[LECLERC DE SAINT-AUBIN]. Petit journal du Palais royal, ou Affiches, annonces et avis divers. Au Palais royal [Paris], De l'Imprimerie du Caveau, 1789. Set of 6 issues in an in-8 volume, bradel red cloth, black spine binding (Binding circa 1900).
Hatin, p. 96. - Tourneux, n°10321.
Rare complete collection of all 6 issues of this satirical journal, wrongly attributed by Barbier to La Reynie de La Bruyère and restored to Leclerc de Saint-Aubin.
The prospectus occupying the first pages of issue no. 1 gives tantalizing details of the contents of this ferocious and obscene periodical: Today, when the mask is lifted on all sides, what rarities will be offered to the avid eyes of curious amateurs! The veil of decency will no longer cover these charming nudes that indigence, libertinism & coquetry secretly exposed for sale, or rent. [...] Violent deaths and mysterious burials will become common knowledge.
Copy of the Goncourts, with their bookplate engraved by Gavarni, the autograph signature of Jules de Goncourt and this note in red ink on a flyleaf: Collection complète des six numéros. One of the Revolution's most violently scandalous newspapers against actresses and court ladies.
Brown circular mark on the title of the first issue. Minor brown spots. Crack to one spine.
