[ECONOMICS]. MARX, Karl (1818-83). Le Capital [translated by J. Roy]. Paris: Lachâtre, [1872-75].
First edition in French, first issue, published under the supervision of and with new contributions by Karl Marx. It appeared in parts between August 1872 and May 1875. Marx himself stressed that this edition ‘has a scientific value independent from the original and must be read even by readers fluent in the German language’ (Avis au lecteur, p.348). Indeed, he included unpublished notes which he kept for a second German edition. These eventually appeared in the 1887 English edition issued by Engels four years after the author's death. The first issue is distinguished by the presence of the letter of the publisher to the author and by the mention of Lachâtre (not Librairie du Progrès) on the title-page. Die Erstdrucke der Werke von Marx und Engels, 1955, p. 33; BNF, Utopie, 216 (‘Oeuvre majeure, à la traduction de laquelle son auteur a contribué, au point qu’elle rassemblait des réflexions inédites’).
Quarto (289 x 190mm). Engraved portrait of the author, one leaf with lithographic reproduction of Marx’s letter to Maurice La Châtre, title illustration, engraved head- and tailpieces (faint dampstaining in the fore-margin of a few gatherings, some spotting and browning.) Contemporary half cloth, marbled boards, spine filleted and lettered in gilt, preserving the original pictorial front wrapper (extremities lightly rubbed).
