Literatur des 17. bis 19. Jahrhunderts – Vierte Auflage, selten. - Nicht bei Holzmann-Boh., Hayn-G. u.a. - Die beiden Kupfer zeigen die Porträts der Schurken. Das Leben des Straßenräubers Cartouche diente als Vorlage für einen französischen Mantel- und Degen-Film. - Eine weitere, zusätzliche Kupfertafel mit einer Hinrichtungsszene als Schlussblatt eingebunden. - Diese 4. Augabe unterscheidet sich im Vergleich zu den früh. Ausgaben durch spiegelverkehrt wiedergegebene Kupfer und anderer Ausstattung (Textspiegel, Vignetten, Initialen). - Verblasster Logenstempel auf Titel, teils leicht unauffällig wasserrandig, insgesamt sehr gutes Exemplar.

Literature of 17th to 19th Century – Fourth edition, rare. - Not recorded in Holzmann-Bohatta, Hayn-Gotendorf, or others. - The two engraved plates show portraits of the villains. The life of the highwayman Cartouche served as the basis for a French swashbuckler film. An additional, extra engraved plate depicting an execution scene is bound in as a closing leaf. - This fourth edition differs from the earlier editions in that its engravings are reproduced in mirror image and in other aspects of its layout (text area, vignettes, initials). - Faded lodge stamp on the title page, in places slightly and inconspicuously water-stained, overall a very good copy.
