé de Gustave Flaubert au jurisconsulte et homme politique rouennais F[rédéric] Deschamps : « hommage de la plus haute considération, souvenirs d'amitié ». Frédéric Deschamps est « une des lumières du barreau rouennais et l'un des citoyens les plus estimés de la Normandie » (Biographie nationale des contemporains, Glaeser, 1878). Egalement républicain engagé aux côtés de Jules Sénard, mais aussi écrivain et poète, il défendra contre la mairie de Rouen la proposition de Flaubert d'édifier une statue en hommage à Louis Bouilhet. Une partie de la correspondance entre Gustave Flaubert et Frédéric Deschamps est conservée à l'Institut de France. Précieux exemplaire en reliure d'époque enrichi d'un amical envoi autographe signé de l'auteur à l'un des membres du cénacle rouennais. [ENGLISH TRANSLATION FOLLOWS] First edition. Contemporary half navy blue shagreen over marbled paper boards, spine with triple gilt fillets (slightly discolored, but not seriously), speckled edges. Inscribed by Gustave Flaubert to the jurist and politician from Rouen, F[rédéric] Deschamps: ""hommage de la plus haute considération, souvenirs d'amitié [with my deepest respect and memories of our friendship]"". Frédéric Deschamps was ""one of the leading lights of the Rouen bar and one of the most upstanding citizens in Normandy,"" (Biographie nationale des contemporains, Glaeser, 1878). A Republican serving alongside Jules Sénard, he was also a writer and a poet; and acted in defence of Flaubet's proposition of erecting a statue to Louis Bouilhet against the municipality of Rouen. Part of the correspondence between Flaubert and Deschamps is preserved in the Institut de France. A handsome copy in its contemporary binding with a friendly autograph inscription from the author to a member of the literary world in Rouen.
