LA FIZELIERE (Albert de).
Fashionable wines and cabarets in the 17th century. Frontispiece in etching by Maxime Lalanne. P., René Pincecourbe, "Petite Bibliothèque des Curieux", 1866, in-12, 84 p. including 12 p. of the catalog of the "Bibliothèque originale", brown half-maroquin with corners, spine with 5 nerves, author, title and date gilt, bookplate of Maurice Lacroix (scattered spotting). First edition printed "à petit nombre pour les amateurs" on laid paper. Rare small volume containing various anecdotes of the counter - or rather of the cabaret : "A German bishop, a great wine lover, used to be preceded in his travels by a praegustator who tried the wines of all the cabarets on the road, and wrote the word "est" on the door of the one where he had found the best... Now the wine of Montefiascone seemed to him so excellent, that he repeated three times the word "is" in big characters on the door of the inn where he had discovered it. The bishop agreed, and drank so much of it that he died on the spot. But the book contains other anecdotes about Parisian cabarets, among others. Not in Oberlé.
