Tante Marie / Durand et Mélin - La Véritable Cuisine de...

Pair of two ancient works published by Librairie A. Taride, Paris, originating from the same editorial collection and kept together. 1. La Véritable Cuisine de Famille – Tante Marie Ancient French cookbook including 1,000 recipes and 500 menus, by Tante Marie. Mention “Nouvelle édition revue et augmentée.” Librairie A. Taride, 18-20 boulevard Saint-Denis, Paris. The copy notably contains old handwritten annotations of recipes as well as a bookseller/printing stamp from A. Lefreson, Gournay-en-Bray. 2. Le Secrétaire pratique ou Traité complet de la correspondance Practical work devoted to correspondence, by Durand and Meslins, also published by Librairie A. Taride, Paris. Old manual offering in particular models of family letters, business letters, petitions, acts under private seal, etc. Condition The two works are in an old, heavily patinated state, as shown in the photographs. Foxing, stains, browning of the paper, wear to covers and corners. Bindings showing age-related fragility. In the cookbook, the binding between the body of the book and the cover is notably fragile. The handwritten annotations, stamps, signs of use, and traces of time contribute to the historical character of this collection. Sold together, as photographed. Beautiful pair of two old French-language works from Librairie A. Taride, of interest to collectors of old books, cuisine, household arts, and documents bearing witness to daily French life.
