label: Description
content: Festival book describing and illustrating the festivities organized by the city of Strasbourg in honor of King Louis XV’s visit in 1744. Bound in a French mid-eighteenth-century Morocco leather (goatskin) binding with blue silk endleaves, gilt tooling along spine and gilt block tooling on the covers, featuring the French Royal coat of arms and heraldic devices in the corners, possibly for a member of the de Cerjat family from the Pays de Vaud in Switzerland. The book later belonged to the French journalist Louis-Edmond Quentin, marquis de Champcenetz (1760-1794) who was executed for his writings. The book does not appear in the sale of his library in 1795 but his ex-libris is pasted onto the upper cover lining of the book. The binding is by the Parisian bookbinder A.M Padeloup.
