Beautiful signed and numbered First Bicentennial Edition of Lafayette in America by Louis Gottschalk, published by L’Esprit de Lafayette Society in celebration of the American Bicentennial.
This limited collector’s edition is copy BH685 and is personally signed by author Louis Gottschalk on the title page. Also retains its Certification of First Edition, signed by the craftsman responsible for the binding and dated July 30, 1976.
An exceptionally well-made edition, hand-bound in genuine top-grain buffalo leather with 24-karat gold stamping, red silk moiré endpapers, French tricolor ribbon marker, archival paper, and bound-in lithographic reproductions of original Revolutionary War maps.
Vintage condition with age-related wear and spotting to the page edges and some exterior wear as photographed. Binding remains very attractive. Please review photos closely for condition.
A wonderful collectible for an American Revolution, Marquis de Lafayette, French-American history, or fine-binding collection.
