A celebrated edition, the best and most extensive hitherto printed, supervised by Pierre Beaumarchais, and printed using John Baskerville's types, which had been acquired for that purpose. The careful editorship ensured that the edition remained the basis for further editions of Voltaire's works for many decades afterwards. Brunet V, 1354. 70 volumes, octavo (219 x 133 mm). Contemporary tree calf, red and green labels, gilt in compartments, marbled sides and endpapers. Vol. 45 only has been rebound to style. 8 portrait frontispieces and 103 plates, 3 with tissue guards to vol. 45. Armorial bookplate of Laplagne-Barris, obscured or effaced, to each front pastedown (save for vol. 45). Some wear around spine ends and tips but generally in nice shape, front joint of vol. 11 and 32 cracked (the latter with some repair), all other joints and hinges intact, contents of vol. XIV and XVI with some staining, some browning to title pages but otherwise clean. Seller Inventory # 150151
