About This Item

Paris: Chez Giguet et Michaud, 1805. Finely bound example of Berchoux's epic gastronomical poem. 12mo, bound in one quarter morocco over marbled boards with gilt titles and tooling to the spine, marbled endpapers, all edges marbled. Engraved frontispiece and other engravings throughout. In near fine condition. Tasteful bookplate to the front free endpaper. A charming example. Gastronomy has historically been a primary factor in defining French regional and national identity, and at the turn of the 20th century, accounts of regional recipes, products, manners and customs penned by local dignitaries became a competitive practice. Berchoux's La Gastronomie is a masterful and elaborate work of prose, offering a clear and detailed insight into the customs of the early 19th century Parisian table.
