Vintage 1971 French-language hardcover edition of L’Affaire du Courrier de Lyon by Gabriel Olivier, published by Edito-Service in Geneva as part of the Les Causes Célèbres collection.
The book recounts the infamous 1796 Courrier de Lyon criminal case, one of France’s most notorious historical miscarriages of justice. Includes a preface by Frédéric Pottecher and historical illustrations.
Beautiful brown decorative binding with gilt detailing, fleur-de-lis motifs, and an ornamented spine. A lovely addition to a collection of French literature, historical books, or decorative antique and vintage volumes.
