Bound in speckled paper-covered boards with leather backstrip. Spine vertically cracked but holding; joints the same. Basically clean, sound and entire.
Collection of romantic tragedies by the husband-and-wife team of Van Winter and Van Merken. In fact, all but one of the titles in this collection are by the wife, Van Merken (only "Monzongo," an anti-slavery drama, is by Van Winter). Van Winter was the son of a trader in indigo and dyes, and witnessed first-hand the kinds of abuses which led to his anti-slavery play, Monzongo. Van Merken was an established poet and playwright when she married Van Winter the year his first wife died (1768). Her "Artemines," subtitled in French "La vertu pour guide," was first published in 1774, but was republished in 1786 to coincide with the second volume (not present) of the couple's collected works.

About Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio
Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio owes its name and its inspiration to the traditional Italian studio bibliografico. These small antiquarian bookshops, typically run by individuals who combine deep scholarship with a love of the printed object, remind us that underlying the words "study" and "studio" is the Latin term for zeal and devotion, studium. Since 1993, my goal has been to match discerning collectors with extraordinary books and manuscripts.
