RICHER (Adrien). WORLD THEATRE, where, through examples taken from ancient and modern authors, virtues and vices are contrasted. Work dedicated to the Queen, and decorated with very beautiful engravings, from the drawings of MM. Moreau the Younger and Marillier. Paris, Defer de Maisonneuve, 1788. 4 volumes in-8, vellum, preserved mute cover (modern binding). A collection of texts and historical examples dealing with love and friendship in all its forms (conjugal, paternal, filial, fraternal, love of country...). The set is illustrated with 20 off-text engravings by Moreau and Marillier. Small lack of paper at the corner of the first pages of a volume, otherwise a good copy entirely untrimmed.
