8vo. (4)-48 pp.
Modern fawn sheepskin, spine with raised bands highlighted with blind-stamped fillets, title label and volume number in red sheepskin, gilt title, gilded fillets, cover preserved (a few foxing spots, soiling on the cover with minor restoration to the back cover, very slight wear to the binding with slight rubbing on the raised bands and small stains).
Carteret I, 425. Vicaire IV, 350.
First edition with a touching autographed dedication from Hugo to his grandniece, Zoé Hugo.
The daughter of Léopold Hugo (1828–1895), mineralogist and poet, and granddaughter of Abel, Victor’s brother, she lived to be only 20 years old.
“To my dear little Zoé / V. H.”, in pen on the half-title page.
Here, Victor Hugo dedicates to her a more personal, family-oriented work, written in memory of his two deceased sons who had followed him into exile in Guernsey.
