Joint Catalogue No. 1. Paris / Amsterdam-Philadelphia, Librairie D. Weil - John Benjamins Antiquariaat, [circa 1980]. Large 4to, paperback, printed cover. An important antiquarian book catalog devoted to printed materials relating to the Parisian revolutions of 1848 and the Commune of 1871. Produced jointly by Librairie D. Weil (Philippe Luiggi) and the Dutch bookseller John Benjamins Antiquariaat, it lists several hundred newspapers, posters, brochures, pamphlets, proclamations, and ephemera, with each entry accompanied by a detailed bibliographic description, historical commentary, bibliographic references, and the original selling price. More than just a commercial catalog, this volume serves as a valuable working tool for bibliophiles, 19th-century historians, and collectors of revolutionary press materials. It offers a particularly rich overview of political, socialist, Blanquist, anarchist, republican, and pro-Versailles publications, many of which have now become major rarities. A reference catalog, useful both for identifying editions and for understanding the history of the antiquarian book market devoted to the French Revolutions. A fine copy.
