Henriette by François Coppée Antique Leather Bound Book Paris Lemercier 1889
This is a beautiful antique edition of Henriette by François Coppée, published in Paris by Alphonse Lemerre. Bound in half-leather with striking marbled boards and matching marbled endpapers, it’s an elegant example of late 19th-century French bookbinding. The spine is gilt-lettered and features raised bands, with visible but charming signs of age that add to its authenticity. This collectible piece is over a century old and would make a refined addition to any antiquarian library or as a decorative display in a study.
