Hello Lucie ( and Lynn) >From your description, it appears that you have a French edition. The earliest French edition that I have details for was dated Oct 1909, when 630,000 copies had been printed. I don't have the number of pages for this one, which is the larger size, but the 1924 pocket size contained 828. So it appears that your book predates 1909.
I keep looking for more clues to dates - the best so far was a English version which had a handwritten inscription - Holmes, Windermere, 1895. I believe the first book was published in 1886. Hope this helps a bit, Liz -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: 14 October 2009 19:08 To: [email protected] Subject: [lace] Dillmont again - to Liz Pass in Poole, Dorset Dear Liz, maybe you can help me date my Therese de Dillmont, Encyclopedie de Ouvrages des Dames.
