Description A two-volume set comprising Volumes 7 and 8 (Tome Septième and Tome Huitième) of Théâtre Complet de J.-B. Poquelin de Molière, published by Librairie des Bibliophiles (E. Flammarion, Successeur) in Paris and edited by D. Jouaust with annotations by G. Monval. The set forms part of an eight-volume collection featuring Molière’s dramatic works alongside the 1682 preface. These volumes include plays such as Les Femmes Savantes. The bindings feature full or quarter leather spines with gilt-stamped lettering and raised bands, paired with black, red, and yellow marbled paper boards, and vibrant peacock-patterned marbled endpapers in red, blue, green, and cream. Condition The bindings exhibit age-related wear, including rubbing, surface scuffing, and minor material loss along the spine edges, raised bands, and board extremities. The marbled paper surfaces show light shelf friction and edge wear. The interior pages remain clean with light, uniform age toning, and the text blocks show clean page edges. The gilt spine lettering remains legible, and the peacock-patterned endpapers retain bright coloration.
