About the Item

Very nice copy of this reprint of 1892 by Reeves and Turner of the first edition of 1832 edited in only 200 copies as declared on frontispiece. Hard cover in leather engraved with golden letters and decorations. Spine with 5 nerves. Lightly worn on borders of cover and spine, inside excellent conditions. The Masque of Anarchy is a Political response to the Peterloo Massacre of that year. Shelley calls for freedom in perhaps the first modern statement of non-violent resistance. The poem was originally written in 1819 and was not published until 1832. At that time Shelley in fact thought that the events were too recent to issue the poem.

Assemblée Nationale Comique - Vintage Rare Book Illustrated by CHAM - 1850
By Charles Amedee de Noe (CHAM)
Located in Roma, IT
Assemblée Nationale Comique is an original modern rare book illustrated by CHAM and written by Auguste Lireux (Rouen, 1814 - 1870, Bougival) in 1850. Published by Michel Lévy Frères –Paris. Original First Edition. Format: large 8°. The book includes 625 pages and 20 fully illustrated page lithographs. Mint conditions. Auguste Lireux (Rouen, 1814 - 1870, Bougival). Lireux began, out of college, by founding, in his hometown, a small newspaper, the Indiscret , whose sarcastic and biting tone made him many enemies and which earned him seven or eight duels, where he has almost always been injured. There he recounted the marital misadventures of his compatriots, a process which provided him with a great deal of copy, but which he had to put an end to when a chair-mender outraged in his reputation had not inflicted on him a correction which could have had very serious consequences if the painter Garneray had not come to his aid. Discouraged, in 1841 he went to Paris, where he founded La Patrie which was then regarded as an opposition newspaper. He entered several other newspapers, including the Revue et gazette des théâtres , which then had among its editors Édouard Thierry , the administrator of the Théâtre-Français, the Courrier français (1846), the Revue comique (1848), the Messenger from theaters...
