Description
A beautifully bound 1924 edition of Poésies Choisies de Ronsard, one of France’s most celebrated Renaissance poets. This edition was compiled and annotated by the esteemed historian and academic Pierre de Nolhac and published by Librairie Garnier Frères, Paris.
Elegantly presented with a marbled hardback cover and a richly tooled leather spine, the book reflects the refined French binding traditions of the early 20th century. The spine bears gilt lettering and floral embellishments along with the author’s name and title: “RONSARD – POÉSIES CHOISIES.”
Pierre de Ronsard (1524–1585), known as the “Prince of Poets,” was a prominent figure in the French literary movement La Pléiade. This curated volume contains selections of his lyrical poetry, offering a window into the poet’s themes of love, nature, and classical beauty.
