A Trainee's Notebook - Henry Bordeaux - Paris 1911
A beautifully bound French book from 1911, written by Henry Bordeaux and published by Librairie Plon in Paris.
Le Carnet d'un stagiaire, subtitled Scènes de la vie judiciaire, contains a collection of stories and observations on French judicial life. Drawing on his own background as a lawyer, Bordeaux describes various human situations, court cases, and moral dilemmas.
This copy features an attractive dark green half-linen binding with gold-colored spine decoration and a burgundy title label. The covers are covered with striking marbled paper in various shades of green, blue, and ochre yellow.
The combination of the colorful marbled paper and the well-kept green spine gives the book a characteristic appearance consistent with the French bookbinding tradition of the early twentieth century.
The book is in good to very good antique condition. The binding is sturdy and well-maintained, with slight wear to the edges and corners. The book block has been well preserved and shows the customary paper yellowing and a few light age spots.
A lovely copy for lovers of French literature, legal history, and classic bookbindings.
