FLAUBERT, Gustave. Salammbô.
Paris: Michel Lévy Frères, 1863.

Octavo (236 x 156 mm). (2) ff., 474 pp., (1) f. Original wrappers preserved.
Chocolate half morocco with corners, smooth spine inlaid with a red morocco ribbon bearing the author and title in gilt, top edge gilt (E. Rousselle).

First edition, first issue, in its XIXth century binding (yet, a little later than the book) with inlaid spine.
Rare in this condition and probably one of the only known copies in a binding with an inlaid spine.

A very fine copy, notwithstanding some slight rubbing.
