This is a beautiful Edwardian French edition of George Sand famous book, La Mare du Diable nicely dated for 1908. It has an exquisite leather bound cover and beautiful text and pages. It has partial separation to the rear spine and some scuffing to the leather and a nice picture of the author to the front. George Sand was of course the nom du plume for Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin de Francueil who advocated for women's rights and passion, criticized the institution of marriage, and fought against the prejudices of a conservative society. Sand's male attire enabled her to circulate more freely in Paris than most of her female contemporaries and gave her increased access to venues that barred women, even those of her social standing. This book is part of her biographical stories.
As a vintage or antique item, it will show signs of age and patina. This is a lovely very old item.
Please look at the photos carefully and please do ask any questions, I am happy to help.
