Some variation in age-toning due to slightly different paper stocks. A few corners folded down. All edges gilt. Original cream endpapers. No inscriptions. 38 x 54 mm. Original green straight-grained roan. Gilt pointillé borders with palmette style corner-pieces; front cover with central gilt titling. Extremely mild handling. The Didot family is responsible for the famous Didot typeface, often referred to as the "Didone" style, characterized by extreme contrast between thick and thin strokes and flat, unbracketed serifs - quintessential Enlightenment-era French typography. The address Rue Jacob No. 56 in Paris was the iconic headquarters of the Didot empire, housed in the former historic Hôtel Le Peletier de Rosanbo, where the Treaty of Paris (which ended the American Revolutionary War) was signed in 1783.
