Description

[Constitution]. La Constitution Francaise Décrétée par l'Assemblée Nationale Constituante, aux années 1789, 1790 et 1791 ; Acceptée par le Roi le 14 septembre 1791. Paris, De l'Imprimerie de Didot jeune, Chez Garnery, 1791. Small in-16 (10 x 6.5 cm), 160 pp, red morocco, smooth spine decorated, gilt title, gilt roulette framing the boards, gilt edges (binding slightly post.). Small portable edition of the Constitution of 1791, printed by Didot Jeune in the year of its proclamation. Beautiful small-format edition, finely printed on wove paper in the typeface of Pierre-François Didot, dit le jeune. It is of particular interest, reflecting the importance of the text at the time: the idea was to publish the French Constitution in a format small enough to be transported in all circumstances, and accessible for a relatively modest sum; in this respect, this edition was a real success. In addition to the full text of the Constitution, it contains the King's letter and acceptance speech, together with a table of contents. The result of the work of the Constituent Assembly, the first French Constitution was proclaimed on September 3, 1791. It is divided into seven titles and two hundred and eight articles, preceded by the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. Spine slightly faded, one corner worn. Ex-libris Jacques Laget.
