    19thC French Heraldry – Nouveau Manuel Complet Du Blason ou Code Heraldique – Pautet – 1854 – Special Fine Leather Binding from the Library of The Convent of the Birds – Notre Dame

    Published in 1854, a new edition, small thick octavo, 340 pages and ten extraordinary multiple folding plates.

    Bound in rich crimson leather, raised bands to spine with five compartments, separate title label, gilt decorations to other compartments and authors name at top and even more discrete perhaps the binders name at bottom. Front and back boards panelled in gilt with decorations and heraldic shield to front, page edges richly gilt.

    Carries the unusual and large bookplate of the “Maison des Oiseux” which shows two kneeling angels adoring flaming hearts, one pierced by a dagger the other crown of thorns …engraved by Chezoud of Rue de la Verrerie No55, Paris.

    Long regarded as a fine book on Heraldry and French Coat of Arms this book is “made” by its impressive engravings – and this copy in a binding to die for.

    Heraldry French style dressed to impress for the Convent of the Birds
