1767 Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift Illustrated 2vin1 Leather French ART

 

“Every man desires to live long, but no man wishes to be old.”

― Jonathan Swift, Gulliver’s Travels

 

Jonathan Swift was an Irish clergyman and writer. He is known most notably for classics such as ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ and ‘Drapier’s Letters’. “Travels into several remote nations” is both a satire on human nature and a parody of the “travellers’ tales” literary subgenre. It is Swift’s best-known full-length work, and an English Literature classic.

 

This 1767, two-volume French edition was published in La Haye in one leather-bound volume. Note the fine, full-page frontispieces.
