L’Imagination— Jacques Delille, 1817
Bound in warm, timeworn leather with gilded detail and marbled edges, this poetic French volume carries two centuries of quiet beauty. L’Imagination, penned by Jacques Delille in 1817, explores the creative spirit and the boundless nature of thought — a reflection on art, poetry, and the human soul.
This particular copy was once awarded as a “Prix de Vertu” at the Collège Royal de Clermont in 1825 — a moral prize given for virtue and scholarship, handwritten on a charming printed label inside the cover. A meaningful relic of academic pride and poetic reverie.
A beautiful display piece for a bookshelf, writing desk, or reading nook — perfect for those drawn to French literature and the art of imagination itself. — Jacques Delille, 1817
