This is a bit of a long shot, but I’m hoping someone on this list might provide me with some suggestions. For an upcoming exhibit, I’m looking for images of rare books. Specifically, I’m interested in 18^th century political science books (pre 1810) that are written in French. (i.e. Montesquieu and similar works) I don’t need the books themselves, I just want to see what they looked like, especially the spines. I’m wondering if perhaps there’s a rare book repository out there that has some expertise in this area that might be able to help me out.

 

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Thank you,
