This is only a preliminary catalogue in which I have not included the special tools that were made by Louis Douceur for the La Fontaine, Fables choisies, mises en vers. bindings. A copy of Fables Choisies in a binding decorated with these tools, was recently sold at auction (click to see this listing,) I have copied the information from that auction below along with yet another Lucretius example also recently sold at auction, however without mention of Douceur! (Click to see this listing). Even though this is a very low resolution image we can make out the imprint ' d-26' in the corners as it is also found on the binding of item 60 at the top of the page, this makes 4 examples of 1754 Lucretius bindings with dentelles by Douceur
