1820–1821 Cours de Littérature Ancienne et Moderne by J.F. de La Harpe – 5 Leather-Bound Volumes – Antique French Books
This is a beautiful bundle of five leather-bound volumes from Lycée ou Cours de Littérature Ancienne et Moderne by Jean-François de La Harpe, published in Dijon by Victor Lagier and Frantin, Imprimeur du Roi, in 1820–1821.
These early 19th-century French books are over 200 years old, offering an authentic piece of literary and printing history from the Restoration period.
Included volumes:
4. Tome Quatrième – Anciens, Éloquence, Histoire, Philosophie, et Littérature Mixte (1820)
9. Tome Neuvième – Dix-huitième Siècle — Poésie (1820)
11. Tome Onzième – Dix-huitième Siècle — Poésie (1821)
14. Tome Quatorzième – Dix-huitième Siècle — Poésie (1821)
17. Philosophie du Dix-huitième Siècle (1821, ouvrage posthume de J.F. de La Harpe)
Original leather bindings with gilt spine decoration and red title labels.
All volumes show aging consistent with books over 200 years old — including rubbing, edge wear, and foxing.
One book #9 has a cracked spine, though it remains intact and holding together.
Pages are generally clean and legible, bindings secure for age.
These volumes display beautifully together and make a fine addition to any antique book collection, French literature library, or historical decor setting.
