Fire Flowers Grande Unlined Hardcover Journal

Brilliant fireworks are conjured up by this magnificent journal cover which reproduces the binding La Déclamation Théâtrale (1766), a didactic poem by Claude J. Dorat. Scorned by critics, Dorat persisted in writing an explosion of works. Though his legacy is not that of a major master, one cannot help but admire his incandescent desire to create.
