BEAUFORT d'AUBERVAL: L'enfant du trou du souffleur ou l'autre Figaro. Paris, Lepetit, Leprieur, Maradan et Pigoreau, 1803. 2 parts bound in 1 vol. in-12 contemporary half calf, smooth spine ornamented (some foxing, handwritten bookplate on titles). 2 engraved frontispieces.
First edition of this work full of verve and gallant spirit. The initials used by the author (a sort of Léautaud before the letter) to designate certain characters, only half conceal the identity of some of the most famous actresses of his time: Mademoiselle Clairon, Dumesnil, Madame Vestris, Sophie Raucourt.
