Histoire du pontificat et de la captivité de Pie VI

1860 · Lille : L. Lefort · 2 pictures

A French-language history of the papacy and the captivity of Pope Pius VI, published in Lille by L. Lefort in 1860, presumably for a general readership. Its binding is the chief visual interest: pale blue boards covered in gold-stamped Rococo scrollwork, cartouches and shells, with a central gilt oval panel framing a small scene, and a spine with raised gilt ornament.
