FLAUBERT, Gustave - Madame Bovary. P., Eugène Fasquelle, 1928, in-8, bound in black bakelite Jotau. "Definitive edition followed by the indictment, the plea and the judgment of the trial brought against the author before the Correctional Court of Paris. Hearing of January 31 and February 7, 1857". Full hinged binding in monochrome bakelite with bevelled edges mounted on hinges. First board decorated with a metal plate bearing the engraved title between two decorative friezes and 6 "horizontal ribs" across its width. Spine adorned with a plate bearing the author's name and title engraved Gilt head, untrimmed, counter boards decorated with colored paper. "The endpapers are in the taste of the time, generally rather large pebbles, produced in the vat, or papers made with stencils with geographical shapes in rather bright colors and with, often, additions of gold or silver paint. The paper sometimes appears to have been finely calendered to give it a slightly moiré effect. The back covers are framed with the central recessed space covered with binding paper."
