A pirated edition of *Le Paysan perverti*, about which Restif complained, but which he himself likely had printed in 1784 and dated 1776. *La Paysanne pervertie* is a first edition. 120 illustrations (82 for *Le Paysan perverti* and 38 for *La Paysanne pervertie*) by Binet, engraved by Berthet, Giraud Le Jeune, and Leroy. A very fine copy featuring the illustration on page 146 of Volume II of *La Paysanne* in its first state (with her legs apart), which is rare. The bindings, though slightly rubbed, are of very high quality, and the copy remains in excellent condition.
