Silk endpaper with gilt-embossed initials "M. F. L." dated 8 June 1939. A VERY FINE COPY inside and out. Beautifully printed in colors and gold by a leading French firm, this luxuriously bound prayer book was probably presented as a special gift to mark an important occasion.

In her "Bookbinders and their Craft," Prideaux says that the Gruel firm, founded in 1811, "always had the highest reputation . . . for initiative in artistic matters, as well as for irreproachable execution in the detail of its many-sided achievements." In 1851, the widowed Madame Gruel married the printer Englemann, and they joined forces to print and bind handsomely produced volumes like the present item. Although our binding is unsigned, the work is of high quality and could possibly be a later product of the Gruel firm, which remained in operation until the mid-20th century. At the same time, the "1939" on the endpaper seems not to be a reliable indication of publication date, which very probably was closer to the turn of the 20th century.
