Mary SHELLEY.
Est: €20,000 - €25,000
Mary SHELLEY. Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus. London, Lackington, Hugues, Harding, Mavor, & Jones, 1818. 3 volumes in-12 : flamed basane, richly decorated smooth spines, red morocco titles and tomes, gilt fillet and gilt roulette around the boards, gilt roulette on the edges (modern binding). Uncommon first edition: 500 copies were printed. The novel, like the preface by Percy Shelley, was published anonymously: it is dedicated to the author's father, William Godwin. This masterpiece of European literature was born of a competition initiated by Lord Byron one night in June 1816. During a joint holiday on Lake Geneva, the writer suggested to Percy Shelley, his future wife Mary and John Polidori, his doctor, that they write a ghost story. The excellence of the novel published by Mary Shelley a year and a half later far surpassed the works of her "competitors"-a mysterious fragment of a novel by Byron and Polidori's The Vampyre. Impeccable decorated binding in the taste of the time. The false titles have not been preserved, nor the advertising leaflets. (Elizabeth Campbell Denlinger, It's Alive! A visual History of Frankenstein, Pierpont Morgan Library, 2018, p. 159.- David Spurr and Nicolas Ducimetière, Frankenstein Created from Darkness, Martin Bodmer Foundation, 2016, no. 26.) Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus. London, Lackington, Hugues, Harding, Mavor, & Jones, 1818. 3 volumes in-12 : basane flammée, dos lisses richement ornés, pièces de titre et de tomaison de maroquin rouge, filet et roulette dorés encadrant les plats, roulette dorée sur les coupes (reliure moderne). Édition originale peu commune : elle a été tirée à 500 exemplaires. Le roman, comme la préface par Percy Shelley, parut sous le voile de l'anonyme : il est dédié au père de l'autrice, William Godwin. Ce chef-d'oeuvre de la littérature européenne naquit d'un concours initié par Lord Byron une nuit de juin 1816. Lors de vacances communes au bord du lac Léman, l'écrivain proposa à Percy Shelley, à sa future femme Mary ainsi qu'à John Polidori, son médecin, d'écrire une histoire de fantôme. L'excellence du roman publié par Mary Shelley un an et demi plus tard dépassa de loin les oeuvres de ses "concurrents"- un mystérieux fragment d'un roman de Byron et The Vampyre de Polidori. Impeccable reliure décorée dans le goût de l'époque. Les faux-titres n'ont pas été conservés, ni les feuillets publicitaires. (Elizabeth Campbell Denlinger, It's Alive! A visual History of Frankenstein, Pierpont Morgan Library, 2018, p. 159.- David Spurr et Nicolas Ducimetière, Frankenstein créé des ténèbres, Fondation Martin Bodmer, 2016, nº 26.)

Mary Shelley Autograph Letter Signed Regarding Percy
Est: $3,000 - $4,500
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley autograph letter signed, dated Monday 15 June (likely 1843) from Sorrento during her travels through Italy. In this rare missive by the ''Frankenstein'' author, Shelley writes to the Italian nobleman Bartolomeo Cini regarding letters written by her late husband Percy Shelley to Cini's mother-in-law, the writer Margaret King Tighe, which Shelley was waiting to receive. Margaret King Tighe was a pupil of Shelley's mother, and the couple reacquainted themselves with her during their travels in Italy some 28 years prior. Letter in Italian reads in part, ''...Dear Mr. Cini, / I have not received any letters other than the one that Nerina sent since I arrived here [strikethrough], at this address. It is likely that you have not received any for us, but I am mentioning this because the Post Office of Naples has a terrible reputation in terms of preciseness - and the one in Sorrento is much worse. From now, would you be so kind as to send the letters that will maybe be sent to you to [illegible] M.M. Cotterelli [illegible] Naples. / and I am more certain of receiving them because our stay here is rather uncertain. We will probably leave here for England at the beginning of the current month. We will travel by sea. It would be very good if we found Nerina in Livorno. This place is truly a paradise, its beauty is indescribable. We live in a peace and tranquillity very pleasant to me, but Percy and Knox find it a bit monotonous. I hear from London that Nerina feels quite better. I pray God that she will regain her health. Percy and Knox send their best regards and many thanks for your kindness. / Please consider me your servant and friend. / M Shelley''. Shelley's travels through Europe with her son Percy formed the basis of her travelogue, ''Rambles in Germany and Italy in 1840, 1842 and 1843''. Three page letter on bifolium stationery measures 5.5'' x 8.5'' as folded, with address panel and red wax seal on verso. Chip to corner of last page, and some ink bleedthrough. Very good plus condition. With full translation.
