BOREL D'HAUTERIVE (André-François-Joseph):... - Lot 108 - Richard Maison de ventes
BOREL D'HAUTERIVE (André-François-Joseph): Directory of the nobility of France and the sovereign houses of Europe. [From the 1st year (1843) to the 45th (1887)]. Paris, Au Bureau de la Publication (and various publishers), n.d. [1843-1887]. 43 volumes (2 double volumes: 1849-1850 and 1871-1872). 11 by 18 cm. About 450 pages per volume. Burgundy half-chagrin, spine with 5 nerves, title and year piece in midnight blue. Caster on the spine. Slight scattered foxing (not serious). A very slightly different volume of binding (1870). Very good condition. Ex-libris of the Library of the Chasteau de La Grangefort in the lower Auvergne. Head of the collection of this directory, which was published until 1957. Borel d'Hauterive "founded the Revue historique de la noblesse de France (1841-1843) and published the Annuaire de la noblesse, which he had founded in 1843 under the title Annuaire de la pairie and which he directed until his death in March 1896. This publication is among the most considerable works published on the nobility, although some of the assertions, provided by the families, should not be accepted without checking." Illustrated with numerous coats of arms in and out of text, some in color. A very nice set, in homogeneous binding.
