Galatea, pastoral novel; imitated by Cervantes... Paris, Defer de Maisonneuve, 1793. Grand in-4, blue paperboard (binding of the time). Cohen, 400 / Reynaud, 183 /// 125. One of the rare works of the late 18th century with figures printed in color. 4 figures engraved by Cazenave (2) and Colibert (2) after Monsiau, printed in colour. Copy on large paper with the figures before the letter and before the numbers, obviously the most frequent condition for this work. Used in cardboard. 11 sheets awkwardly cut in the upper margins, reaching 2 cm. Freckles
