Meusnier de Querlon - Chimot, Édouard - Les Soupers de Daphné, suivi des Dortoirs de Lacédémone. Complete text of the 1740 princeps edition, Paris, Éditions Éryx, 1951. In-4, red half-cornered morocco, gilt fillets on covers, 4-nerved spine decorated in gold with a small female figure wearing a garland of flowers, gilt head, lined slipcase - 116 pp, [4 ff.], 14 original full-page etchings by Édouard Chimot. Edition of 429 numbered copies on large-format Rives vellum, 1/195 (no. 361). In a fanciful Greek antiquity, Meusnier de Querlon satirizes the suppers given in his day by great personalities. The key to Les Soupers de Daphné is given at the end of the book. Among them are Louis XV himself, Mme de Mailly, the Princess of Rohan and others. A gallant 18th-century masterpiece, lightly illustrated in the antique style by Édouard Chimot.
