Large in-8, black morocco, spine ribbed, gilt edges, red morocco lining with gilt fleur-de-lys framed by a quadruple gilt fillet (Chambolle-Duru).

Signed autograph letter : "To Madame la Comtesse Greffulhe, homage of Philippe, duc d'Orléans". Minor foxing. Spine slightly faded. Precious copy of the Countess Greffulhe, aristocrat and personality of the Tout-Paris of the Belle Époque, who served as a model for Marcel Proust for the character of the Duchess of Guermantes in À la recherche du temps perdu. "Very rare" says Thiébaud. Very nice copy in doubled morocco.
