About This Item
Convent-raised Marguerite de Launay lived a comfortable life until her benefactress died and poverty compelled her to become a lady-in-waiting. Her clever literary gifts emerged at court, where she assisted the Duchess due Maine with her Mémoire des princes légitimes. She was involved in scandals and romances and eventually married to a more secure station. Her memoirs are compelling and humorous reading, and are very much of the time.
Handsome limited edition of the amusing and clear-sighted memoirs. Here with a preface by Mme La Baronne Double and 41 etchings par A.D. Lalauze. In French.
Paris: Edition Jouaust, Librarie des Bibliophiles, 1890. 204, 212 pages. Each volume 19 x 12 x 3cm. Three quarter leather binding with four bands to spine. Very pretty, though most pages cockled and stiff, and so overall condition good only.
