[ALMANACH]. Royal Almanac, year M. DCC. XLIX. Paris : Veuve d'Houry, Le Breton petit-fils d'Houry, 1749. - In-8, 191 x 126 : 452, 4 pp. Red morocco, large gilt roulette with foliage motif in frame and gilt arms in the center on the boards, spine decorated with nerves, inner gilt roulette, paper lining and endpapers decorated with stars and gilt dots, gilt edges (period binding). CR}Copy with the coat of arms of Charles-Étienne Le Peletier de Beaupré (1702-1785), marquis de Fruncé, politician and jurist, in turn councillor at the Parliament of Paris, maître des requêtes, intendant of the generality of Châlons, councillor and then president of the Grand Conseil, and councillor at the Conseil royal de commerce. OHR do not specifically describe the arms of this one but those, almost identical, of other members of the Le Peletier family. A very well preserved copy, including opposite the title, the label of the paper merchant Larcher, "À la teste noire". It comes from the library of the heraldist Olivier Le Bas. Small wormholes at the hinge of the first cover, a discreet restoration on the first cover. The leaves B4 and B5 corresponding to pages 23 to 26 are missing. These two leaves seem never to have been bound in the copy. Provenance: Charles-Étienne Le Peletier de Beaupré, with his arms on the boards. - Olivier Le Bas, with ex-libris.
