Title
Gulistan ou L'empire des roses : traité des moeurs des rois
Description
This first example is that of what is termed an “armorial binding”, where the coat of arms of an aristocratic family will serve to indicate ownership on a book’s binding. Such bindings are executed with exquisite care and a family’s arms are tooled into the covers and then gilded. In the case of this “essay on the conduct of kings”, the leather covers have been embossed with the coat of arms of Jeanne Antoinette Pompadour (1721-1764), chief mistress of Louis XV, King of France.
